The people turning protests into riots are bad actors. Most of the protesters recognize that - as the video and other posted videos show. The fact many of those trying to ratchet up the violence look to be bandana-wearing white anarchists, and those restraining them are black protesters, is noteworthy.
Some of us don't want to see
anyone beaten, shot with rubber bullets, or have rocks thrown at them. Or see any buildings burned down, stores looted, or businesses destroyed. Is that really a partisan stance?
And whether or not you call them Antifa, there absolutely is a movement of radical anarchists who flock to any sort of large-scale protest with the aim to turn it violent. The guy in the video had a rock hammer and a plan to break up paving stones and use them as weapons. That isn't spur-of-the-moment anger. It's premeditated political violence. Has tribalism gone so far that some people can't even acknowledge that violent far-left radicals exist?
