Don't be fooled. The majority of the protesters ARE peaceful. They are angry and rightfully so, but they are not the main ones looting and burning. They are kneeling and praying and shouting and marching, but bad actors have been coming into those spaces to have you believe that the violence stems from those who really want to effect change. They are the agitators most times inciting the violence. All legitimate protesters aren't innocent, but the whole idea is to concentrate on the resulting violence-not the violence that precipitated it in the first place. That's what keeps the well worn narratives and stereotyping going for the people who have been affected the most by police violence. That's how this started. I don't want to argue, but I don't want to let a blanket statement stand as fact either. These protesters want the police to keep their knees off their necks. Literally.
