Black Lives Matter Linked To 91% Of Riots Over Three Months, Study Finds
https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/17/black-lives-matter-riots-study-data-princeton/
The Black Lives Matter movement is linked to more than nine-in-ten riots across the country, according to a recent study.
The U.S. experienced 637 riots between May 26 and Sept. 12, and 91% of those riots were linked to the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the US Crisis Monitor, a joint project of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project and the Bridging Divides Initiative at Princeton University.
Forty-nine states, not counting Washington, D.C., experienced riots during that time period, the study found. California led the nation with 86 riots during that time, closely followed by Oregon with 79 riots during that time period, the data show.
Seven percent of Black Lives Matter-linked events have turned violent, according to the data.
The project defined “riots” as “demonstrations in which any demonstrators engage in violently disruptive or destructive acts (e.g. violence, looting, vandalism, etc.), as well as mob violence in which violent mobs target other individuals, property, businesses, or other groups.”
Black Lives Matter-linked events were defined as: “demonstrations that have a local BLM group involved; when the main issue of the demonstration concerns the police killing of a specific Black person (e.g. George Floyd, Breonna Taylor; when the main issue of the demonstration concerns police brutality against Black people in general; or when the demonstration is in solidarity with the movement in the USA against police brutality against Black people.”
Black Lives Matter Global Network, the national arm of Black Lives Matter, has seen an explosion in financial support from celebrities and large corporations since George Floyd died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, according to video of the May 25 incident.
Black Lives Matter Chicago organizer Ariel Atkins last month equated looting with “reparations.”
“I don’t care if someone decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike store, because that makes sure that person eats,” Atkins said. “That makes sure that person has clothes. That is reparations.”
Black Lives Matter New York leader Hawk Newsome downplayed rioting in an April interview with Fox News. “I think that it is a tool of white supremacy to say if you want freedom, then you get it by protesting peacefully,” he said.
In another interview with Fox News in June, Newsome said, “I don’t condone nor do I condemn rioting.”
Black Lives Matter Global Network didn’t return a request for comment.

riots during protests linked to protests??? Whaaa?
Please tell me about 100% of counter protests being linked to protests.
Go read the source material at the U.S. crisis monitor. Only a small fraction of the riots had any presence of counter protestors. This is all on BLM and ANTIFA.
Point missed
Let's see who BLM is in bed with...
Black Lives Matter co-founder teams up with pro-Chinese Communist Party group
https://nypost.com/2020/09/17/blm-co-founder-teams-up-with-pro-chinese-communist-party-group/
A “trained Marxist” founder of Black Lives Matter has teamed up on a new venture with a pro-Chinese Communist Party organization.
Alicia Garza is now behind the advocacy group Black Futures Lab, which is backed by the Chinese Progressive Association, according to the website.
The group says it “gathers information about the ways that policy affects black communities” to educate and challenge lawmakers.
On a page soliciting donations, the group is described as a “fiscally sponsored project of the Chinese Progressive Association.”
The Black Futures Lab didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the partnership.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors once described herself and Garza as “trained Marxists.”
“We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk,” Cullors said in the interview with Jared Ball of The Real News Network.
The Chinese Progressive Association describes itself as working to “build collective power with other oppressed communities to demand better living and working conditions and justice for all people.”
But the group has ties to the People’s Republic of China, where there’s been a history of mistreatment of black people.
Recently, there were reports of xenophobia against Africans living in Guangzhou who were subject during the pandemic to random coronavirus testing or quarantined for 14 days in their homes, despite having no symptoms or contact with known patients, CNN reported.
The US State Department issued an advisory in May noting that law enforcement in China had ordered bars and restaurants not to serve people who appear to be of African origin.
“The US Consulate General advises African-Americans or those who believe Chinese officials may suspect them of having contact with nationals of African countries to avoid the Guangzhou metropolitan area until further notice,” the advisory said.
The Chinese Progressive Association, however, has held events with and supporting the government.
The group, which has been repeatedly praised by state-run media, backed raising the Chinese flag over Boston’s City Hall last year to celebrate the anniversary of the Communist Party’s takeover of China, and held a joint event with the People’s Republic of China to help Chinese nationals renew their passports, the Washington Times reported.
