No one wears masks or hoods or black. The police are welcomed and families feel safe and welcome. People chant about building things rather than tearing them down. Protestors are always courteous to their neighbors. Participants sing appropriate songs but don't yell or scream. Everybody smiles. Members self police and guide those who are straying from the rules. No one destroys property or harms others. Someone hires a PIO to put a good face on the protest. (Peace needs good PR) Those that choose civil disobedience should peacefully allow themselves to be arrested and removed. The police should arrest those who practice civil disobedience instead of escalating things with pepper spray etc. ...you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.
