It's not a new strategy to judge movements like this on the worst cases.



In fact I think there are a lot of parallels between this and what's going on with the police.

* People see cases of violence/abuse in the news
* Some people associate the entire group with such violence, even if the numbers are minimal
The numbers SHOULD be zero as any rational person would tell you, but that's not the case. But the solution is not to simply demonize and abolish the groups entirely, because they're both doing important work that needs to be done. Problematic issues in the police system need to be reformed, and ANYONE guilty of unjustified violence or destruction must be brought to justice.

To be fair, back then we didn't have HD cameras to capture the truth of these "peaceful protests" the way we do now.

Of course racist assholes were going to do everything in their power to shut down MLK.

But in 2020......the people can SEE what's really going on.

And even then....the media still insists on editing footage, pushing narratives, and blatantly lying for the sake of politics.

Did ya'll conveniently forget about the Covington MAGA hat teen? If shit like that doesn't wake you up, I don't know what will.
