The Koreans in L.A. knew to arm up then open fire on the thugs. L.A. didn’t bother to keep track of how many were killed.
Just my opinion but seemed to me that the police ceded downtown to McKInney Ave to the protesters. The had areas east of 75 and west of 35 under control with the exception of Deep Ellum. One example was the obvious staging of a mob around Cityplace (Target is an anchor) complete with white boys with molotov cocktails. At the time they were able to prevent that action.
Threats to neighborhoods north of Uptown never became a reality.
There are multiple areas in Dallas that have substantial black populations that did not see any violence.
Like many I suspect this is antifa driven.
