Again you're using a strawman. Please stop replying to me. You are now comparing a riot where people got killed to a protest. Again, this is not what I am talking about nor is it what the OP's article is talking about. They are talking about a regular protest, not one where someone got killed or the capital was taken over.

Also you decided to focus on a single line of my post and your argument is a strawman. If you're going to engage in a discussion at least be genuine about it rather than letting your political bias derail a good conversation we could have had.

> Left-wing protestors are 10X as likely to be arrested than the right. That inequality upsets you too, right?

And don't use stupid stats like this. This does not upset me because you are inferring causation from statistical data that supports your bias. I could draw a different conclusion and say that the left are 10x as violent and thus arrested 10x as much. However I am not going to infer the cause of such stats as I don't know that is the reason, nor do you.

You should try and be a bit more open minded and not let your bias affect your ability to look at statistics online. Just because a stat says something, doesn't mean it immediately supports your cause. It may just mean further research is needed to determine what is the actual cause.

PROTESTing the removal of the statue of General Lee was the stated goal of the murderous Unite the Right protest.

PROTESTing the outcome of the 2020–21 U.S. election was the stated goal of the murderous Capitol protest.

The self-proclaimed protests that prove you wrong are suddenly not protests anymore? Once you learn what a strawman is, google "moving the goalposts."

I provided two examples where murderous right-wing protests were monitored and recorded by police, completely contradicting the idea that "I doubt we would see any news articles about it."

You've provided zero examples to support that blind speculation.

    don't use stupid stats like this

The stats that you didn't read already made this argument for you:

    Explanations that rest solely on the conservative politics and culture of the police...neglect the ways political systems, identities and organizations shape interactions between police and protesters

...but--my confirmation bias! How embarrassing, I can understand why you had to dodge the question.
