The weirdest thing about these protests is that the whole point of the protest is against the police. At least that's the trigger for it. As I said Antifa is there for their own reasons and they're not being especially helpful to Black Lives Matter. But given that the trigger for it and at least Black Lives Matter's main issue is the police, the weirdest thing that's coming out of this so far, and fact check me if I'm wrong, are we now seeing the police in lots of different cities being both restrained and really professional and quite effective? Is that what you see? Police shooting tear gas? I haven't seen that. But what do you say? That they're actually doing a pretty darn good job.

So if the protests were supposed to put pressure on the police the weird thing that happened is it made all the protesters look like bad people because of the looting. Now let me say as clearly as I can the percentage of protesters who were actively looting I imagine was very small. Two percent tops. Maybe two percent of the protesters did the looting or defacing property. But the way these things work it ends up smearing the entire operation.

So the protesters are getting their reputation completely smeared by the two percent who were in the looting and whatnot, throwing bricks. But the police are looking really strong, professional, restrained. I haven't seen anything yet, and there should have been a lot of examples of it, but I haven't seen anything yet that strikes me as outrageous police behavior. Now of course there are a lot of cameras there so there's a lot of reason to be on your best behavior but it's a tough situation. Really tough situation. I do not envy the police who are there.

And I have to ask you this question. I wonder if things would have been better with no Antifa because it was the Antifa people breaking windows I think which mostly attracts the police. Then once the police are there Black Lives Matter who is mostly angry at police now have a whole new reason to be angry because they're right there and they're looking threatening.

So it looks like Black Lives Matter is a big loser in this because it accidentally made the police look really professional while making Black Lives look really bad because of these two percent of looters and the Antifa causing trouble.

All right well I'm sure there will be examples of police behaving badly as well because there are a lot of people involved so you can't expect everybody to do a good job.
