And our side needs to push back hard on that ridiculous argument and stop ceding the ground to dangerous foolishness. Trump’s White Supremacist gangs are killing people and he needs to be called out for encouraging violence.

You are so right. The rioting does not help our side at all — and as mentioned here, I’ve participated in FB discussions with those who think that somehow they are serving their cause by looting. Protesters are very frustrated that police continue to commit crimes against people of color with impunity and nothing seems to change. But at this juncture, violence serves only to help Trump and the GOP — and they are doing everything in their power to promote further unrest.
