Black lives matter, and that should include the lives tragically lost in the riots following the horrific police killing of George Floyd. The riots have destroyed black lives, black livelihoods, and black monuments. As Black Lives Matter activists continue to repeat the names of unarmed black men and women killed by police, Americans should respond with the litany of victims killed in the George Floyd riots.

Some of these victims died at the hands of police, but in every case, the riots created the tense situations that led to their deaths. Left-leaning commentators continue to insist the protests were “mostly peaceful,” and it is true that the vast majority of people in the streets — especially during the day — were peaceful protesters. However, many instigators used large crowds as an opportunity to loot, vandalize, and destroy. Portland journalist Andy Ngo has explained how antifa instigators weaponize such situations, and some “Boogaloo” extremists may have done the same.

While the protests were peaceful, extensive riots across America emphatically were not. These riots came with a death toll of at least 21 people.

Say their names!

..Some of these victims died at the hands of police..

Stopped reading right there. Screw your apologist rant. Riots, because of a lawful police action, result in death?

I have to go wash my hair..

Never have so many people been killed over one crackhead.

They should have stopped the violence, these deaths make the whole business of mostly peaceful protests a sad joke. This is hooliganism, nothing more. It’s all about Democrat politics, period.
