New data from Princeton University shows that riots associated with the Black Lives Matter movement took place in 48 out of the 50 largest cities in the United States.
The study found:
In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations, meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests.Mainstream media seized on the data last week to argue that the “Trump narrative” of violent demonstrations was false. The study itself speculated that public perceptions of riots were skewed by “political orientation and biased media framing” and “disproportionate coverage of violent demonstrations.”

However, public perceptions may simply have reflected the wide geographic distribution of the violence.
The Princeton data set shows that nearly every major city in the United States experienced riots from late May to the end of August — even under the narrow definition that the study used to classify riots (as separate from events described as police violence against protesters).
The only exceptions within the top 50 cities by population were Fresno, California, and Mesa, Arizona.
Thus in the public imagination, the proportion that matters most may not be the 7% of protests that were violent, but the 96% of major urban areas that experienced rioting.
Within the largest 100 cities by population, 74 experienced riots.

It’s next to a shit hole...but we are good.
I just noticed something.. The riot map looks like the CoVid map at it peek.. fancy that!
Only 48 because the other two elected republicans.
he did say he wanted an alternate army didn’t he?
The last time burnlootmurder even TRIED to get one of their riots started here in the Dallas area they were met by 300 armed patriots who were having none of that.
Interestingly when they saw their riot would be smothered they chose NOT to just peacefully protest. And NOT b/c they were afraid of the patriots.
We ain’t gonna let what happened when those cops were shot happen again.

>>> Does the percentage matter?
Yes and no.
Remember the study by Princeton Univ is trying to “prove” the enemediots’ narrative “mostly peaceful protests”. ===> their results seems to show > 93% of the demonstration is peaceful. And of course enemediots jumped on the study findings as evidence to back up their narrative and use it as a political tool to ‘combat Trump’s false claim’.
Breitbart article showed that almost all violence and riots occurring in deep blue areas all over the country. Check out #38 post showing the distribution of the map.
The Democrats, if that is what they are...thugs hired to protest, crossing state lines....The Democrats/liberals encouraged this...Obama “Get in their faces...”...it is more organized now with Community Organizers being trained al la the Obama’s OFA joining BLM/Marxist, antifa, those organizations OWN the riots...they are paid Bullies, criminally involved in mass destruction of the middle class, largely the Tax Base of the cities torn apart....Democrat Mayor de Blasio has single handed ruined the once Great City of New York.
