How do you know they're Democrats? The news has shown most protestors wearing masks. None of the police are.
They are no longer "protestors" once they start destroying the property of others. They might be wearing masks to hide their identities, not out of concern about the virus.
Dr. King once said, "A riot is the language of the unheard."
The mayor of Atlanta disagrees with you:
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms delivered an emotional plea during a news conference with civil rights leaders Friday night, imploring protesters to “go home” as violence and vandalism erupted in her city. ““This is not a protest,” Bottoms said. “This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. This is chaos.”

Remarks like this just force me to ask: How many black men must die at the hands of the police before it becomes reasonable for the black community to become, shall we say, vexed?
The killer was arrested and charged, yet the rioting and looting continue. How many innocent people must have their property destroyed before the "protest" becomes "wrong?"

How many Colin Kaepernicks have to lose their job and get blackballed before the black community becomes entitled to decide that non-violent actions just aren't getting it done?
He didn't "lose his job." He was a lousy QB who walked away from his job and took bad advice from his gf.

How much more should we expect our brothers and sisters to take before we give them the same rights we gave the folks who mounted an armed protest because they were being asked to wear masks?
How much of innocent people's property did those "armed protesters" destroy?

How much is enough?
You tell me. How many millions of dollars of innocent people's property must be destroyed to make up for this heinous killing?
