Is this a serious question?

Do you believe armed protesters are easier or more difficult to suppress?

I don't think that question is as simple as you think. Peaceful protest is much more likely to garner public support, at least until things are critical. And taking weapons to a protest in the US seems like an almost guaranteed way to die, one way or another. Not saying the cops are well trained with weapons, but neither are the general public.

there is a point where peaceful protest is not enough, you realize that, right?
