This is your opinion. It is not remotely a fact.
So you think there would be riots and looting if BLM was not hosting a bunch of protests? Why?
From what I understand, the riots are done to agitate whites people. To make them uncomfortable, a tactic designed to spur the change BLM is fighting for. That’s from BLM supporters so I do wonder why you, some white girl from New England (white man?) is qualified to say otherwise.
Stop.

How are you assuming this riot was Started by protesters and not police or outside provocateurs? You do not know. You were not there.

Going by what you said a little higher in the page, it’s up to you to provide proof that they’re not.

I’ll have to get some more examples when I’m not working
I think blm has a lot of good people in it. Lots of them are peaceful. Lots of them, however, are not. So to say blm is or is not peaceful is a loaded statement because it’s a somewhat amorphous entity. I will concede there are external elements injecting themselves within BLM, with the intent to spark violence. I will stand by the fact that the two are causually linked; were there no BLM protests there would not have been (blm or not-blm) riots.
Stop.

Hitchen’s Razor. If you are claiming these two groups are the same than you provide the proof.
It’s not my responsibility to disprove an assumption you’re choosing to make. Opportunists looking to steal usually take advantage of chaos to do so. And it serves anti-protesters interests to make the protesters look bad by committing crimes during their protests.
White people have been caught on camera doing it many times.

Why should I believe you? I see CNN report on BLM protests in Seattle followed by riots, looting, and a rebel autonomous zone that seemingly emerged out of said protests. This is from CNN, honey, how am I to interpret these events if not directly related.
Stop.

They get upset because you think OTHER people who are NOT THEM looting businesses someone discredits the equality and justice they are fighting for.
They get rightfully upset when conservatives Care more about replaceable property than irreplaceable Black lives. A building can be rebuilt. Black people killed by the State cannot be brought back.
If you don’t get that you’re a numbskull (and you are) not worth educating In the first place.

So why do blm supporters get so upset when normal people express disapproval of looting and rioting? Why is blm conflating riots with its own so called peaceful movement?
Perhaps because the looting occurs during blm protests. Maybe that is why, and maybe it’s not blm that is to blame. In any case, blm is capitalizing on it and it’s very hard if not impossible to differentiate the two. They’re now one in the same, unless you can prove me wrong (i am hoping you can)
Stop.

BLM is not looting or attacking businesses. Looters are doing that. You are conflating two groups that don’t overlap.
You can’t just assume people attacking businesses are BLM protesters especially since there are clearly agent provocateurs(Some police) doing the damage.
"You had me at Elk Tartare"
-Erin Wotherspoon

Looting businesses and hurting people is not protesting. Those are crimes. There is a difference. BLM protests, loots, and has hurt people. Those are facts.
People have been killed during BLM protests, including black people. People have been socially crucified and fired from employment for voicing any semblance of criticism of BLM. These are not good things, Erica.
So you think we should defund the police. How exactly will we be instituting change in how the police are trained if you cut their budget? Why not demilitarize the police, keep funding flat and reallocate the capital toward training them in conflict resolution skills? That way you keep the police while killing off the root cause of police violence which is their inability to peacefully deescalate situations with potentially violent individuals like George Floyd, who was a felon.
Stop.

You just told me the looting and the blm protests were different things. Why are you conflating my disapproval of looting with my disagreement with the blm movement? I’m in favor of the Crux of the blm movement which is a push for equality. Looting does nothing to further that cause; I am opposed to looting and rioting.
Stop.

Meanwhile everything you say on this topic is a regurgitated Fox News talking point.
You care more about Department stores getting windows broken and some petty theft than you do about a group of people being Systemically killed by the State. One can only assume stupidity, brainwashing or sociopathy when you prioritize outrage for the former over the later.

You keep mischaracterizing BLM on purpose . Every protest group is going to piss off the group of people oppressing them. The purpose of protests is to make people uncomfortable so government makes the seismic changes they are asking for. You want protests quiet and calm so you can ignore them.
The police don’t need MORE money. Their training is proving ineffective because of it’s quality and not it’s funding. They need the exorbitant funds they already have divested to services where it’s actually needed, like hmmmm Education. No country has a more unnecessarily militarized police force than the U.S. And increasing accountability doesn’t help when the lack of accountability is starting from the top and pervading every level of departments down to the lowest level.

I despise hannity
The police are probably violent because the job is one of the hardest in the world to do right. Maybe I’m wrong. Let’s say the numbers you’re eluding to, with respect to police and domestic violence, are genuine and to be taken at face value. It’s better to have a police force with some level of accountability than groups of citizens (ie armed thugs) roaming the streets and enforcing their own “might makes right” laws wherein only the strong get to say what is right or wrong.
Defunding the police is a bad idea. They need more funding because their training is lackluster. Train them in conflict resolution and give them proper combat training so they don’t resort to patently dangerous tactics like leaning on peoples necks. Increase accountability and oversight. But do not make their jobs harder, which willl just make the police more desperate and poorly behaved
Stop.

𝐸𝓇𝒾𝒸𝒶𝑅𝑒𝓃𝑒—𝒫𝓇𝒾𝒸𝑒

Bullshit . Lol
Watching too much Hannity there. The police as a national entity are an example of an overly violent group considering they can’t stop beating their wives and killing people they investigate.

No but they have similarities. They’re both violent bigots.
