In reply to the discussion: I would like the DU experts to explain to me how protesting over the [View all]TigressDem
(5,126 posts)That behavior was violent. Someone died in the pawn shop that burned down. Someone was shot. There are videos of the rioters and while they weren't killing cops they were violent enough in the night time protests.
Shootings in Minneapolis have gone off the charts, There were almost 50 people arrested for strings of violent carjackings.
Is it BLM's fault? I know they don't promote it but I was at ground Zero and they were saying if you do stuff like that, don't get caught, it reflects badly on us.
I would have liked a stronger rebuke.
That is all I am asking. There IS proof that people protesting in BLM's name during night time riots got violent. Some are proven plants and a most of the violence toward people was NOT anyone on the BLM side.
BUT I've been living in a war zone and it looked pretty damn violent to me.
I still support BLM. I would simply like their message against violence being done in their name to be crystal clear.
