Most of the property damage done during 'riots' over police brutality is committed by random a****s who show up to just take advantage of the chaos and have no stake in the political motivation behind the original protesting. Indeed. It's largely impossible to pin down the exact proportion and I'm not about to suggest that there were no actual vandals or violent protesters that legitimately aligned themselves with BLM, but a substantial portion of the violence was just opportunistic troublemakers taking advantage of the chaos, and I expect there were also quite a few false flag actors trying to stir things up to discredit the movement (including quite a few police, given that there have been documented cases of police doing things like hauling in pallets of bricks to protest sites before the crowd arrived). Even then, well over 90% of the protests were still totally peaceful, so the "BLM are violent terrorists!" narrative is obviously nonsense. --- This is my signature.
