Rules Recovered From The Floyd Riots ( sh.itjust.works )

I was protesting in Minneapolis at the time. Protests occurred and were peaceful during the day, whereas opportunist rioters stayed out at night in spite of curfew and rioted. There was also the infamous "umbrella man" white supremacist who burned down an AutoZone during the day. Of the 17 people convicted of arson during the unrest, only 3 were from Minneapolis/St. Paul; the rest commuted in to raise hell.

I do not want to downplay the property destruction of the rioters; I cleaned up several torched buildings in the aftermath and it was sad and scary. But the people who rioted were not protesters in my experience.

The ones marching were primarily liberals and leftists. The conservatives and centrists were the ones this bingo card should be talking about.

Considering that US liberals were the main participants in the Floyd protests, 'arguing with liberals' seems like a bizarre label for this.

The protest generally became violent after the cops did.

Still not even true, the protestors were much more effective and interested in de-escalation than the police

My personal experience: More cops at city center cause there were protesters. And asshole teenagers saying it was his fault in game lobbys.

Edit: They were probably asshole adults, but they just sound like idiot kids to me.
