The attached just drives me crazy. I know that there are both groups involved but even in an article about gov't overreach, the author characterizes these people as "protesters?"
Not the case... If you are making your own Molotov cocktails and burning out police cars you are way over the line into criminal/anarchist/rioter. This is where the credibility of the "mostly peaceful protester" falls apart.

The rioting and looting is actually hurting their cause. The MSM isn't helping either as they are portraying the idiots as victims and lumping them in with the peaceful ones. If change is going to come, the true peaceful protesters are going to have to start singling out the ones causing the damage and starting the riots. I have seen videos of protesters telling Antifa to knock their shit off and they aren't helping.
I think I saw a stat on here that 93% of the protest are non-violent. You would think with that large of a number, singling out the 7% wouldn't be that hard to accomplish.
and needs to be called out as such. I believe this indeed hurts the cause of those that want police reform.
I am all for peaceful protests... but even classifying these individuals at protesters makes the case that the 7% resides in the protest, not a fringe group.
Call them out, they are just adding another problem to the mix, not creating a solution
