    Black Lives Matter had daily protests for months. And in a couple instances involved taking over parts of cities and burning down police stations. And, for at least a little while, it resulted in positive changes to police policy.

    I don’t know why people just seem to memory-hole BLM when complaining about the toothlessness of American protesters. Occupy was child’s play compared to BLM.

      Like what? What did burning down a police building do? Aside from give fodder to the racist douchebags.

      I wonder how many of the people who protested are “both sides” folks who don’t vote.
