Let me repeat this for those inventing the idea of “Black Lives Matter riots.” BLM doesn’t “riot.” They march against police violence. And note that those caught setting fires, assaulting and shooting people are consistently of the RIGHT, not the left. https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/riot-data-court-documents-describe-assaults-spd-officers-listing-suspects-by-race-hometown/UMJWXPDGRVFGNKBNUDGSIAPJQM/">https://www.kiro7.com/news/loca...

According to a June estimate by the Washington Post& #39;s factchecker, of the approximate 14,000 arrests in 49 cities since the protests began in late May, “most involved locals charged with low-level offenses such as violating curfew or blocking a roadway.” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-28/antifa-boogaloo-extremists-at-us-floyd-protests/12388260">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020...
So let’s stop giving in to the narrative Trump and his allies are inventing to try and help him cling to power. Autocrats always eventually get to this place: accusing the opposition of being anarchic and violent to cover up their own rot and violence.
You are MUCH more at risk from unmasked Trump cultists coming home to your suburb from a superspreader rally and coughing or sneezing on you in Walmart or touching the door handle after wiping their nose than you are from a Black Lives Matter rally.
Adding one more: again—setting fire to police cars — yes — Black Lives Matter — no: https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/police-arrest-tacoma-woman-accused-setting-five-patrol-cars-fire-during-seattle-protest/RXCU2LUR2NG77CEFKTLLIY5M6I/">https://www.kiro7.com/news/loca...
