About 93% of racial justice protests in the US since the death of George Floyd have been peaceful and nondestructive, according to a new report.
The findings, released Thursday, contradict assumptions and claims by some that protests associated with the Black Lives Matter movement are spawning violence and destruction of property.
The report was produced by the US Crisis Project, a joint effort by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) and the Bridging Divides Initiative (BDI) at Princeton University, which collects and analyzes real-time data on demonstrations and political violence in the US.

"These data reveal that the United States is in crisis," the report's authors wrote. "It faces a multitude of concurrent, overlapping risks -- from police abuse and racial injustice, to pandemic-related unrest and beyond -- all exacerbated by increasing polarization."

It doesn’t occur to right wingers that peaceful protests exist, because peaceful protests don’t go viral and they dont get reported on at all on right wing media outlets.

 

[X Factor]

I don’t think BLM or anti police protesters get to complain about how it’s only a minority of protests that get violent. If police “violence” was at “only” 7%, that would actually be a massive increase from what it is now, yet we’re supposed to view all cops as bastards.

American cops have largely brought the animosity on themselves. Even cops who are allegedly the "good ones" defend the bad cops. If they called out their own bad apples instead of defending them, they'd have the credibility to pretend it's just a small minority of bad cops. The entire system is designed to protect bad cops and keep them above the law.

The actual topic of the thread is that the right wing propaganda campaign is as usual based on lies.

Well, I, for one, fully support you all go back to ignoring the violent ones. The sudden faux concern over the violence is only because it was reflecting badly for Dems in the polling.

Bull****. It has been much much higher than that.

Every little town in the country had multiple assassin BLM protests without violence. Mostly a bunch of idiots out for a walk with the stroller.

and then if you reach within the crowds you find the percent even lower than that. It has to be in excess of 99.99999%

sadly, it is the trouble that only takes one we have to stop... not easy with all the nitwits out there too

That's two unfair generalizations in one sentence. Try Googling "peaceful protests around the country after george floyd death-fox news."

This is TRump's America...

This is his watch. He instigated all this. People know this.

Hey, maybe protesters have brought a lot of animosity on themselves too.

Yeah you conservatives said that about blacks in the 50's too

If they didn’t want to get shot in the face with rubber bullets, they shouldn’t have been protesting injustice!!

This is such a lie. Go back to ignoring and justifying the violence. At least that was more honest.

Or set fires, or assaulted police officers, or clubbed store owners with bats.

If black people would just die quietly there would be no problem!!!!

So, you’re admitting to lumping peaceful protesters in with those people. Got it.

Want me to do the same to you? Right wing nutters shoot up a synagogue, why are you so antisemitic?

Why not? You do the same to cops already.

Lie?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, we had near none of this the last 40 years... now we have the right and left shooting at each other in the streets... just like TRump has always encouraged. We all know how he speaks to encourage this violence.

I have so had it with the cultists who refuse to be honest TO THEMSELVES. I would not mind but their refusal to acknowledge fact is hurting the country.

Come on man, be American not a Trumpist.

No, I’ve repeatedly said there is a minority of cops who cause great harm and a large majority of cops who look on in silence. Both are bad, but they are not equally bad.

Naturally, conservatives are incapable of understanding this nuance.

 

[Roadvirus]

I'm sure the owner of that car dealership in Wisconsin (?) and the family of the dead person during the CHAZ/Seattle crap would disagree.

 

[CaughtInThe]

they don't care. Rush and Fox have them convinced that the "thugs" ( )are coming after their wives and daughters.

I'm sure 93% if the people at charlottesville were peaceful, and 93% if the people that were protesting the Rodney King incident were peaceful. Peaceful protests are largely ignored if they are overshadowed by riots and violence. Protestors should be protesting the riots because that is taking away from their message.

Bravo!

I mean come on people... Nearly 220 gatherings where riots, destruction, looting, violence and arson took place is just a drop in the bucket.

So insignificant the average person would hardly notice.




Just think of the number of violent protests they will support if they don't win the election...

There’s nothing “nuanced” about supporting violence toward police.
