"Contrary to corporate media narratives, up to 95 percent of this summer’s riots are linked to Black Lives Matter activism, according to data collected by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). The data also show that nearly 6 percent — or more than 1 in 20 — of U.S. protests between May 26 and Sept. 5 involved rioting, looting, and similar violence, including 47 fatalities.

ACLED is a nonprofit organization that tracks conflict across the globe. Its U.S. project that collected the summer protest data is supported by Princeton University. The project’s spreadsheet collating tens of thousands of data points documents 12,045 incidents of U.S. civil unrest from May 26, 2020 to Sept. 5, 2020. May 26 is the day after George Floyd’s death in police custody with enough fentanyl in his system to have died of an overdose if police had never touched him."

imo, for the record, social "science" has no basis in science and fails to consistently use scientific methods. Sociology is not valid science; it is a politically correct and biased religion.

    It seems like Pullman makes the point that it's post hoc ergo propter hoc to blame riots on law enforcement. Then she does the exact same thing with BLM. I suspect much of the crime is criminal opportunists going where there is already a disturbance of any sort. If this is correct, they'd be there at night after any large demonstration, regardless of what the demonstration was about. As Pullman right says in the article, "The cause of violence is the people who have chosen to be violent."

      Keep trying to hide the truth, CG.
      It's the only hope for left socialists like you and Soros since reality continually exposes their puerile comments as intentional disinformation.
