    Libs will use this to say BLM protestors should go back to brunch instead of continuing to confront the cops in 3.....2.....1.....

        Exactly. When the verdict was announced I felt sick to my stomach thinking about how the dems across all levels of government will use this moment to crack down on protests because “it’s just thugs and antifa looting now”

      And when they do, tell them that the system was so broken that it required months of nationwide rioting and a year of the justice system sitting on their hands to call a murderer what he is

        Not generally. They absolutely don’t support the protest. If I had a dollar for every lib friend or person I’ve seen online that was like “I don’t think the police are right but the blm are hurting their own community! The property owners don’t deserve this to happen”

        They just want to appropriate their iconography for social media, that’s not support

        Only as long as it is peaceful and ineffective. Any real radical protesting involving anything other than sitting on the ground and chanting results in tutting and eyerolling.

        In the early days when the BLM protests were full of liberals a whole bunch of comrades were literally being grabbed by dumbass liberals and handed over to the cops too. It was vile and nasty. They tried to coopt and deradicalise it really hard.
