A. In the tradition of non-violence, non-violence means non-violent
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE; it does not mean peaceful legality; it is only
meaningful if it accompanies breaking of the law. But sloppy usage by
leftists and deliberate misudage by authorities have equated it with
peaceful legal action. Hence if a person lies down when arrested, that
person is in the eyes of authority committing violence.

Anyone who says the police need an excuse from violent behavior is an ignoramus.

CB: Yes, and civil disobedience means breaking an unjust law, like
white supremacist, Jim Crow laws or British imperialist and
colonialist occupation laws in India.   Not all laws are unjust and
certainly not as unjust as Jim Crow, Apartheid or colonialist
occupation laws.
