It’s the MSM. Same as always. They want the exciting story, and people protesting peacefully ain’t it, so they focused on the 2% or so where shite went down. And even among that, it was primarily instigated by the police getting out of line.

When the Department of Homeland Security released its Homeland Threat Assessment earlier this month, it emphasized that self-proclaimed white supremacist groups are the most dangerous threat to U.S. security.

This is what caught my attention. It’s not “self-proclaimed” when someone else decides what you are.

K

Next time host their events on Harvard's property, and the personal property of those who created this "study".

If a man only beats the shite out of his wife for 10 seconds every day, he is overwhelming peaceful that day.

So they counted a 10 person BLM protest in BFE Georgia where no one paid attention as one of the peaceful protests.

Ok. I agree. That’s fine.

But now let’s break the protests done by city size.

I don’t think that will bode well for progstain led cities. So we better not do that.

So 97.7 percent non violent = peaceful but 99.7% survivable = OMG your going to die so mask up and close down!

n short, our data suggest that 96.3% of events involved no property damage or police injuries, and in 97.7% of events, no injuries were reported among participants, bystanders or police


Yet we know > $3,000,000,000 dollars was lost in this 3.7%.... yeah, I'd like some of what they're smoking.

I can’t wait until their “research” comes out on the peaceful/violent ratio for 1/6. Any day now…

It's a play on words. It's similar to the ole "world has 2 billion Muslims but only 1 million are violent".

If 20,000 people were at a BLM march it is probably true that only 4,000 of them were violent, rioting, looting fools. So in that context, they are probably right.

4.7% of 7305 is 343.

So there was property damage or police injuries in 343 different protests.

But peaceful.

They must have gotten all of their research material from the DNC and CNN.

police or counterprotesters were reportedly directing it at the protesters



And there's the twist. When you define anyone engaging in violence automatically as "counterprotestors" or conveniently blame police when it's HIGHLY doubtful you had enough evidence to draw a contextual timeline of events, you can basically conclude whatever you want. If they were violent, they were some other unnamed group of "counterprotestors". If the police responded with any forceful tactic, they were the cause of the violence they were responding to.

Pure propaganda garbage, but because it has the "Harvard" label, it's gospel.

They seem to have left off the assassination of David Dorn.

Maybe inflated the events to get the % down a bit?

These cünts really think we’re going to just take their word for it? The old “who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?” defense.
