I was offended and appalled by all of the destruction of small businesses in many of our cities. People are fed up with the police brutality that never ends. I am pro-police, against 'defunding,' but I want our police departments to be reformed.
But of course the rightwing uses a broad brush and smears all liberals as being pro-riots and pro-looting. It's how they roll.
You blamed most of the rioting on right wingers like the Proud Boys, Boogaloo Boys, you blamed Trump, etc. You said you were against rioting but didn't really indict BLM, as far as I can recall.
Are you admitting you know BLM was behind most of the problems we've had since George Floyd was murdered?
If you want the protests to stop, then cops need to stop killing black people. It's not that hard.
oh, and looters are not "left wingers." Looters are scum who take advantage of civil unrest to go steal stuff. They don't care about politics.
They're not killing black people! Would you please stop perpetuating that lie?
Look at the damage that has been done to dozens of cities throughout this country based on a falsehood! In all of 2019, there were nine (9!!) unarmed black men killed out of tens of millions of police encounters. More black people are killed in a single weekend, in Chicago - and children too - and by other blacks. But those lives don't matter, apparently.

You don’t want BLM Logos defaced? Stop shutting down highways and stores, stop defacing monuments and tearing down statues and stop creating and trying to create “autonomous zones” (aka anarchy zones). It’s not that hard.
All things considered, the response has been extremely restrained. You should be thankful.

Do you really believe that the protests and riots have been about just the police and that if police officers "stop killing black people", then all of the protests and riots will just end? Please tell me that you aren't that delusional and that you realize that this is much more about pushing a political ideology than just about police rerform.
So on one hand, we have the radical left toppling over a George Washington statue, yet they're upset they someone defaced the street logo of a racist hate group?

Oh now how you pick and chose which brush to paint with? No they travel in company with your BLM protestors. I have yet to see video of said protestors trying to stop their supporters from looting and rioting.
I have no issue with peaceful protests. The fact is that far far too many BLM protests turn into an excuse to destroy and attack innocent bystanders.
You called out an alleged Trump supporter, as if she might be representative of all Trump supporters.
How many Pro-Trump protests have turned into to an excuse to burn a city and loot?
I keep hearing about how pro Trumpers are Trashy people but I am not seeing the looting and rioting on anywhere near the same scale as we see with the BLM and Antifa crowds.
Cops killing blacks. It has been demonstrated, proven and argued at length that far more whites are killed by cops than blacks.
I agree that there are far too many cop related killings, and excesses. I am for a Federal agency being tasked with investigating every single cop related killing as well as injury while in custody.
Agreed. The left started this with their lunacy and expected everyone else to just sit at home and accept it while they were burning, looting and destroying but want to go agep**** over painting over some letters on a single street.
Defacing and tearing down white people stuff is one thing but don't you dare damage some black political VIPs stuff .

No, not at all. I have never seen any evidence that BLM itself had anything to do with property destruction, violence or looting. The consistent pattern has been for BLM to conduct a peaceful march and then non-BLM agitators show up and cause the problems.
Quite frankly, even the majority of the protests in cities that have been peaceful haven't actually been lawful. The lawful way to do a protest is to file a permit ahead of time with the city and get it approved. That permit would:
1. List the date, start time and end time of the march/protest.
2. List the exact location or route for the march/protest.
3. Allows law enforcement time to plan any staffing needs, to block off any needed streets/intersections ahead of time and to provide an escort to the marchers/protesters so that everyone involved can be safe.
Those things haven't seemed to have happened with BLM protests. BLM seems to have a problem when it comes to having lawful, permitted protests.

BS. Peaceful protests don’t block roads, freeways and close down private businesses by blocking them, deface monuments and tear down statues. Your Marxist buddies are criminals.
