Quick rundown:

The theme of this thread is:
>Is violence, in the hands of the people, justifiable?
>Do you believe anarchy and burning shit is a valid way to overthrow a government?
I see a lot of people saying it's non-justifiable and that protesting shouldn't be this violent. I honestly believe it's the only way to put any real pressure on the state. What do you believe, /pol/?

I forgot to say: the dude in the IG videos was on the helicopter. He's actually CICPC officer, kind of famous for collaborating in a film a couple years ago. His name is Oscar PĂ©rez. He posted the Instagram video before all of this happened.
