So what happened to social distancing and masks? Is Covid not that serious?

Some protesters are wearing masks, but it's by no means the majority.


A large group of people walking down the street with random improvised weapons is not peaceful.

Neither is cutting off a pigs head, putting it on an American flag, putting a cops hat on it, and lighting it on fire.

How is blocking the streets, carrying shields, and hiding your identity with facemasks a "peaceful" protest?

The article says "significantly reduced tensions", not absence.

Either way, BLM is already marked for life as a violent marxist organization, discredited by many black leaders, and rightly so.
