Perhaps no figure from Chinese history is better known than Confucius, and his teachings inspired a religious and philosophical tradition that has gone onto influence the very fabric of everyday life in China. There’s no better place to witness and appreciate the immense significance of Confucius’s legacy than his hometown of Qufu, a small city in the eastern province of Shandong. CBS Chicago journalist Marissa Parra said an officer used a baton to swat her phoneout of her hand while she was reporting on the scene. WBEZ journalist Linda Lutton said her two daughters were pepper sprayedand had their bike, roller skates and bags taken by officers. I don’t really intervene in criminal matters like that – that’s not for me to go and be a cheerleader to the police in any criminal investigations.” During GoodKids MadCity’s press conference, Boyd’s attorney, Sheila Bedi, said Boyd was a peaceful protester exercising her First Amendment rights when an officer slapped her so hard her tooth came out. Katy Watts, Liberty’s lawyer, said the judgment “takes away vital protections that empower everyone to be able to stand up for what they believe in … By placing weight on the value of an object in deciding if human rights can be taken into account, we feel that the court is shifting the balance too far away from our essential human rights.”

She added: “The positive impact of the toppling – for both Bristol and the anti-racism movement as a whole – can never be undone, and this judgment cannot overturn the decision made by a jury of our peers.” Tom Wainwright, from Garden Court chambers, who represented one of the Colston defendants, said the impact of the decision was unclear “because it’s difficult to tell what a court will decide is significant and insignificant damage and what they will interpret as violent in the context of damage to property”. Video Shows Coordinated ‘Ambush’ On Police At Columbus Statue With ‘Vigilantes’ Throwing Bottles, Fireworks, Sharpened PVC, Officials Say Close Arriving at the court on the morning of 25 January, Richardson, a gardener, wrote “Support the Colston 4” outside its entrance in water-soluble chalk. When Martin, an artist and writer, arrived shortly after she wrote: “Let justice prevail.” Both were arrested for criminal damage and breach of Covid regulations as they complied with instructions to leave the area.The Jizo Bodhisattva, “ O-Jizo-san” in the Japanese honorific language, is a deity fondly loved by Japanese people. You will find Jizo statues in many places: in Buddhist temples, graveyards, at the side of the road in the countryside, and, less commonly, at the corner of some streets in the cities. The Hungarian Revolution began with students, who mounted a peaceful demonstration against the Soviet regime in Budapest on October 23, 1956. Unrest had been brewing for some time, evidenced by the 200,000 people who turned out to call for an independent Hungary. They dismantled communist icons and flags throughout town. Many of the activists were just teenagers, including Péter Mansfeld, then just 16 years old. Downing Street earlier condemned the toppling of slave trader Edward Colston's statue in Bristol as a "criminal act", after the city's mayor said he felt no "sense of loss" over the monument's disposal. In a written judgment published on Tuesday, the lord chief justice, Lord Burnett of Maldon, said: “We have concluded that prosecution and conviction for causing significant damage to property during protest would fall outside the protection of the convention, either because the conduct in question was violent or not peaceful, alternatively (even if theoretically peaceful) prosecution and conviction would clearly be proportionate.”

Lightfoot, speaking during a groundbreaking for a Far South Side restaurant, said the video showed “vigilantes, people who came for a fight.” Home Secretary Priti Patel, in the Commons, said: "We strongly support the right to protest peacefully but that does not extend to the violent behaviour we have witnessed." Protests must be done safely and peacefully but I think it’s really important that leaders right now recognise that they’ve got a responsibility to try and heal divisions, to try and unite communities.Gus Silverman, a civil liberties lawyer at the law firm Irwin Mitchell, who represented Larsen and Dye, suggested the outcome of the case could lead to further actions against police. He said: “Recent demonstrations have seen force used against protesters by police, whether at the vigil for Sarah Everard or at the more recent protests in Bristol. If officers at those demonstrations believed that all protests were banned under coronavirus regulations then it is now clear that they were wrong.” We’ll have to change the way we deploy our resources, how we’re trained, the expectations of First Amendment protests have to include” this level of violence, Brown said. But he added: “You can’t, in 21st century Britain, have a slaver on a statue – a statue is there to honour people." Downing Street said people can campaign for statues to be removed, "but what happened yesterday was a criminal act and when the criminal law is broken that is unacceptable and the police will want to hold to account those responsible",

Mr Johnson tweeted that "people have a right to protest" but turning to violence was "a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve." Lightfoot said Chicago has a long history of peaceful protest, and people should follow that tradition and try to build bridges with others. While welcoming that caveat, the UK human rights organisation Liberty, which intervened in the court of appeal case, and lawyers who defended the Colston four at trial, expressed disappointment with the overall ruling. What appears to be a piece of expressionist art—a man falling headfirst towards the pavement—is actually a memorial for a Hungarian revolutionary, Péter Mansfeld, who was martyred for the cause in 1959.But Taylore Norwood, an organizer with GoodKids MadCity, said the anti-violence group was not involved in violent acts against police and didn’t know of the planned violence ahead of time. Policing minister Kit Malthouse flatly described the toppling of the statue as "a crime" and warned prosecutions may follow. A range of defences were used in the case. The court of appeal was asked to consider one that argued that a conviction for damage to the statue would have been a disproportionate interference with the defendants’ right to protest under the European convention of human rights. A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said its officers honestly believed that all four had been committing an offence under coronavirus regulations. “However, we now accept we misinterpreted the regulations and that the arrests and the issuing of FPNs were unlawful,” the force said. Responding to the ruling, Rhian Graham, one of the four defendants, said pulling down the Colston statue “was not a violent act.
