You do know that Gandhi and MLK peacefully broke the law? They were right to do so, they were injust laws, but they still broke them.
But as you seem to think that the protestors should act more like Gandhi, then maybe looking at the Salt March is a good idea. What would happen if communities, maybe even entire cities stopped paying tax until the police are defunded and the government monopoly on violence is broken?
I also notice that whenever Gandhi and MLK are brought up in these discussions, no one ever mentions Leo Tolstoy (yes, the War and Peace author), who wrote the book on peaceful resistance.
