Furthermore, last I checked, not every single BLM rally was violent, or riddled with vandalism, and BLM is a very large, broad movement, without a single definitive doctrine or leadership. There have been visible excesses, which reactionaries have latched onto to decry the whole movement, but I would hope that everybody else would be able to see past their outrage at those excesses, and not succumb to the temptation of unfarily generalize thousands, if not millions of people.
I dont, I don't think cops are inherently racist. I don't think BLM is a wide broadbased movement, I think they are a typical far left movement in the way they go about suppressing dissent.
If BLM for the most part was peaceful I would agree with you, but this is by no means a. Isolated incident. This action here is typical for the organization.
I don't think cops are inherently racist, nor do an awful lot of BLM activists. And no offense, but your description of the BLM movement reeks of conservative talking points. BLM is a broad, grassroots movement, and I fail to see how it qualifies as 'typical far left'. Maybe it's just me, but I generally associate the term 'far left' with actually radical ideas, like overthrowing the government, and maybe organized violence. Not thousands of people marching against police brutality and institutional racism, and a handful of people who associate themselves with this broad, relatively disorganized movement, being violent or disruptive.
