Calling them rioters is underscoring what they are doing. They are using coordinated military style tactics, offensive weapons to attack and injure police officers, and prevent law enforcement from protecting themselves and property . These people are insurgents trying to cause enough chaos to topple our government, but they hide behind the peaceful protester meme created and furthered by our media.
Yes. I think you meant to say “understating” not “underscoring,” though. Agree with you completely.
