Freedom of Expression essay

        Freedom of Expression is a big issue especially since the election finished and   Trump won, many protested and police abused protesters when most protesters don't do any harm and this is happening constantly. Which needs to stop if we can cause harm and be harmful to someone we can learn how to unharm. Freedom of speech is constantly abused by police, U.S. Citizens and parents.

                Recently, protesters have been getting badly injured for protesting what they believe is wrong. According to the article, South Dakota people are still protesting since April and it's still going on. Ways that protesters are getting hurt in the South Dakota is some people are bringing their trucks and running over them.The protesters are there to stand what they believe in. Evidence that proves this is that on April 28, 2016 in Costa Mesa, California. A Trump supporter was bloodied, presumably by anti-Trump protesters, during a chaotic scene outside one of the candidate's rallies.

 According to the article, that shows freedom of expression is that demonstrators at the Dakota Access pipeline were shot at with beanbag bag rounds, hit with pepper spray and taken into custody of the police. Also, Police sprayed protesters with water cannons in freezing weather after they tried to dismantle a barricade near the Dakota Access Pipeline construction site. Protest leaders called the move "life-threatening,” but officers say the protesters were being aggressive. These are pieces of evidence that shows that people are being threatened for what they believe in, and this is not acceptable.

          America has increased a huge amount of violence , fatal shootings by police are up in the first half of 2016, as compared to the same time last year, officer shootings have also been on the rise over the past year, many different kinds of violence has also increased for what people believe in. What is most alarming is that these violent acts are not only occurring on the streets, but in the school systems as well. School should be a place where children have fun and learn new things, but violence affects everyone and changes some people.
  People are getting hurt everyday for what they think and nothing is stopping this. Their is many more protest that are happening than just the pipeline and trump rally, this is happening at ever protest where most of them don't cause harm but people who are against protesters cause harm. This also causes more violence because kids are able to see what is happening and the kids are going to act like that when they are grown up also, kids might think that hurting or harming someone is okay.
