nonviolent

Calvin Morrill, a professor of law and sociology at UC Berkeley, said most modern protests are nonviolent and highly organized by activists, labor unions and community organizations.

Los Angeles police arrested at least 25 people Tuesday night amid a curfew downtown as faith leaders made calls for “nonviolent resistance.”

Shortly before the curfew took effect, Bass joined an array of faith leaders in Grand Park to call for stern,but “nonviolent,” resistance to President Trump’s immigration sweeps.

Bass and other elected officials in Los Angeles have repeatedly asked protesters to remain nonviolent and refrain from spray-painting graffiti or otherwise vandalizing or burglarizing businesses.

Local immigration advocates and community members, however, say that families have been torn apart and nonviolent immigrants detained.
