Ukraine has recently passed an anti-protest law however protest are still active with police brutality and government intimidation. The people of Ukraine started protesting in November, the reason being they were upset over an agreement with the European Union not being signed. The average protester is middle aged and somehow active in the civil position and they wont stop until there is democracy among Ukraine.

Question: Do you agree with the protesters and their reasons for protesting? Do you think violence is helping or hurting their argument?
I agree with the protesters reasons because they are fighting for what they believe in. I think violence in general when protesting hurts their argument because it will make it harder to compromise with the government.
I agree with the protesters and their reasons for protesting, because they are trying to earn their freedom and everyone wants that, i do not think the violence is helping them though.
I think if protesting is a problem, the government, police, and the protesters shouldn't use violence to solve their problems. If the government doesn't want the people protesting, they should try to make a way that works for everyone. If that's not possible, then the people who aren't happy and protest should learn to deal with it.
i agree 100% with the protestors and their reasoning behing the protest, but just like everyone is saying, the police brutality and the protestors brutality wont help much
I agree with the protesters and their reasoning. They just want to live in a lawful state with a honest government and have police that protect its citizens. Its a noble cause they should keep fighting. Violence may not help them but it does get their struggle publicity. sometimes peaceful protest is met with violent police force... sometimes you literally have to fight for your freedom.

I agree with the protesters because they are standing up for what they believe in. Their government is doing something that they don't like so they are advocating to change it.
