ABC’s Sunny Hostin: ‘BLM Protests Are Not Violent At All, It Is A False Narrative Manufactured By The Trump Campaign’
The Conservative Room ^ | 9/14/2020 | CN Head Author

Posted on 09/15/2020 12:58:33 PM PDT by Zenyatta

During Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin said that President Trump’s campaign was “manufacturing” a false narrative that Black Lives Matter protest were violent.

She actually recognizes them as ‘peaceful’ protests and all the chaos is being pushed by Trump and his administration… Pathetic!

Talking about the two Los Angeles Country deputies being ambushed and shot in Compton, Hostin said:

“I want to say that there’s no place for people to go and shoot officers that are sitting in their cars. My heart goes out to their families and their friends. I was so horrified to hear about that. I have so many officers in my family, and that are friends of mine.”

“You know, my understanding is that according to a new Fox News poll, more voters classified BLM protests as riots rather than protests,” she continued.

“That’s scary because it’s feeding into the narrative that the Trump campaign has been putting out there. If you really look at the facts, 93% of protests are nonviolent, nonviolent,” she claimed.

93% of my grandfathers time with allied forces in France was peaceful, I suspect. Perhaps more.

Only intermittent gunfire, shelling, and bombs.

Radio news coverage sounded very familiar going back to when the same stuff was happening in New York .Where cops were being murdered as the aftermath of Obama using the Zimmerman trial and the Bully Pulpit creating racial division defending resisting arrests which resulted racial attacks on innocents traversing black neighborhoods and attacks on police officers.

Those so called “protesters” at the hospital in this should be considered accomplices and also held responsible.

Hah! You lie, you Trump-whitish dude!
“I” know for a fact-check truth that more than 90% of that innocent protester being burned by the white supremacist elite pigs was NOT EVEN ON FIRE when the picture was taken of his heroic deeds resisting and protesting Donald Trump as a vicious racist white nationalist!

If the TEA party gatherings had been any less than 100% peaceful, ABC would have been singing a very different tune.
Oh, wait. They did anyway.

"93% of protests are nonviolent, nonviolent"

"93% of protests are organizing and staging, for the ensuing riots."

The ambush shooting of those two Police Officers was more than 93% peaceful - almost entirely.

Trump supporters make a big deal out of the very few seconds in which shots were fired, as if that somehow matters more than many hours of completely peaceful planning, preparation and stalking. (end sarcasm)

note Dutch involved in ACLED:

5 Sept: Time Mag: 93% of Black Lives Matter Protests Have Been Peaceful, New Report Finds
By Sanya Mansoor
U.S.-based ACLED is funded by the State Department’s Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations as well as foreign governments and other organizations, including the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Tableau Foundation, the International Organization for Migration, and The University of Texas at Austin. It relied on data collection from the U.S. Crisis Monitor — a joint project led by ACLED and Princeton University’s Bridging Divides Initiative...
https://time.com/5886348/report-peaceful-protests/

a Dutch tale worth reading at the following:

14 Sept: National Review: On Surviving the Twitter Mob
By Leon de Winter (writer and columnist based in the Netherlands)
Eight days ago, in a piece titled “Nearly all Black Lives Matter protests are peaceful despite Trump narrative, report finds,” the Guardian reported that “the vast majority of the thousands of Black Lives Matter protests this summer have been peaceful, with more than 93% involving no serious harm to people or damage to property, according to a new report tracking political violence in the United States.”...

The report on which the Guardian article was based was conceived by some academics at Princeton University. They examined 7,750 demonstrations that took place across the U.S. under the flag of Black Lives Matter between May 26 and August 22. Their conclusion was just as the Guardian said: 93 percent of the demonstrations were peaceful.
Do the math, and you find this means that 542 demonstrations during that three-month period were not peaceful. But to the report’s authors and the Guardian, this must have seemed beside the point: The phrase “despite Trump narrative” in the piece’s headline was what needed to be communicated; the misrepresentation of the underlying statistics was just a means to that end.

