[ID: Facebook post by Pavlos Stavropoulos reading, “If you are truly interested in non-violence then you will ask and expect it from everyone. The government, the community, the police, the national guard, the protestors. But if you are only asking for non-violence from the protestors and are ok with violence on the part of the state, then it isn’t non-violence you really want. It is obedience. When faced with murder, brutality, and systemic and institutionalized disregard for human life, when justice has been perpetually and flagrantly denied, disobedience in all its forms becomes a necessary response and a first step towards reclaiming dignity.”]
