The links between between the white power movement in America and ethnonationalists from Europe is pretty well documented. That's not to say they're "behind it" or anything, just that those relationships exist.

Nope. Protest is scheduled in downtown Elizabeth tomorrow - about 15 minutes from me.

Huh? The rioting is pretty well documented here and elsewhere. Not sure how that justifies police violence against peaceful protestors.

That ******* hasn't paid me yet either, I'm starting to wonder what the hell that guys problem is.
This isn’t the court of law and stuff like this happens specifically because of the chaos. That such bad actors are involved is significant and has been demonstrated.
I didn’t say anything of police violence.

A target went up in flames, so I guess it's totally cool for police to *checks notes* shoot rubber bullets at people sitting on their porch, fire at clearly identified members of the press, trample a woman with a horse, and plow into crowds with their vehicles.
I'm sure these heavy handed tactics will help to calm down the protests against police violence.

I'm sorry, what was your point supposed to be then?
If you head back to page 1, I was the first person to mention that I didn’t even believe this was largely those African American communities burning stuff down. This was back when everyone was saying “OMG, we all need to just listen to what the black community is telling us through this” and had the subtle racism of attributing all these acts (that said individuals were troubled with anyway, despite their exterior) to the black communities. But when it indeed came out that it was a bunch of white people, as I mentioned, people feel a better easing of the cognitive dissonance by just chalking it up to white nationalists.

The video you responded to was about police violence, so if your question didn't have anything to do with that why did you respond to it?
You were posting a picture of a guy saying “hey, look, this guy looks like a white supremacist.” My point was to look at the plethora of footage out there of white people destroying property and assaulting people and tell me how confident you are that these aren’t hard leftists thinking they’re doing some kind of service for minorities.
I didn’t respond to any video about police violence. Go look again. I was responding to the arrest of the 25 year old in Tennessee.

Oh crap, I'm the ******* here sorry. I didn't expand the response and thought you wrote that in response to the video I posted.
My bad dude.
No worries. I didn’t want anyone walking away with the impression I’ve said something I haven’t.

Yeah for sure, I don't blame you for that one bit.
As for who's largely behind the destruction and rioting I don't think we have a clear picture at all because it's such a cluster ****. Having watched ten or fifteen hours of live footage of the various protests/riots I can safely say I've seen destruction caused by people actually protesting the death of George Floyd, I've seen what appear to be people dressed up like black bloc anarchists causing mayhem, and some right wing "Boogaloo bois" as well.
