A new Senate report calls out the FBI for lying to Congress about its social media monitoring, pointing out the FBI’s hiring of ZeroFox.

Can stop reading right there.
Just wanted to clarify, I assume you’re being sarcastic? You believe every Black Lives Matter protest was a violent affair? Because that’s pretty verifiably false. Not to mention, not the crux of this article.
This article is about how the FBI lied in court about its social media monitoring capabilities. If you want to spout off unverified theories about how every protest was violent, you could make your own post/community. You could also try actually contributing to the discussion, but of course you don’t have to.
I went to BLM protests and felt unsafe… because of the right wingers who approached me obviously hoping for violence.
A dozen people dead would say otherwise.
Before you get buried in downvotes, would you care to explain what you meant by that?

Cool anecdotal evidence. Here’s hard data with sources:
“Approximately 94% of all pro-BLM demonstrations have been peaceful, with 6% involving reports of violence, clashes with police, vandalism, looting, or other destructive activity.
In the remaining 6%, it is not clear who instigated the violent or destructive activity. While some cases of violence or looting have been provoked by demonstrators, other events have escalated as a result of aggressive government action, intervention from right-wing groups or individual assailants, and car-ramming attacks.”

Exclusive: $1 billion-plus riot damage is most expensive in insurance history
The vandalism and looting following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police will cost the insurance industry more than any other violent demonstrations in recent history
The most damaging riots in history constitutes a bit more than ‘anecdotal evidence’.
