Yes, there's a video of a BLM protester saying that, after years and years of white supremacist groups pushing them down, counter-protesting their riots, hiding behind police shouting racial epithets and racial slurs.
93% of all protests (approx 7,700 protests were recorded, of which 220 were violent) were actually peaceful.

BLM has never been the bully. White Supremacy, Far-Right extremists and excessive use of force by police is the bully.

Current DHS leaders also have acknowledged the lethality of white supremacist extremists.
“I have no qualms criticizing the white supremacy threat,” said Ken Cuccinelli, DHS’s second-in-command, in a recent interview on MSNBC. “Neither does the secretary, neither does the Department of Homeland Security. We recognize when those people act out violently, that they show the highest level of lethality, meaning if you compare the number of violent incidents to the numbers of deaths, the numbers of deaths relative to the incidents is very high compared to other types of threats."
If you wanted to avoid these riots, instead of protesting the violence of BLM, you should've been looking far, further to the right. Patriot Prayer, Proud Boys, etc.
They are evil.
Well there was one guy in Utah who wanted to make peace with BLM, Kudos to him. They reached an understanding and saw past the bullshit.
