Report finds 93% of BLM protests are peaceful.

From how it's been reported, that's surprising.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Well, two things come to mind,
the first being the ugly specter
of bias in the reporting and the
second being that it as at least
7%.

Now it might be helpful to ask
how many people are sympathetic
to the violence, because these people
do chant mantras along the lines of
"What do we want?
Dead Police..."

And, furthermore, in the discussion
of who is sympathetic to the protestors
that we begin at the top and the leaders
who allow the violence to continue and
cause great harm to the local infrastructure
and economy. Now, what is their motivation?

7 out of 100 are not peaceful

The hired commie thugs that are doing most of the damage are a minority woven into the mix. They are just using black people as a crowd to mingle with and hide out in while they try to tear the country down. But none of the reports are reliable because the come from fake news. Either way, in a large crowd 7 out of 100 can do a lot of damage.

 

[dolf]

"hired commie thugs"!!! I've decided you're a parody alt because, outside of mccarthy era public information films, nobody actually speaks like this.

 

[renard_ruse]

The is nothing to "protest" in the first place. Its inherently a racist group that perpetuates a bizarre lie in order to justify extreme hatred toward white people and law enforcement.

The "protests" are primarily designed to intimidate the public and show who is really in control of the streets, black racist extremists and radical white liberal weirdos working for wealthy billionaires. I think the word for that is, um, terrorism?

 

[bellisarius]

That is SOOOO comforting to know. I mean if it only takes 7% to cause a few billion dollars in damages and a hundred or so lives (so far), one can only imagine what 14% could do.

 

[SpeareChucker]

7% can fulminate a lot of hate,
I'd still have to say that number
is on the very low side, one might
even be tempted to say sympathetic...


Where are the interventions by the 93%?

The 7% have cost billions in damages and lost value.

Arson where there are people inside should be a capital offense.

BLM was founded by Two Communists.

Yeah, many wouldn't think this based on the visual reporting so what actually is happening?

Media often presents the shocking for viewer or readership numbers. It just is very boring to report on the vast majority of protests being peaceful. The vast majority have been peaceful and this is what good reporting is supposed to do... present facts no matter what.

People(individuals) are susceptible to inflammatory images and will project their world view onto it...hence many here who see videos of looting and violence and conclude all protest are that. It doesn't matter what your affiliations are...it's human nature to be easily manipulated and it takes training(higher education) to understand what is what in this world.

The Media, Politicians, all are trained at manipulation. Well, the Media calls it persuasion.

Parameters? Do Black Men Killed by police compared to Black interactions with Police.

From how it's been reported, that's surprising.

The corollary is that it's probably the same percentages when it comes to "good cops/bad cops".

Yet, somehow that same 7% equate to SYSTEMIC racism while the 7% of violent protesters are "outliers".

 

[Dribble]

And it would be 100% except when the right wing decides to police these protests.

Let us look at who on Lit touts violence as the first option. Let us look at the President who does the same. These are undeniable facts.

The Rochester NY police literally triggered their own riot escalation two nights ago. They wanted so badly to emulate their blue asshole brethren in nearby Buffalo, so they asphyxiated a mentally ill man in the middle of the street and dared the populace to "come at me, bro".

Naturally the people responded. It seems that the general public is increasingly resistant to the idea of cops acting as judge, jury and executioner.

So people are loud and outside, and the cops want to spill civilian blood. Two inexperienced officer decide to open up on a car full of protesters. Unfortunately for the officers, they were inexperienced with the use of rubber bullets. Specifically, they got way too close to their target before firing. Rubber bullets aren't like regular bullets against cars. The cops fired at near-point blank range, less than 10 feet away from the car....the rubber bullets bounced off the car, ricocheted back and struck both officers, causing self-inflicted soft-tissue damage.

Damage control protocol kicked in. "They're throwing, uh, ROCKS at us! Officers down! Release hell" Even though it was caught on camera.


Just another night in Trump's Murica.

Blue lives don't matter, because there is no such thing as a 'blue life'. It's a fucking blue shirt.

^ This is so incredibly stupid. If the rioters are against the cops, WHY THE FUCK did they assault and harass restaurant patrons who aren't involved at all?


The amount of stupid you display on a daily basis is incredible.

99% of muslims are peaceful yet a handful of muslim terrorists turned the world upside down for over a decade.

Report finds 93% of BLM protests are peaceful.

While I completely support the sentiment that "Black Lives Matter" and sympathize with the goals of most of the peaceful protesters, 7% of such protests becoming riots is simply unacceptable, and the BLM organization holds much of the blame for that violence.

Speaking of the BLM organization, it has received hundreds of million of dollars in donations and contributions from a broad variety of sources. Where has all that money gone?

Speakin' of stupidity on display, why not regale us once more about your novel First Amendment interpretation. You know the one where you morphed "Government shall not infringe on free speech" into "Government and private corporations shall not infringe on free Conservative speech".


.....or will you attempt a pivot to Second Amendment rights again today???

Give it up rubbery, you got nothin' and trying to make nothing into something will only get you confused again.

Cops are using specious "failure to obey" arrests in an attempt to inflict fiscal pain on lower income people (A $2500 bond requires a $250 bail bond fee, which most poor people don't have). Donors are posting the entire bond amount on behalf of the arrested people, and the overwhelming majority of those cases eventually get dismissed in court.


....and cops are deprived of one of their most potent weapons to keep #ThosePeople docile.

This is all you needed to say in order to communicate your true feelings.

7% is a LOT.

Imagine if 7% of all NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL games had shootings, looting and burnings.

I guess they'd have to change the name to British Soccer.

It's hundreds of million of dollars. True, lawyers are expensive, but the worst a peaceful protester might get is a civil citation for things like blocking a street or holding a public gathering without a permit.

"Legal defense" only becomes expensive if a person is charged with a crime.

So, unless the BLM organization is actually supporting violence, why are they paying for the "legal defense" of felonious rioters and looters?
