Not sure what is hard to understand.
The reason it is an issue is because the media isn't reporting the proper story. They have turned it into the police state versus the rioters, when that isn't what it is at all. Most of the protesting has been peaceful. There is a small group of people on both sides, cops & rioters that are making it all worse.
But when we make 2 min videos of 'police brutality in America', or 2 min videos of 'how America is burning', everyone seems to think this is the norm and it just makes the problem worse.
Most groups that are peacefully protesting have caught on to this and are working to help the cops apprehend the people rioting and destroying businesses. Even the gangs in Chicago are working with the police to help.
People really need to stop reading what they see on Fox News or CNN. The media has been contributing to this problem for many years with their style of headline reporting.

You failed to respond to the crucial part of my post.
Is there something more you're basing this claim of antifa-participation on than just pictures of guys in masks causing mayhem?
Why do you think they're antifa, other than they fit a certain stereotype and some people call them antifa?
I'm not saying it's impossible they're out there. If some antifa-group considers the police to be basically fascists, it's conceivable.
But I haven't seen anything at all suggesting antifa participation. Not even a single social media post made by a group claiming themselves to be antifa condemning police brutality. As fas as I can tell, antifas existence in the US is extremely marginal for the most part.
Now, I'm not that active in those circles anymore so maybe it's just not coming up in my feed (I'm sure there's SOMETHING out there), but given the atmosphere and the extent to which that label is thrown around, I would also imagine that if any antifa group had actually made a post suggesting a connection, the conservative right wing would go just nuts spreading it around.
So, any links or anything to back the claim up?
