What was
Yes there is literally tons of video evidence showing police doing exactly that
what were the BLM protests about again? i forget
Ok let me watch that video, I did not see that at all in the LA protests so we can say the LA riots were not the police’s fault
lmao imagine typing this
BLM protests that were mostly nonviolent till the cops showed up. I had several friend of friends who had to seek medical attention after getting roughed up. a couple of businesses were fucked with but nothing too bad besides maybe some old relic photo store burning down

Bro they literally had to raise the bridges to downtown in Chicago so it didn’t get looted
No they did that and other shit to curb protests entirely, lightfoot set up blockades everywhere and shit. it wasn't a good look for our city, her new role, was impeding commercial activity, etc

he’s literally parroting the right wing spin job hook line and sinker which is that the property damage is horrific and unforgivable barbarism but the excessive violence by police was all justified
even though the video evidence literally shows that police violence came before rioting in just about every case
also the looting meme is exaggerated to comedic proportions
The BLM protest in LA was a bunch of people marching down the street, when we got into a nice area people started breaking into stores and stealing shit and as the sun started going down mass looting and property damage started happening, not to mention I saw 3 police cars get lit on fire around me and other random property damage. When the police arrived protestors confronted them, got in their faces and started throwing shit at them
he really thinks his personal experience gives him the authority to describe the entire BLM movement in LA
I mean I was actually there, you live in Canada bro

That's fucked but atleast very different from what went down here. police incompetent and brutality is very well recognized around here to the point where most protesters know better than to pull illegal shit Infront of them. and like the locking on most downtown stores was solid, with many businesses even boarding up their glass ahead of time lol

I do think it's funny that the businesses that had the easiest time around here basically put a sign saying BoB and that was it
cool you saw 1% of it first hand and the rest online unlike me who saw all of it online
its not like the way the entire summer’s events across the country is viewed revolves around video footage
everyone knows you can’t watch videos of things that happened in another country unless you live there
the same thing happened in LA too he’s just an idiot
Yes almost every business in LA boarded the windows up for months in preparation for the mostly peaceful protests
u know that like... 99.999% of BLM protests could've been peaceful and still left a shithole behind them.
as you said, there were a fuck ton of protests happening all year long.
all it takes is a couple of assholes to make the rest look bad
