You are trying to sound objective by comparing protests but frankly you sound downright foolish.

You're comparing protests about systemic racism and murder to protests getting hair cuts and lowering taxes.

Of course one side's protests usually break out in violence. They are protesting the very fact that they are inordinately subject to widespread state-sanctioned violence.

Also the police are willing to escalate violently with one group but not the other.

I wonder if it's related to the fact that the protestors a few weeks ago were carrying lots of guns openly. I genuinely wonder what would happen if a majority the people protesting today were all carrying AR-15's

They would have been mass murdered.

People in Waco were also heavily armed.

Historically speaking, it would lead to a sudden interest in gun restrictions from people who were previously opposed.

I wondered about this. If all the people protesting started building arsenals like we saw a couple weeks ago, would that lead to gun control finally happening?

Honestly, it is funny to me that the group most dedicated to standing up and fighting against a tyrannical government and refuses to believe that the military would be called in against peaceful protesters is still standing on the sidelines and watching the violence unfold. The day they realize that they and the BLM movement are mostly on the same side for this issue (anti government heavy-handedness) will be the day that these protests start getting seriously scary.

That realization won't happen as a result of racism and intentional division.
