I read police reports from 9 cities and the ACLED report that documented over 7500 protests. You didn't. All you did was find some bs rightwing website that told you what you wanted to hear.
You are going to learn to stop lying.
“The vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity.”
The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project documented the summer protests. They recorded over 7,500 protests and found that more than 93 percent were peaceful.
ACLED documented over 2,400 locations and found that violence occurred in less than 220. The violence ranged from “fighting back against police” to vandalism, property destruction looting, road-blocking using barricades, burning tires or other materials.”
This report also found that the government response from president number forty-five contributed to the violence. The federal response increased tension and violence. For example, in Portland, Oregon,
violence increased by nine percent after president number forty-five sent troops to that city. ACLED also found that the government intervened more in BLM demonstrations than any other demonstration or protest.
“ACLED also highlights a violent government response, in which authorities use force more often than not when they are present at protests and that they disproportionately used force while intervening in demonstrations associated with the BLM movement, relative to other types of demonstrations.
“Since Floyd’s killing, dozens of car-ramming attacks by individual perpetrators — in some cases acting independently with no reported affiliation, and in others linked to hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan — have been reported at demonstrations around the country. Other cases have involved those affiliated with the government, such as the military and law enforcement, including an on-duty police officer at a demonstration in Anaheim, California on 25 July; an off-duty police officer at a demonstration in Seattle, Washington on 4 July; an army sergeant at a demonstration in Austin, Texas on 25 July; and an off-duty jail correctional officer at a demonstration in Kokomo, Indiana on 30 May.”
