I was so moved by the statement by

Jacob Blake's sister the other day. The emotion and pain she expressed was heartbreaking. She spoke calmly, clearly and forcibly. A very intelligent and commanding woman. She and the family asked for the violence and destruction to end. The protests need to continue but if they need to separate themselves from the for lack of a better word, troublemakers. I don't know why they feel the need to engage counter protesters who are obviously looking to instigate confrontation. Can we listen to the families of the victims who have called for peace and stop playing into trump and his goons hands. Unless your aim is getting trump re-elected you aren't helping. Let's stop the violence and get back to the message of Black lives Matter and police corruption reform.

The RW infiltrators pretending to the antifa need to be outted for the liars and cons they are. Wouldn't be surprised if some RW ass is paying them to do this.
