Protesting can result in a peaceful march, a sit-in, or it can take the form of a riot or even civil war. The thing is that it is pointless to protest nowadays if you do not get news coverage because no one will listen unless you can first get their attention. And the news is interested in reporting about violent situations more then they are in covering some peaceful event, which they would see as being uninteresting and not newsworthy, unless they got naked as a way to get attention. But toss a few rocks, and the news is there in mass. If the protest can get the police to club and abuse them, the press gets excited and shows that on TV, and sometimes the viewer can see the protest sign or get a few words in with some reporter. When the riot police move in to control a otherwise peaceful protest sometimes the portesters will fight back in defense. And so it looks like people are advocating violence.

That was somewhat precisely, my point. Sometimes you do have to be chivvy to get your message across. In the last line of my post, i was reffering to the "war on terror".
