I like the way you manage to dismiss mass protests against systematic state brutality against an ethnic group on the basis that a few have protested violently. The Jews invented Krav Maga during the Shoah, and fought to their deaths in the Warsaw ghetto. There were over a hundred attempts at armed resistance by Jews. Why would America’s black people not equally seek to defend themselves by force, or even express their rage incoherently at times?

You’re basically trying a tu quoque on a few rioters while an entire race is ground into the soil by the now clearly fascist state.
