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.

It's a tell when someone comments on the ongoing civil unrest and their only concern is the violence from some protesters.

Yeah, this isn't concerning: https://youtu.be/HJeu3GEsOq8

It is concerning. It's also an incomplete narrative.

The protests are grounded in legitimate grievances, and engaging in public protest is a core right of the citizenry.

The violence effectively delegitimizes these protests in the eyes of millions of fellow citizens. I'm guessing that you may be one of them.

There are serious systemic issues with policing in America and if one only focuses on the bad actors on the "opposing side" then there is no dialog, only opposing monologues.

>>pstuar+5S
What grievances?

I'm sorry but I don't believe that you are engaging in good faith. If you are serious about discussing this I can answer your question, but from your comment history and your new account I don't see any value in even trying.
