re: Harvard research group: Black Lives Matter Protesters Were Overwhelmingly Peaceful

quote:

---

Protesters or bystanders were reported injured in 1.6 percent of the protests. In total, at least three Black Lives Matter protesters and one other person were killed while protesting in Omaha, Austin and Kenosha, Wis. One anti-fascist protester killed a far-right group member during a confrontation in Portland, Ore.; law enforcement killed the alleged assailant several days later.

Holy frick...parse this a bit.

Aside from mentioning Kenosha which may be Rittenhouse, they list that scumbag in Portland who walked up and assassinated a Trump guy and called it a "confrontation."

They must have been the darkest skinned white supremicists I’ve ever seen.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many in this country have lost faith in elite institutions ...

According my research, 97.7% of LEOs are decent human beings who do their jobs well, yet BLM doesn’t want to hear about or acknowledge that when they call for LEOs to fry like pigs in a blanket.

frick BLM, and frick Harvard for its BLM reach around.

They seem to have left out quite a few deaths and instances of firing bombing.

My bad one of the lawyers went to Princeton, not Harvard.

Can’t believe insurance companies paid over a billion dollars in damages over peaceful protests.

Harvard is the same university that essentially took cheap bribes from the sugar industry to blame all of our health problems on fat

Harvard is an untrustworthy shill university

When there was violence, very often police or counterprotesters were reportedly directing it at the protesters.

Yeah, those police are all about burning down businesses and taking over police stations.

Ok I'll freely admit I didn't follow what happened in every city they "protested" in.

I can, however, tell you what I saw live on OKC and Tulsa news channels...

During daylight, it was like anywhere else. Loud and vulgar but mostly not physically violent. Cops kneeled in front of them "in solidarity" and it would appease them, until the obvious paid actors would come in, on cue like clockwork, screaming "That's not enough! Y'all motherfrickers owe us for 300 years! We want blood!", and it would get the crowd all whipped up. Then, after dark, they'd start setting shite on fire and advancing on police lines and throwing shite at them, resulting in tear gas, concussion grenades and rubber bullets.

It was a tale of two "protests". It could be argued that the day shift was actually mostly peaceful, because by definition it was. But the night shift was animalistic, violent, belligerent and completely out of control.

So, no. 50/50 non-violent/violent at absolute best.
