  These individuals experience the height of privilege and are co-opting peaceful demonstrations that were organized by and meant to center people of color, particularly Black Americans.

  Can you also acknowledge that much of it has been instigated by police, including in Seattle? We've seen the videos and heard the reports from numerous trustworthy protesters: cops have been the reason why protests get out of control.

  You're right! It's being perpetuated by the streams of WHITE POLICE OFFICERS IN DOWNTOWN.

  You gave a 14 minute warning via Twitter before authorizing more force and arrests yesterday, then instituted a curfew. Today, you managed a whole half hour of warning! That's progress, well done. So proud that you're the status quo neolib backing the police instead of us.
