What a load of crap.
These so called protests are nothing more than a small handful of people who are mad, and a bunch of other people who have nothing better to do following them. You ask the majority of the "protesters" and they won't know the names of the people the protest is supposed to be about. I heard about this from a friend facebook or twitter or snapchat and it sounded like something neat to do.
The more and more the media and people like you focus and publicize this negative crap, the worse everything becomes. If you really want to make the country and world a better place, take your long winded posting and write about all the people who have been donating their time and money to help the people of Houston and Florida regardless of race. Write about people giving their time and money to help homeless and our veterans. The events that are getting chosen to be publicized is not accidental, they are specifically chosen by the media to perpetuate a political narrative. And you fall right in line like a good lemming.
I guess that is the difference between us. You go out and look for what you think is bad and concentrate on the hate and keep that flowing. I look for the good of the people and country and try to keep that flowing. What I pay forward is a lot more beneficial than the hate you keep perpetuating.

You should take this guys advice.
What a world you live in were groups of people can all be classified as the same. I personally know around a dozen people [BTW 2 that were there the first night; just got to Key West Today] that have participated in the St. Louis protests at least one day, ergo, you are 100% wrong! The crowd is 99+% peaceful and well aware of the issues at hand and well aware of the facts that sparked this particular protest. Sure there are some that fit your classification and some are downright criminal thugs waiting for an opportunity. BTW, not every Colonist was pure at heart either.
One can protest police violence AND feed and provide shelter for the poor AND stop by a lawmakers office from gutting healthcare or a free internet.
If the police violence issue is real, and you can know that it is not; your position is amoral and heinous, right?
And answer the question what gives you the right to decide who and what can be protested?
