I'm sure the people whose businesses were looted o r burned to the ground well take comfort in that statistic. As well as those innocents who were shot.

By definition a protest is peaceful. When it is not, it becomes a riot. Its become so confusing to conflate the two.

I don't care about the percentages. First, the "protests" are based on a narrative completely contrived by the media without any factually support. Second, if you continue to show up to actually peacefully protest in a place that those protests have regularly broken down into violence then all you are doing is providing criminals aid and support.
