This is just my opinion, but the protests at this time need to remain peaceful (I guess that is easy to say), but they must also be pushed to the brink of defiance, meaning do not move when asked to, do not stop making noise when asked to, but under no circumstance DO NOT "physically" resist a law enforcement officer.
Peaceful protest action was displayed this morning when State Troopers' cleared the Assembly vestibule and the hallway outside the offices of the speaker and majority leader. Troopers' first asked that everyone leave voluntarily and for those who chose not to then the Troopers' needed to physically move the people. That is fine.
Unfortunately, the word is that once again the "People's House" has now been closed even though public hearings are occuring inside.
