Actual video evidence is not bias, it’s fact.
If he went looking for op eds about BLM violence you would have a point But the video evidence is fact not feelings or bias.

Not on a daily basis to the extend we see it on the left, no. It would be years old and/or not to the extent we are seeing right now.

Well, when trying to prove a point about right wing violence, you had to bring up Timothy McVeigh from 30 years so I doubt it.
Right wing violence actually kills people left wing violence is just breaking things

Last week he said he would support the movement of it weren’t for these videos. My contention was that he didn’t support the moment so he searches for videos that confirm his bias. 93% of protests are peaceful. He doesn’t post any peaceful protest videos just the small percent of ugly things that happen

Dumbest statement you have ever made.
Are you trying to say that no one has died during these riots over the last few months?

If someone is a part of the "defund the police" part of the movement, I believe they have the moral responsibility to do something about the 7%.

No I didn’t say that. How many? It’s still a loooonnnggg way to go to catch up to right wing violence

False.
Beyond that, the current radical leftist violence is more than just violence; it is anarchy; it is subversion; it is an attempt to destroy our systems and institutions. In response to this, violence may be necessary and warranted to quell such an uprising. We'll see.

93%....that's an interesting number. Not 90%, not 95%. 93%, that's what we're saying? Well, maybe if everyone does they're best, they can get that number up to 94% this weekend. At my high school, that was the difference between an A- and an A.
It seemed like not long ago that number was 99.9%.

Lol wut?
Can we go back (like we did for fireman in the 1800's) to opting out of public service? For example if you are a former TV child star who thinks it is ok for grown ass men to sniff children's hair and wants to defund the police, would it be ok to exempt them from the police responding to said persons 911 call?

I didn't think you pulled it out of a hat. But doesn't 93% sound like a funny number for something like this? Funny not because it is a good or bad amount of violence. But funny because someone is actually trying to quantify something that has not concrete meaning? It's like saying 93% of people are good.

Is it 93% of PROTESTS are peaceful, or 93% of PROTESTORS? Because if it's the latter, and I believe it is, that means something closer to 100% of protests AREN'T "peaceful".
I mean, this is pretty much exactly what Trump said about "good people on both sides" that triggered everyone on the left.

I believe they did try to quantify it
There’s a white supremacy group who has protested in downtown Columbus once a month for the last several years. It’s always a bunch of dbags marching around with signs in front of the statehouse. They are peaceful 100% of the time. If they decide to kill someone in their next protest they could just say look we’ve had 100 protests and only one had violence so we’re peaceful 99% of the time. But when that happens your not going to see people going out of their way to defend the protesters and point out 99% of the time they are peac

You sure? I get what your saying but it would still be factually correct that 99 percent of their protests were peaceful

So the cop that got shot may have been hit by one of the other cops in the Breyona Taylor case 🤦♀️
Yeah it’s a useless stat. It’s also not fair to compare a three person BLM event in Pataskala, Ohio to a BLM event in Seattle and compare them equally.

I mean we can’t conclude either way bc of damage to the round it sounds like

My point is that they're trying to quantify something that is arbitrary, has not context, etc. It's like saying 93% of the people in the world are funny.

In the lower thread they get into the type of wound the cop had being more consistent with a close range shot. The cops didn’t test for gun residue and also are trying to distance themselves from also having 9 mm guns that day.

could be confused: 99.96% .........that's the covid survival rate.
