Fuck! This has been on my mind all day, is it spelled protestors, or protesters?
Or is it a case of different for each case? Protesters (pro-testers) are treated like crash test dummies by the cops, while protestors (pro-testors) have a touch of the ecclesiastical, giving sermons from on high.
You made me do homework. Apparently ‘or’ is the newer American English version. So we should be using ‘er’ like the prim and proper loyal subjects of the British Empire that we are.
You’re still awake!? I thought you’d have called it after the ‘analogous’ fiasco. :p
That’s interesting, i’d’ve thought it would be the other round. ‘er’ seems more basic than ‘or’ gets the brits are the basic bitches this time. Oh how the turns have tabled.

But wait, the guy in the photo was a fraudster. Doesn’t this imply they’re right to arrest protestors?

Yes. This meme is 100% analogous to the events that occurred on Monday. So they were right to arrest protestors. /s
p.s. I am not sure I have used the word analogous correctly, or used the correct word. It is late, I am tired.and too lazy to look into it.

He was apparently innocent in this case

I doublechecked wikipedia before posting and the conclusion is that he was indeed doing credit card fraud. The claim that he was a well-known dine and dasher was the thing that got refuted
