It genuinely depends on the situation. What is being protested and what is the physical harm that is being done.

😧I’m shocked by how many people are saying violent. You won’t get anyone on your side with violent protests, go to a counter protest by conservatives and they’d welcome you peacefully with open arms

Peaceful protests get you assassinated by the FBI, just ask MLK Jr

Violent has the highest potential (overthrowing the government) but generally peaceful is more effective

Violence (BUT targeted, unlike the LA riots which are being violent just to be violent) I’m sorry, but if you get a permit, you’re defeating the whole point of a protest…..

The issue is when peaceful protests interfere too much and the authorities get violent the protest will turn violent. One protest can be both
