11. I disagree completely. Here are some classic protests:

Dorr "Rebellion" 1841
New York Draft Riots 1863
Haymarkey Square Chicago 1886
Pullman Strike Chicago 1894
Ludlow 1914
Washington DC 1932 (Bonus Army)
Washington DC 1963 (MLK)
Kent State 1970
Seattle 1999

This is only a partial list. The history of the US is replete with protests (some peaceful, others not) and strikes, sit-ins, riots, etc. Most have been meet with Government Power and mass arrests/beatings/killings...
