Mass arrests at DNC?

The organizer of the protest where 70+ got arrested said in the protest invitation that the protest is against the DNC. The person speaking to the crowd during the protest called on the crowd for them to "shut down the DNC." They are clearly making the protest now because of the DNC and to influence the DNC on the topic of the war in Gaza. The proximity to the actual DNC doesn't matter as long as it's in Chicago. In 1968, the main anti-DNC prostests took place in Lincoln and Grant Parks, 6 and 4 miles away from the International Amphitheater where the DNC was held. The Tuesday protestors chose the Israeli consulate because they're protesting against Israeli actions, and Biden's support for them, trying to influence the DNC. Protests can have multiple aims at the same time, there's nothing unusual in that. The important part was that the Tuesday protest was also against DNC and was happening because of the DNC. We are yet to see if the arrests were in fact arrests and not detentions, but at least the lawyers representing the people claim so. To claim that the arrests are not in connection of protesting the DNC is a manipulation, and we can meet at UMA voting if someone believes otherwise. I'm happy to cash in $750 for your bond.
