Same was said about most historical large scale protest movements.

Some politicians and the media who feed them or off them, reenforce this narrative.

The number of people engaging in violence, property destruction and looting is a tiny fraction of the total population.

That so-called tiny fraction is responsible for billions in damage, murdered people and injured people. It happens often enough that no sane person considers it anything but part of the plan.

The PROUD BOYS strike again! You're absolutely delusional.
Actually it was just 'umbrella man', and he was pretending to be multiple people.

They do have non-white members, black and Latino. No females though no matter what color.

My favorite part of those Instagram posts is the tag: BLMCHI in the bottom right hand corner. You know, Black Lives Matter Chicago.
You're trying to talk sense to someone who denies news reports - the same way the other loony liberals here do.

It's really tough to see who is telling the truth here. Let's see....posters who always post proof of what they're posting vs people who have emotional meltdowns and cry 'liar, liar pants on fire' with nothing to back up what they're saying.

We don't have police here. (And somehow, amazingly, we survive.) I guess I could travel to Anchorage or Fairbanks and beat one up as an experiment?

There's a fish and game guy stationed nearby - I guess that's technically law enforcement. If I punched him, he'd probably laugh...if I punched a caribou he'd be pissed.

I’m going to guess that the interior of Alaska (beautiful state!) does not share the same uh, demographics inner city Chicago does.

Of course not, but there's a big difference between someone randomly going up and whacking a police officer who's just standing there upside the head with a skateboard, versus, say, whacking a police officer who's putting the boot in. I know we're apparently just supposed to lie down and take any excessive force that police apply, but personally I can't guarantee I'd be able to behave passively if a cop started roughing up me or someone I cared for.

That's true. I believe rural/bush Alaska has a lower percentage of white people than Chicago does.

You've gone from hard to take seriously to impossible to take seriously.
