    These guys sound like right-wingers. I think you just shot yourself in the foot. Did you even watch the video through?

    So your position is that all of the rioting, violence, looting and destruction was perpetrated by "right-wingers"?

    Actually you made sense for once.

    But somehow I doubt the violent ones care about politics.

    ACLED claims, "police killings continue unabated," as they call out the "heavy-handed approach" by "militarized" law enforcement.

    The pro-demonstration, anti-law enforcement analysis itself should raise serious red flags. It reads like it was co-authored by a CNN anchor and a BLM activist, blaming cops and "right-wing militias" for much of the violence while making the case that the riots "shouldn't garner much media attention".

    This bias shouldn't come as a shock. In June, The Washington Post reports ACLED "expressed solidarity" with the very same social justice demonstrations they are now "studying"
