The protests are calming down with less looting, rioting, and arson in most cities. This is good news. I support the right of people to peacefully protest. I also believe the officers in the Floyd case should be prosecuted. Unfortunately some agitators have taken advantage of the protests to cause violence and mayhem. It seems that police in many cities are getting control of this now through a variety of tactics. Let's hope we continue to see the violence and rioting drop -- and not undermine the message of peaceful protests.
Very good.Prevents conservatives from changing the narrative like they have been trying to do on Fox News all week
When there is violence and riots the narrative is completely lost. In the presence of riots and violence the narrative simply becomes "stop the rioters" for most Americans. This detracts from the message and change the peaceful protestors are trying to bring forward.
Weekend activity will tell the tale, at least short term. Right now I'd asses this as a regroup and reorganize phase. Many of their troops are in custody and will soon be released, if not already.
The past presidents spoke authoratively, many others but Trump. There is a mid-week lul, don't take it for granted.
