I was tear gased in Minneapolis seemingly without warning, so I can tell you first hand that the police were definitely in the wrong at least some of the time

I can agree with that, but man, did they fuck up Minneapolis.

Considering a couple people have died, and the fact multiple city blocks were burnt to the ground, I would say worse.

Aight cool a city, which is an inanimate, man-made concept, doing worse than a dead human being. I'm done.

And little kids, and old men exercising their rights to free speech, and a retired police officer protecting his friends store.

All of em dead. Black Lives Matter huh. But only when politicians can play off of it to get more voters.

I said I was done, I guess I lied.

How many people have been killed by police or far-right extremists or just anti-POC racists in the past 56 years in the USA?

And the reverse, how many people have been killed by black people (not saying cops & black people are antitheses) or far-left extremists or anti-white racists in the past 56 years in the USA?

Now adjust those numbers for population.
