In Atlanta, the George Floyd demonstrators are being prosecuted as gang members. The activists of today could be next.
A great writeup on Atlanta’s Cop City protests, and the political establishment’s wider response to protests in a post-BLM world (hint: it’s not to listen to protestors’ concerns).

That also sounds like a great way to strip police and politicians of all soft power over time.
Do they realize that there are harder but astronomically better ways to manage a protesting public?
Well, “dissent must never lead to disorder” is the extent of free speech they, as our betters, will allow us peasants. Soft power is less effective as they further diverge from the populace in their views, and this hints at the road they’re choosing to take.
They are building a foundation (both infrastructural and legal) for the future they envision, make no mistake.
