>Including the violence by civilians (whether we call them protestors or not), the leftist protests did lead to a lot more bloodshed. I misunderstood and thought you were talking solely about the police.

I was. Most of the victims during the protests were black. You cherry picked quotes from the article to support your views.

The reality is that a peaceful BLM protest was dispersed with greater violence so that the president can pose across the street with a bible, than a mob attacking and storming the Capitol.

If you were only talking about people killed by police, why did you provide a list of 19 people, at least 17 of whom weren't killed by police?

Most of the deaths occurred outside of the capital. Many were caused by blm protester attacking another.

Or a blm protestor attacking a citizen trying to protect their livelihood. But most people will probably turn a blind eye because it doesn't fit the narrative (blm riots = peaceful protests, capitol riots = domestic terrorism)

Makes me chuckle that the result of this + the deplatforming of most of the opposition will only result in even more extremism and separation in the US.

I guess you reap what you sow

You think all protestors are the same?

The level of violence at blm protests were a lot higher for a lot longer in a lot more places. The age groups were opposite. The weapons usage by protestors were much higher and the trepassing on private property didn't exist here. Besides by nightfall the protest was done blm protests turned violent at night.
