Since we are onto the topic of Protests and 2020 summer protests were brought up, lets look at that as well.
From a quick search, according to Wilki there were 19 deaths from May 26 - June 8, 2020, as a result of George Floyd protests. The Guardian mentioned 11 but I am going with the bigger number.
Make no mistake about it, All those involved in crimes/breaking the law associated with Any protests (Antifa, BLM, Proud Boys, xyz, civilians, etc...... ) should be brought to justice! Never ever have I said law enforcement should pick and choose who to arrest/not arrest. There should never be a bias when bringing those to justice who have broken the law.
Of course both sides of the isle spew false inflammatory rhetoric to excite their base - like a high school pep rally (only more toxic).
Sadly, the issue with false inflammatory rhetoric is that it often influences some folks to carry out impulsive criminal acts and unfortunately innocent people can be affected ... and politicians (both D & R) could care less because its all about their agenda.
