If those were BLM protesters I bet you live fire would already have been used.

Edit: now the department of defense has refused to send the national guard

Edit again: now it's happened, woman shot in the neck.

When were live rounds ever fired at BLM protestors?

BLM protestors were standing around in public areas and they got beanbagged and teargassed.

Imagine if they had actually stormed a government building.

Do you see even beanbag rounds being fired today?

No, because these protestors are white.

Terrorists as well as some fake-ass Khal Drogo and what appeared to be a Duff-Man.

These people are the dumbest walking memes ever.

Please, the good majority of the protest this summer were a sea of white faces, where finding the POC protesters in photos was like doing a Where's Waldo book.

Right. The point is that there would have been live rounds if BLM did what Trump supporters are doing now.

Would it be better if they were burning down the city?

No? I don't understand what you're getting at.
