Reminder: Last summer's BLM protests were a response to murders of Black men & women by police

Friendly reminder that last summer's BLM protests, being presented here in this false equivalency, were a response to murders of Black men and women by police officers using excessive force.

it's not relevant. OK, I agree that violence at BLM protests was bad, point also being that 2 wrongs don't make a right. The argument, however, is ridiculous because there is no equivalence with an insurrection against our democracy.

Or cops themselves. None of the insurrectionists have been left wing. Many of the looters and violent people during BLM are RW.

It wasn't to overturn elections.

It was not about murdering cops, congress people or VPs.
