ORGANIZATIONS AFFILIATED WITH law enforcement constitute the most significant lobbying force fueling the unprecedented number of anti-protest bills introduced by state lawmakers this year, according to an independent researcher.
Law enforcement groups did support many of the efforts, though. Such organizations donated $342,602 in the 2019-2020 election cycle to sponsors of anti-protest bills in 2021. The vast majority of those on the list are police and correctional unions. The Southern States Police Benevolent Association and Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York were the top two law enforcement donors to anti-protest bill sponsors, contributing $39,300 and $38,350 respectively. Neither group responded to a request for comment. Also included were a handful of campaign funds for sheriff’s office candidates.

That makes perfect sense, since the protests require so much police time to minimize the vandalism and property damage, and monitoring the conflicts with anti-protesters, instead of being able to do their normal work.

Can you show where this is to stop all peaceful protesting?
Sounds like it's to stop unpeaceful protesting. And, to hold the unpeaceful protesters responsible for the crimes they may have committed during their unpeaceful protesting.
If the new laws allow group punishment for a individuals actions then its designed to take our freedoms.
If the new laws punish a individual for their actions, and the punishment is not too extreme? Then its probably a law to stop people from committing crimes.
Most of these new laws the GOP is pushing are not in the latter category.
