First off, y’all gotta stop downvoting folks who are having a conversation in good faith.

In response to your comment: I used to think exactly like this, marching in the BLM protests in Seattle and watching looters with selfish motives. It was frustrating and felt like it was undercutting the message among moderates. The thing is, moderates were not going to care about the important issues regardless, so I’m not sure why we’d cater to them.

I think it’s a fair stance to take when the protests don’t have life and death stakes. But people are being murdered and if the fastest way to get the public to pay attention is to break stuff, well, people are more important than things, every time.
