No obviously, but I try to understand why it's happening and make sure I don't catastrophize (that a word?) it and lose focus on what the majority are really protesting for


To add to this,

Like, with these protests and riots.
I'm always curious where people draw the line of what counts as too much violence. How much condemnation is needed?

I don't 100% agree with the official BLM policy goals and I don't agree with the rioting and looting aspects of what's going on in various places. But I understand where it's coming from and I support the general goal of police and criminal reform.

But I guess for me, i go into it knowing protests can turn ugly due to actions of only a few. So in my head, stories of people doing obviously bad shit like rioting and looting isn't really enough to some how make me forget what the goal the majority of people are pushing. Mainly because I know that I shouldn't let this obvious small group change what I know the movement is for. And unless I'm mistaken, noticeable Democrats have spoken out against this stuff months ago.

I guess my main thing is:
will any percentage of looting make people dismiss the whole movement? What amount of negativity can be allowed.
