This violence has evolved into a separate issue from the murder of George Floyd. We must not let a small group of people in various cities destroy our communities and country.

They are getting people against their cause! This is ing sad because this was the chance we had to get the general public on the side of Black Lives Matter.

As someone watching overseas, all people talk about America at the moment is how ed it is. My parents last night watching the news told me they would never let me visit America as a tourist. This was not the case 10 years ago.

Joe Biden will double down on it and cherry pick an African American woman to run with him, further alienating his potential for growth among the "Karen" white voter in the Suburbs.

Exactly.
The last thing we need is BLM, regardless of the truth of the matter, being tarred like this. Which, coincedentally, is exactly what those who oppose police accountability want.

Thus far, Minneapolis is pretty quiet.

CNN headquarters in Atlanta have been overrun (same building as a police station). Protestors being beaten violently in Brooklyn. Precinct in Brooklyn possibly was taken over. Protestors being driven over by cars in Bakersfield.

Louisville police firing at the press:



The response by the cops has only made these situations worse.

The officers will be in jail for a long long time hopefully. Potentially the rest of their lives.

Here is hoping that anyone who incites riots or commits major property destruction or engages in violence will also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

My home town of Ferguson will never be the same due to the Michael Brown saga.

If a mob of angry people swarmed my car and started climbing on it, pulling on the door, or pounding on the window, than you can be damn well be sure I'd hit the gas pedal too. This was an aggressive attack on a driver who was not on a closed down street.

I'm not talking about a cop. This was a civilian in Las Angeles.

They are not "attacking."
Those are not "protesters."
As the police vehicles are driving by, it looks like these rioters are hitting the windows, trying to break them. This could be dangerous to anyone inside (would you like glass shattering pieces in your face/eyes?)
This looks to be a defensive move to keep these thugs at some distance from their vehicles.

That's a nicely convenient outcome for those opposed to BLM, isn't it?

You just posted cringe. You are going to lose delegate!

Seriously, though, I can't decide whether the cruelty or the stupidity is stronger in the post I'm quoting. There's no way to make a flamethrower brigade "ending it" look anything but evil, even to a fair proportion of the "thin blue line" crowd.

The most effective way to delegitimize a movement in this country is to make it look like a bunch of violent rebels. So absolutely.
