Worth noting is the fact that the government is charging protestors and dissenters under sedition and UAPA [0].

> In July 2019,the ambit of UAPA was expanded. It was amended allowing the government to designate an individual as a terrorist without trial.

IMO, UAPA and similar laws should be repealed and never be allowed to be enacted again.

> In America we are seeing rioters constantly classified by the media as protestors.

Could you show me some instances of this? I've heard this repeated but I haven't actually seen it myself.

I'm not saying there weren't riots/rioters/looters.

But you said that the media was misrepresenting cases of this as peaceful protests and I said I haven't seen anything like that.

The links you posted are mostly them being called rioters (and one super-cut of something that's not a protest or a riot).
