Peaceful protests, sometimes... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for civil that I've seen before include "Nonviolent refusal to obey laws" , "Mannerly" , "Polite to the state" , "Polite and non-military" , "(Of law) non-criminal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
