So we're just going to pretend that cities aren't going up in flames, businesses aren't being destroyed and innocent protestors, rioters and police aren't being killed?

There is an extremely blurry line between peaceful and violent protests. Unfortunately all of the chaos of recent days that the WaPo and others (Obama, etc.) seem all too eager to sweep under the rug has ruined things for everyone.

Blurry line for who?

These protests are documented with more video and more sources than any ever in history.

Please point to an example where violent protestor outnumber those being peaceful and exercising their rights?

If you are so eager to call out individual protestors, are you as eager to call out police misconduct or paint with a broad brush for that viewpoint?

Are you condemning ideas and groups or are you concerned with conduct?

We ask police to deal with mobs of violent criminals then get angry at them when they push someone, it's laughable.

It's naive to expect perfect policing in such situations.

So you think perfection is a reasonable expectation for protestors?

Your standards don’t seem consistent or reasonable.
