Ik vind het toch echt een schrikbarend aantal riots ed.
Los van dat dat dergelijke ellende de aandacht natuurlijk veel meer trekt dan vreedzame protesten.

Dus eigenlijk is er niks aan de hand en doet Trump het dus prima.

Vergeet ook niet dat de VS een kleine 20x meer inwoners heeft dan Nederland. Met de recente opstootjes in Nederland kom je per capita al aardig in de buurt.

Paar avonden achter elkaar onrustig in een paar wijken en je zit al op tientallen incidenten. 570/20 is afgerond 29. Daar zit je toch al snel aan.

Despite the media focus on looting and vandalism, however, there is little evidence to suggest that demonstrators have engaged in widespread violence. In some cases where demonstrations did turn violent, there are reports of​ agents provocateurs​— or infiltrators​—instigating the violence. During a demonstration on 27 May in Minneapolis, for example, a man with an umbrella​—dubbed the ‘umbrella man’ by the media and later identified as a member of the Hells Angels linked to the Aryan Cowboys, a white supremacist prison and street gang​—​was seen smashing store windows (​Forbes, 30 May 2020​;​KSTP, 28 July 2020​). It was one of the first of destructive activity that day, and it “created an ​atmosphere of hostility and tension” that helped spark an outbreak of looting following initially peaceful protests,according to police investigators, who believe the man “wanted to sow discord and racial unrest​” (​New York Times, 28 July 2020​).In another example on 29 May in Detroit, a number of non-residents reportedly traveled to the city to engage in violent behavior during a demonstration, leading to multiple arrests (​MLive, 2June 2020​).

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has asked for federal help to rebuild cities in his state that were damaged during riots in the wake of the death of George Floyd in police custody.

Around 1,500 businesses in Minneapolis where Floyd died, and in St. Paul, were damaged by vandalism, fire or looting during the unrest, Walz's office said in a statement, with estimates of the damage in the Twin Cities exceeding $500 million.

Er is weinig bewijs dat suggerreet dat "vreedzame demonstranten" zich bezighielden met wijdverspreid geweld, aldus het rapport.
Maar deze schade van $500 miljoen (misschien is "wijdverspreid" volgens de ACLED pas gelegitimeerd in gebruik na 1 miljard schade?) kwam allemaal door een meneer met een paraplu.

Blijft staan dat desondanks geconstateerd is dat er op 220 verschillende locaties 570 geweldadige demonstraties zich hebebn afgespeeld tussen 24 mei en 22 augustus.
Het dodental nadat de (geweldadige) demonstraties zijn uitgebarsten wordt inmiddels geschat op 30! Dit nummer is bovendien niet ge-update, want het artikel is van 19 augustus.
Op zijn minst zijn er 30 mensen zijn [url=Retired officer, ex-college athlete among victims of unrest]slachtoffer geworden[/url] van de onrust.

Death Toll Rises To An Estimated 30 Victims Since ‘Mostly Peaceful Protests’ Began

Given the underlying support for these protests, a major challenge remains for the president: Many Americans doubt his ability to fix the problems and reduce tensions that have precipitated the demonstrations. According to a YouGov survey on Wednesday, 56 percent of adults said that the violence happening at protests would get worse if Trump were reelected this November. Fifteen percent thought the violence would stay at similar levels, while 18 percent thought it would improve (11 percent said they didn't know). Conversely, 43 percent thought protest violence would get better if Joe Biden won, and just 23 percent thought it would worsen. Somewhat similarly, 50 percent of likely voters told Quinnipiac University this week that they felt less safe with Trump as president, compared with 35 percent who said they felt safer. These voters were more split on Biden, however: 42 percent said they'd feel safer with Biden in the White House, and 40 percent said they'd feel less safe. Regarding Trump's and Biden's rhetoric on the protests, ABC News/Ipsos survey found that 55 percent of Americans thought Trump's statements made things worse, while about half the country (49 percent) thought Biden's statements didn't have much effect either way.

Furthermore, other polling continued to show that voters preferred Biden's prospective handling of race relations, public safety and unifying the country. In this week's Quinnipiac poll, 58 percent of likely voters said Biden would handle the issue of racial inequality better, compared with 36 percent who said Trump would fare better. A new CNN/SSRS poll found a similar breakdown -- 56 percent of registered voters said Biden, and 38 percent said Trump. According to Morning Consult's new survey, 51 percent said Biden would do a better job handling race relations versus 32 percent who said Trump; 47 percent said that Biden would better handle public safety versus 39 percent who said Trump would. According to the ABC News/Ipsos poll, 56 percent and 55 percent of Americans thought Biden would do a better job keeping their families and the country safe, respectively, compared with 42 percent for Trump on both questions. Even on an issue that might fold in better with Trump's law-and-order messaging, 51 percent of registered voters told CNN/SSRS that Biden would do a better job dealing with the criminal justice system, compared with 44 percent who said Trump would. CNN/SSRS also found that 56 percent thought Biden stood a better chance of unifying the country and not dividing it, while just 36 percent thought Trump stood a better chance. ABC News/Ipsos found an even larger split: 64 percent of Americans said Biden would do more to unite the country than divide it, while only 33 percent said the same of Trump.

Het is juist het perspectief van de Democrats en de corrupte media dat de afgelopen maanden in deze topic getoetst wordt aan de realiteit door beelden en ooggetuigenverslagen. Dit is inmiddels deel 50 en pas sinds twee weken hebben de Democrats het signaal gekregen van CNN Don Lemon de rellen op te nemen in hun verkiezingspraatje.
Eerder bestonden de rellen niet en was het gespin van de GOP.

President Donald Trump on Sunday warned the Department of Education is investigating the use of the New York Times’ “1619 Project” in schools, saying that institutions that use the alternative narrative of U.S. history could lose federal funding.

The “1619 Project,” created by Nikole Hannah-Jones and widely panned by historians and political scientists, attempts to cast the Atlantic slave trade as the dominant factor in the founding of America instead of ideals such as individual liberty and natural rights. Some critics have said that it is an attempt to rewrite U.S. history through a left-wing lens. Some historians have criticized the project over inaccuracies such as the American Revolution having been fought to preserve the institution of slavery rather than for seeking independence from Britain.

Former CIA Officer and counter-terrorism expert Kevin Shipp predicts, “Trump is going to win, but when Trump wins . . . these people are just going to go crazy and escalate the violence.” As far as the cheat-by-mail campaign the Democrats have been pushing, Shipp thinks, “They are a little late in the game. So, I don’t think that’s going to work. What they may do if the ballots don’t come in until after the election . . . they will say we've got all these votes, and we want to count them. They will contest the election, and that’s already part of their plan. They know these mail-in votes are not going to work this late in the game. After the election, they are going to claim that this is reason to contest the election and not concede. Just watch it happen.”

Shipp also predicts, “I think Trump is going to have a wider margin of victory than he did in 2016. The Democrat Party has shot themselves in the foot . . . encouraging this violence, thinking it was going to make Trump look bad and make things look unstable. It has backfired on them. . . . The Democrats already know they have lost, and Joe Biden sadly gets worse by the week in terms of his mental acuity, and they know it. It’s embarrassing and cruel for the Democrat Party to keep putting him in that position. . . . The Democrats are terrified, and Donald Trump is going to decimate Joe Biden in the debates. Democrats are going to do everything they can to keep these debates from happening.”
