Apparently federal officers protecting a federal courthouse from rioters is a "occupying army" according to a US Senator.

Also, in the not surprising department, the photo WW uses of "peaceful protesters" doesn't look so peaceful.

I think there was video in one the first stories I read showing this peaceful protester winding up to throw something when he was hit in the face.

Call me unsurprised that the story left out that these peaceful protestors have been try to break in and set the place on fire every night.

MechAg94:
Okay, so they are only mostly peaceful. 

griz:
The "mostly peaceful" description is pretty misleading.  By the same definition, the police response has also been mostly peaceful.  Come to think of it, when you consider that a lot of genuine warfare is spent trying to not get shot, you could even say that many actual battles are "mostly peaceful".
