Coal rolled at the 'No Kings' protest

I have been coal rolled multiple times while peacefully protesting America's turn toward Trump-led fascism.
Once a highway patrolman rolled by giving demonstrators the middle finger. The sheriff's office was contacted. Nothing happened.
At the June 14 peaceful demonstration -- with really helpful armed militia on hand to keep everybody safe -- we were coal rolled again. This time a sheriff's deputy pulled the guy over, so I went down to listen in.
The cop lamely went through the motions, saying "Everybody has a right to protest" again and again and the two occupants went through the same motions: "We apologize" over and over and over again. 
But it was quite clear who the cop sympathized with and not even a citation was issued, much less an assault charge. Imagine if a MAGA demonstration was coal rolled.

On the same day, Democratic lawmakers and their spouses were gunned down by MAGA. 

You gotta get out and vote while you still can, people; no one is coming to save us.
