The need to self defined one's self or group tend to give me pause and tweak my curiosity, more so if done on a public stage  such as this commentary sandbox. 

"We are not protesters,  we are protectors" why make that statement? What was the need that compelled Mr. Piazzon to make such a statement?

If you read that particular statement by itself more than once out loud. What does your minds eye perceive? Protesters?  Protectors? Or something else?
