I have seen plenty, watching the live streams of the first nights of the protests. People of all races were very united about the police misconduct issue, and I never heard anyone mention BLM.

Now it's been warped in to a media spectacle though, with the purpose of making all protestors look bad

The protesters make themselves look bad. That's what they're paid to do.

Yes but again there is a difference between the genuine protesters, and the paid protestors that are basically agent provocateurs

No there's not.

Yeah there is, you keep grouping them together as if they're one monolithic block. Kind of a simplistic viewpoint

They operate with a mob mentality so I regard them as such.

Yes but there are other protestors not part of that mob...

If you're physically in a group where criminal and violent acts are taking place and you remain part of that group, then you are part of a violent criminal group. It's not that complicated.

You do realize that there are more protests going on, outside that physical group, right

Like there are other groups and people with different motives who aren't connected to these people, and aren't near them or associated with them in any way. I don't understand why you find this so baffling. There's 330 million people in the US.

I'm sorry you find it baffling.
