catsdanxe··on ‘BlueLeaks’ Exposes Files from Hundreds of Police Departments
I wouldn't call them protestors. All the profiles I saw on there had an associated arrest/charge for violence or inciting a riot. Obviously I don't have the time to go through all 1000+ profiles.

All the information is public knowledge. You name, age, photo, and what you did in public is not a doxx. If their social security numbers, addresses, phonenumbers, or family members were listed it would be totally different.

If it was against people that weren't violent and didn't have convictions, I would feel different.
