Study: Up To 95 Percent Of 2020 U.S. Riots Are Linked To Black Lives Matter

Contrary to corporate media narratives, up to 95 percent of this summer’s riots are linked to Black Lives Matter activism, according to data collected by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). The data also show that nearly 6 percent — or more than 1 in 20 — of U.S. protests between May 26 and Sept. 5 involved rioting, looting, and similar violence, including 47 fatalities.

ACLED is a nonprofit organization that tracks conflict across the globe. Its U.S. project that collected the summer protest data is supported by Princeton University. The project’s spreadsheet collating tens of thousands of data points documents 12,045 incidents of U.S. civil unrest from May 26, 2020 to Sept. 5, 2020. May 26 is the day after George Floyd’s death in police custody with enough fentanyl in his system to have died of an overdose if police had never touched him.

Lackey hands report of 95% to Soros.

Soros: Tell our dark friends to improve on that. Close in on 100% or I’m cutting the weekly money. We have a country to take over and I’m not getting any younger.

OK, can anyone tell me what the relationship between Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA is?

But only 93% of all (including anti-mask and anti-lockdown) protests (At least according to an ACLED report called incomplete by “Newsweek” https://www.newsweek.com/blms-mostly-peaceful-93-percent-study-sparks-renewed-propaganda-opinion-1529969) were violent so only 12% of BLM protests turn violent. So as long you aren't (yet) in the 12% area, it's not a big deal.

Why the GOP ever allowed the changing of colors indicating political identification from blue to red never made any sense.I personally never accepted that nor have those waving their BLM or Antifa flags.
