Let me guess- due to advanced stealth capabilities, despite all of the media, livestreaming and phone in every person's hand, there isn't a single photo of one of these vehicles.

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Minneapolis was: White: 63.79% Black or African American: 19.36% Asian: 6.13%

6. I agree and it should be noted that white citizens are and should be outraged

But I fear that the white supremacists who have been marching on our capitals white brandishing their guns are itching for the outbreak of violence. It isn’t mere coincidence that Corporal Bonespurs tweeted this morning that looters should be shot

Black Bloc. They were at Ferguson and the G-20 inciting rioting. I’ve seen anarchist graffiti all over the place. And they don’t give a crap about George Floyd . They just want to destroy things.

The black Bloc serves as protectors for protesters.

Anarchists are anti authoritarian. They care but they are willing to fight the authoritarian.

Your ignorance regarding
Genuine anarchists is bad.

I am an anarchist,but I and many other anarchists realize humanity is too emotionally damaged and immature to handle it.(narcissists,
sociopaths,
and authoritarians)
especially.

There are a lot of thought that goes into protests when true anarchists are involved,you have to rule yourself and be responsible for your actions and protect the vulnerable.

People fucking shit up is not anarchy.

Capitalists are very afraid of true anarchy because they'd have power over no one. That's why anarchy got a bad rap.

Here are a few links to check out.
