The mayors and police departments nipped the insanity in the bud in my region.
Our local thugs started moving in these violent directions but our police (with backing of the mayor) told thugs to to ‘disperse’ BEFORE IT WENT TOO FAR - - and when they didn’t, they were arrested.
That was it. Over before it started - the flame of ignorance and hate didn’t spread.
Police in democrat hellholes could have stopped this too - they have the skill and training - but democrat hellhole mayors wanted the violence...
Same in Syracuse NY.
A Floyd protest was attempted to be highjacked by antifa and the mayor, a political independent, and a Christian, squashed it within hours.
That was the first and the last Syracuse saw of peaceful protests.
The local Dem leadership in the cities certainly encouraged it, and continue to do so by making an exception for the thuggery while locking down everything else due to the virus.
