and then when u actually break those down that scale doesn't look that big LMAO
1-2 billion for 26,000,000 attendees and the protests happening in just about every major city does not actually seem that large when compared to la riots cost 1billion
BREAKING NEWS
WHEN PROTESTS BIGGER, COST BIGGER
By the time the riots ended, 63 people had been killed,[7] 2,383 had been injured, more than 12,000 had been arrested, and estimates of property damage were over $1 billion. Koreatown, where the bulk of the rioting in South Central Los Angeles occurred, received disproportionately more damage than surrounding areas. LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates, who had already announced his resignation by the time of the riots, was attributed with much of the blame for failure to de-escalate the situation and overall mismanagement.[8][9]
You know the LA riots were left largely alone by police officers right
Like police didn’t really make a really attempt to stop them just contain them
BLM need to up their fucking violence man. imagine taking place in nearly every major city, having 26,000,000 attendees and still only putting up 14,000 arrests.
rookie numbers
i'm only comparing it to LA riots because you did.
i'm using YOUR comparison with YOUR preferred source
So it was more damage on a wider scale than the LA riots which were literally 7 days of unchecked violence
Like you know the cops basically just created blockades on Wilshire and stopped protestors going into nice areas and let them loot and riot unchecked in other areas
were you also present at the la riots?
No police presence, which is what you’re saying should’ve happened with the BLM riots
A good friend of mine and his father, who are black, were there and I’ve spoken to them about it
But that’s not even an argument, that’s literally what happened and the narrative supported by pretty much anyone
so BLM had police presence and ONLY had 14,000 arrests? compared to la riots which had no police presence but still arrested 12,000 people in a week
oh so you weren't there. you probably shouldn't speak about it. watching youtube and looking at wikipedia isn't a good source
Well yeah you’re saying it’s the polices fault for the riots that did occur
Ok sure, were you at any BLM riots?
nope i wasn't
