    This is legitimately dangerous though. Now big oil can just hire an actor to throw a rock and a climate protest can be shut down. Not to mention police protests are pretty much illegal now.

      They would never do that. They’ve done it all the time before, but surely they’ve learned their lesson.

        The stakes are much higher now. It used to amount to a handful of arrests. Now the entire protest can be shut down and charged.
