Meanwhile, 57 police officers resigned from their post on the emergency response team (the team that principally responds to riots and to "protect" peaceful protests) in protest when 2 police officers were suspended (and subsequently charged) for assaulting a peaceful protester on camera.

The vast majority of protesters (and supporters of protesters) condemn the rioting and looting but acknowledge that it is an inevitable consequence of the oppression of the voiceless.
It's like what Martin Luther King Jr. said:
The people who don't like the rioters will often only quote the first paragraph, FWIW.
Ignoring the peaceful protests creates the violent protests, which in turn makes the peaceful protests look much more reasonable by comparison. It's a cycle that has repeated over the course of human history. Hopefully, we break that cycle the next time peaceful protests occur in the future and just listen, rather than condemn.
I have always loved MLK Jr. Great man. Thanks for that quote CJD. I agree with it completely.
It is different with Antifa though, they are paid, some have said so. They are fascist supporters saying they are the exact opposite.
Happens a lot with the Left. They say they are Progressives while they are Regressives cause the Liberal word hurts them after
showing what they really are. They just change their name to something new, happens over and over again. I have seen so called
environmentalists come here to Wyoming and throw huge parties and shit everywhere in the forests and leave it for everyone else
to clean up. Hypocrisy beyond imagination and it gets worse everyday.
Same with Antifa, they run around with masks, thinking people don't know who they are and threaten and actually attack vets,
hit innocent God loving Americans with pipes and harass people in Cities all over the country and people put up with it. Will never
understand this. I know there are good people in these protests but it does no good when they let Antifa take over and commit
violence.
