I'm not capable of violence myself so I won't pretend to support it. That being said, there is a whole process of dilution of responsibilities to make unacceptable decisions happen, if everyone plays nice and by the rules, nothing will happen. Past struggles have never been overcome peacefully.
My intention was that attacking the people doing to work of putting up the cameras is not moral.
Destroying the cameras and resisting the police is, IMO, moral. Escalating action against the people sufficiently high up the hierarchy of the system that they're making executive decisions? Also moral.
I personally vote for being polite and cordial. Patiently wait for them to finish, then swat the camera right back down with a baseball bat.
Smile, then offer them the baseball bat and invite them to take a swing.
I'm picturing someone standing down the street, watching the camera being installed, tubing cutter or sawzall in hand...
That works
