    You do realized that “organized anarchists” is a contradiction in terms

    Actually explains it all and why you are viewing it incorrectly, they are anything but organized

    Before the protests began, organizers of certain anarchist, libertarian, white supremacist and other alt right groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money.

    These organizers also recruited medical teams and professions to be ready to move the sites of violent interactions with police and the non-violent protestors.

    White supremacists may be several ugly things, but anarchists isn’t one of them. Haven’t we been lectured for 3-4 years now about how there’s a hair-breadth distinction between nationalists and white supremacy?

    What nationalist wants to tear the nation down? Doesn’t make any sense.

    Would it be outlandish to conjecture that ‘they’ may be Antifa?

    Since Antifa employees fascist tactics [seemingly oblivious to the irony] I don’t see why they would have a problem organizing their anarchy. At least to some extent.

    Even anarchists have to communicate and etc.

    Did you read the OP?

    Btw, I don’t recall you objecting to people *assuming* Floyd’s race had anything to do with the cop’s mishandling of the situation.

    Or did I miss it?

    You missed it.

    I didn't see anything in the video to indicate that racism was at play. That said, I think the overall gist of the protests is law enforcement's general relationship w/ the inner cities, and what citizens there see as a pattern of discrimination & wrongful treatment.

    Anarchy:

    A state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority.

    There is no local government in the Democratic cities. They have abrogated their authority.

    He added, "They prepared to commit property damage and directed people who were following them that this should be done selectively and only in wealthier areas or at high-end stores run by corporate entities."

    Without specifying who "they" are, Miller said the agitators "developed a complex network of bicycle scouts to move ahead of demonstrators in different directions of where police were and where police were not for purposes of being able to direct groups from the larger group to places where they could commit acts of vandalism including the torching of police vehicles and Molotov cocktails where they thought officers would not be."

    That does not justify anarchy or you condoning it.

    Who said they were?

    What has been said is that there might be right wing extreme groups involved in the disturbances for the purpose of instigating violence to flip a peaceful protest into a riot. The key, as the Governor and Mayor said, is there are perhaps an array of outside groups intent on violence involved along side of the peaceful protesters

    And of course the “they” are Antifa, and Antifa is largely a website on the dark web

    Exactly, their, as you refer to it as “organizing,” is anonymous posts on the dark web, and their “tactics” are just to cause disruption, you don’t lend a lot of prep time to pull that off

    Who said anything about anyone being arrested?

    And even there they did say there were a small percent from out of the area, it doesn’t take many to turn a protest into a riot, actually just a handful

    What do the statistics say?

    Do cops wrongly kill more blacks people than white people? Statistically, who kills the most black people?

    Well, Anchovies, if they are such a peaceful, ineffective, disorganized group, why are the president and Sec. of State Pompeo declaring Antifa a terrorist group.?
