19 dead in 2 weeks, without any aggression even close to what happened yesterday. It's obvious that the death toll would be higher if BLM protestors were as aggressive as the Trump protestors yesterday.
>Including the violence by civilians (whether we call them protestors or not), the leftist protests did lead to a lot more bloodshed. I misunderstood and thought you were talking solely about the police.
I was. Most of the victims during the protests were black. You cherry picked quotes from the article to support your views.
The reality is that a peaceful BLM protest was dispersed with greater violence so that the president can pose across the street with a bible, than a mob attacking and storming the Capitol.
Or a blm protestor attacking a citizen trying to protect their livelihood. But most people will probably turn a blind eye because it doesn't fit the narrative (blm riots = peaceful protests, capitol riots = domestic terrorism)
Makes me chuckle that the result of this + the deplatforming of most of the opposition will only result in even more extremism and separation in the US.
The level of violence at blm protests were a lot higher for a lot longer in a lot more places. The age groups were opposite. The weapons usage by protestors were much higher and the trepassing on private property didn't exist here. Besides by nightfall the protest was done blm protests turned violent at night.