And the gambit worked! I happened to listen to a radio program in the Netherlands, where I now live, and the participants did exactly what the Guardian and the Princeton researchers must have hoped: They used it as evidence that Trump’s narrative about the violence of the demonstrations was deceitful. After all, only 7 percent of the protests could be described as violent, and seven is almost equal to zero, isn’t it?...
https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/on-surviving-the-twitter-mob/

Media is truly the enemy:

12 Sept: Las Vegas Review-Journal: VICTOR JOECKS: Media hold police, BLM to vastly different standards
Earlier this month, a study found that fewer than 7 percent of the protests connected to the Black Lives Matter movement engaged in violence or destructive activity. The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project conducted the research. Based on its findings, it declared that BLM was “an overwhelmingly peaceful movement.”
The media took that part of the report and ran with it...

The study contained additional details as well. It identified nearly 570 violent demonstrations, which have taken place in around 220 locations. Keep those numbers in mind as you read this brief overview of the media’s coverage of violence over the past four months...

When it comes to protesters, the national mainstream media have made their standard clear. Hundreds of instances of violence in just a few months aren’t enough evidence to disparage the larger group with which some of the lawbreakers identify...

almost no MSM reported the number of violent protests. they focused on the 220 “locations” where violence occurred. some even claimed only 220 protests were violent!

6 Sept: Heavy.com: Clara Kraebber: Student Charged in Riot During BLM Protest
According to a report compiled by produced by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project, a nonprofit group, around 93 percent of the protests in America were nonviolent, The Washington Post reported. Most of the demonstrations were related to the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Protests throughout the country kicked off at the end of May after the death of George Floyd. Since then, there have been 7,750 protests from May to August 22, 2020, with ***220 of them becoming “violent,” the report found...

7 Sept: news.com.au: Study says Black Lives Matter protests ‘93 per cent peaceful’
A Princeton study examining the Black Lives Matter protests has been widely mocked for not exactly making the point its authors had intended.
by Frank Chung
The report from the US Crisis Monitor, a collaboration between the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project and Princeton’s Bridging Divides Initiative...
The authors went on to blame right-wing “infiltrators” for some occasions where protests did turn violent, while also condemning a “violent government response”.
Conservatives lined up to mock the study...

“Princeton University group studies three months of Black Lives Matter protests. Intent is to show they are ‘overwhelmingly peaceful’. But report reveals nearly 570 violent demonstrations – riots – in nearly 220 locations spread all across country,” Byron York from the Washington Examiner tweeted.

Radio host Mark Levin wrote, “So far, BLM responsible for nearly 570 riots in 220 locations across the country.”...

Left-leaning media outlets have consistently attempted to downplay the violence, while right-wing media have focused heavily on the issue, which US President Donald Trump has seized on as a major election theme.

CNN was recently mocked for an on-screen chyron describing riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin as “fiery but mostly peaceful”.

ABC News used similarly language to describe riots in California where a courthouse was set on fire, saying a “peaceful demonstration intensified”.

Conservatives are now sarcastically using the phrase “93 per cent peaceful” to describe more violent scenes, including Black Lives Matter protesters attacking diners at restaurants in Rochester, New York over the weekend...

compares police response to BLM protests in Australia to the police response to anti-lockdown protesters:

VIDEO: 7m: 11 Sept: Sky News Australia: Andrew Bolt: Victoria is a ‘basket case’
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Victoria has demonstrated there is increasingly one law for the peaceful and another for the dangerous.
It comes after a large Black Lives Matter protest recently went ahead in Melbourne despite being banned by the state’s virus laws; no attendees were arrested or charged by Victoria Police.

Victorian Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton defended the decisions saying “the most significant thing to remember back then … we had around the world cities that were burning, we had protests that were violent.
“We made a decision here that our priority was public order … we had significant concerns that we would have that type of mayhem in Melbourne,” Mr Patton said.

“There seems to be one law for the peaceful and another for the dangerous,” Mr Bolt said. “The easier you are to bully around because you are a law-abiding, nice person … the more your freedoms are actually in danger.
“The state where this is most obvious … is Victoria.
“It really is a basket case … it’s madness there.”
