No one is saying it does... its difficult to separate out the protesters vs the opportunists taking advantage of the situation.
If BLM cared, they would be advocating peace, and telling all those who are there as people who just want to destroy property to leave.
BLM have a lot of extremists who have infiltrated the group who consist of terrorists, from other countries, who want our country to collapse.
If BLM they would be advocating good will and peace, and they'd be marching against all the Black on Black crimes in the cities, all the shootings etc.....that would bring about big change, not throwing crap at cops, b/c they want to take down a stupid statue? Be real....
BLM is a group of criminals, who believe in breaking laws, who defend criminals....
The fact that there have been multiple people fired from their jobs for not supporting BLM might skew the answers a bit.
A relentless left wing intimidation campaign tends to do that.
This was already documented in the 2016 presidential election polls.
The spread is narrowing. I'm 6/6/2020 it was 53% support and 28% oppose and on 7/23/2020 it has shrunk to 50% support and 36% oppose. Keep up the riots.
A 3% drop is likely within the margin of error. The swing since the outdated (pre-protest) survey is an 18 point turnaround.
Regardless of what you’re trying to claim, there remains a significant majority of Americans support BLM. In fact, if you’ll look at this week’s poll, a mere 36% of Americans oppose a BLM. Wait a minute . . . that’s about the size of Trumps base! What a coincidence!!
Anyhow, I still doubt the OP has sufficient character to acknowledge that her claim is wrong. Bigly. 36 measly percent oppose BLM as recently as 2 days ago.

I surmise that MOST protests are handled in this manner around the country.
Its just those that want to proliferate a particular view and define in their own biases what BLM means, simply only reference what is on TV and what only backs their views... They always equate protesters with rioters to vilify them but when the tables are turned, they are sure to separate the criminal elements out as a separate isolated group.
Maybe you all should talk to the liberal media stations who support you and let them know that what they are doing is not showing the peaceful protests? This is working against BLM and liberals by only focusing on the huge protests that turn into riots. There is no reason why someone shouldn't be fearful after watching the media since they don't show these peaceful protests.
Your fight is not with the people on these boards who I guess have been hoodwinked in believing that all protests produce riots but your fight is with your own media.
BLM is a vile racist hustler organization that needs to be terminated. Black homicides are increasing all over the country since this “movement” has recently been on the rise.
Deaths, assaults, looting and rioting by plenty that support BLM. Support for them had been declining since people have become educated to this trash org and movement.
If they truly cared about black lives much less any lives they’d be in towns where a high rate of blacks are murdering blacks.
Those signs and protesters coming through towns where that doesn’t happen is a waste of time and an insult aside from all the destruction and lawlessness. F BLM. They are a deadly cancer. Marxist trash.
Well, you certainly have memorized the racist-in-chief's lies well enough. And you clearly are dutiful in your repetition of them. And your false claims, linking peaceful protests to violence and lawlessness, are as phony as the dictator-in-chief's excuse for his deployment of forces against those lawfully demonstrating. Your problem? The nation has seen this Goebbels technique before, and they are not buying it this time around.
BLM is not a violent Marxist movement and Operation Legend is not fighting crime. This is political theater produced for Don the Con's re-election. Protesters are not all criminals as you and Trump & Fox News claim.
Trump's private police are committing crimes, not fighting crime. These federal agents aka Trump's private police are not there to protect federal property. Trump applauded the Bundys who occupied and vandalized the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center for a month in response to the Hammonds being convicted of burning 139 acres of federal public land. Trump pardoned the Hammonds so he obviously is not concerned about federal public property.
Trump and Barr are proud to tear gas American citizens of color and those who stand with them. Proud to beat them all with sticks. Kidnap them in unmarked cars.
Trump's troops are committing more crimes than the protesters and this ugly, sham, law enforcement crackdown is just another diversionary game that he hopes will appease his base of useful idiots. Trump hopes that frightening his white base, by warning them of anarchy in Democratic cities with large minority populations, improves his prospects in the midst of a spiraling pandemic that he ignored and exacerbates.
Trump used a similar playbook days ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, sending 5,200 active-duty troops to the southern border and warning of “an invasion of our country,” meaning a caravan of migrants heading north from Central America. He seemed to forget about it right after Election Day, and the troops began withdrawing a few days later.
No matter how often you spew the propaganda, Leona, the United States' citizens aren't going to buy it this time. Americans know the Trump Administration is the vile racist hustler organization that needs to be terminated, not BLM.

And there have been people fired for supporting BLM. That’s the way the labor laws work in this country. You put your views out there and there may be repercussions. That’s everyone’s choice.

Honestly.. I don't see anything of the such... and I watch a variety of news sources.
I am intelligent to know that when a stranger kills another random victim that it doesn't mean all strangers are killers. When there are riots here and there that I'm not going to assume the entire BLM movement are comprised of rioters.
This is nothing new.... news has always latched on what is "interesting" of that hour. They don't report it... they aren't doing their job. They report it... viewership are making unfounded assumptions and conclusions.
What has changed is the intelligence of the viewership. That includes the POTUS who gets his news from social media apparently.

There have been firings based on either side.... not just for showing support for BLM but for MAGA or for LGBTQ etc...
It is your personal choice of risk as it is the personal choice of the employer...

I've said this in other threads...
The weakness of BLM is that they don't have a strong leadership with a single message.... no figure to lead them like MLK or similar.
But it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of protests in the name BLM doesn't end up in violence nor riots... but there are those that continue to push that message.
Need an example.. this-very-thread. OP started it on the false premise that data shows lack of support for BLM... when the truth is that the link had a filter to only include "white" people's data. Once you remove that filter to include all races, their data starts to show the opposite.. that the majority actually do support BLM... Do we honestly believe that majority are all rioters?
That in of itself is pretty shameful.
