AJW, the author, said that people shouldn't be burning things down or celebrating the person before all the facts are in. Sounds reasonable to me that protestors might wait until some facts are known first before rioting, and AJW is not making a blanket statement here about all police shootings or saying that it's fine that George Floyd was killed or whatever other nonsense Boru might want you to believe with his concrete claims of racism after watching 30 seconds of video. AJWs point was, I believe, that in cases such as this one, as well as cases such as the Mike Brown one where we were fed lies about "hands up, don't shoot", which was a complete fabrication, that maybe people should be a little more sure about what they're protesting about and actually know the details before going off.
‘…we could be on the cusp of another Black Lives Matter myth that puts all innocent people in the area in danger. Because as we well know, it is genuinely legitimate civil rights activism to destroy neighboring businesses, burn things down, trash your area…’
Since only a tiny, tiny fraction of BLM posters engaged in that behaviour, it is racist - pure and simple - to attribute that behaviour to the entire movement. He’s a racist, and you’re a racist for promoting his racist viewpoint.
