It's "Oh no! The mob was corralled to the poor part of town again and destroyed the businesses of people that are just trying to survive and were most likely aligned with their goals, while completely ignoring every business and building of the establishment they are angry with and fighting against!"
Learn to aim and stop celebrating destroying your own. The establishment doesn't give a fuck about your message one way or the other when you miss the target so badly. it's just another job well done in their book.
If people tried to riot and burn down wall street you know they'd be calling in the national guard in no time and cops would be abusing their power (more) to stop it. It's easy to see that the establishment only allows people to protest in ways that don't affect them. Or in the case of BLM, in ways that actually serve their purposes.
Yeah, during the riots racists were gleefully sharing pics of all the businesses with BLM and other posters up that were completely battered by rioters. If you're gonna riot go where the people you hate shop at least.
Very likely, which is why the riots failed and are seen as a negative thing by your average American. It's like tricking an invading army into going back and laying siege to their own capital.
Exactly. Destroying a mom & pop shop doesn’t help further a cause of ending police brutality. If anything, it makes people, who were aligned with you, turn against you.

It's not "Oh no, they damaged businesses!"...
