While we don’t typically weigh in on the state of America, what has transpired since the completely avoidable and inexcusable death of George Floyd, we cannot NOT bring light to the events that have unfolded since then. Black lives do matter.

98 percent of the protesters that have taken place in protests around the country over the last four days have been peaceful. It is the 2 percent that has been making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The majority of the 2 percent of protesters who have been inciting violence, looting, and destroying property have been white.

These are NOT supporters of the protesters. These are likely local proTrump armed militia agent provocateurs. The Aimpoint T1 optic on the AR15 is $750 alone. Only super gun geeks buy those. #RejectArmedPeople https://t.co/NFu9dOGNyA

Members of the various police forces and the National Guard around the country have played a large part in the escalation of violence. While the mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio actually and unbelievably said, he didn’t “blame” police for driving into protestors. I mean, seriously, what the fuck?

There is no reason why police officers and the national guard have to:

The list goes on and on.

Listen to these voices. This is what the protests are about. Not looting a Nordstroms. Not burning down an AutoZone. No spraying graffiti at The Grove. These words our powerful.

Listen

White people at #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd protests. You are our guests. Your job is not to spray paint, break shit, loot. That is not your right. Your job is to do everything you can do to put your bodies between Black bodies because you know they’ll actually do something if you die

Incredible scene at Colorado’s Capitol right now. Thousands of protesters are lying face down with their hands behind their backs chanting “I can’t breathe.” They’re doing this for 9 mins. #copolitics #denverprotest #GeorgeFloyd pic.twitter.com/PaABvp8ZoM

These are some of the incidents that were mentioned above (and others not mentioned) involving the police and national guard stoking the flames and inciting violence.

It’s unthinkably cruel to shove an elderly man using a cane to walk.

Let’s be honest. Too many cops have a bad attitude. And they act out with force unreasonably and with a sense of impunity. Time for serious reform. pic.twitter.com/7Tgo7trORY

A police officer pulls down a black man’s mask to pepper spray him! His hands were up, not behaving in any threatening way. This is outrageous. https://t.co/q1QypWbFt3

Police were the aggressors today in LA. It was peaceful for hours until they came looking like they were ready for war. Rubber bullets and smoke cans, batons out in full riot gear. Then blocking the protestors from entering Beverly Hills. Let the people march, get out of the way

We were yards away. No one was confrontational. It was not 9p. They started throwing gas at us anyway.

I wish I could say this is unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/WExdPRmHqx

These videos clearly show that it is not the actual protestors who are doing the looting and destruction. Those who are using the protest to make the protestors look bad.
