And there's the rub- they're protesting about treatment by cops, but they sometimes need the cops.
Yeah, they are dangerous- a car was torched at a dealership two blocks from my house, squad cars were damaged and they broke into one to steal the rifle- all on the same night. That wasn't the extent of the damage, but it's the damage that concerns me because it was too close. A few nights later, a long line of cars drove East on a main thoroughfare that's two blocks to the South- I can close my windows to block some of the noise from honking horns, but I was also listening to the police scanner app to find out what was happening in more detail. Gunfire, driving like total A-Holes, carjacking, crashes, shoplifting (which are completely out of control) all happened at the same time. Lots of the cars had BLM flags and markings on the windows.
BTW- check your insurance policies- they don't cover 'civil unrest' or 'civil disobedience' (whatever the particular insurer calls it) nor can it be purchased, according to Allstate.
People bitch about White flight- I just want some peace & quiet and to keep my stuff. I lived in the city- it was dirty, noisy, people didn't take care of their houses, I lost a lot of things, someone tried to break into the house where I lived and a murder occurred a block away. I left that crap, not the people.
