You don't see an obvious glaring difference between the protestors of the 85006 (and elsewhere, too, to be fair) and elected officials? OK then, let me respectfully spell it out for you.

The protestors of the 85006 are protesting against conditions and a society in general that do not work for them - issues that to some degree elected officials are responsible for continuing/maintaining. There is a huge obvious difference here that I personally could see from the other side of the planet - it's that loud and obvious. Regardless, there's an explanation for you. Rob
