Violent protesters

I actually think that a lot of these violent “protesters” destroying stuff are actually young conservative whites pretending to be liberal to either make liberal whites look bad or the black protesters look bad.

These are the same tactics that Russia and conservatives use on twitter.

Some of the people destroying property and looting are neither residents of the affected communities or even Afro-American.

This isn’t like Watts or Detroit back in the sixties. Some of these trouble-makers are pro-Trump activists, white supremacists or neo-Nazis.
