The word "riot" is mentioned only once in the article, in relation to riot gear. Why is there no mention of the many riots the movement is responsible for, causing more than $1 billion in damage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:38A0:8540:40A8:399A:CFF9:5CF ( talk) 23:07, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
A company called Property Claim Services (PCS) has tracked insurance claims related to civil disorder since 1950.
PCS, a unit of Verisk Analytics, won't reveal an exact dollar figure from this year's violence because it wants to sell that data to clients.
Making a false insurance claim is a crime.
The numbers are safely assumed accurate.
It'd be on you to prove the riots enumerated are NOT BLM

At the end of the Timeline of notable events section, change the sentence: "From May 22 to August 22, there were more than 10,600 BLM protest events in the United States." to: "Of more than 10,600 protests in the United States from May 22 to August 22, over 80% were related to BLM or Covid-19." The first sentence misreports the data in its source, which isn't more specific than the sentence I provided. If you don't like the new sentence since it's not very specific or useful, a different source could be found or the sentence could be removed entirely. Either way, the current sentence is incorrect.

Under it it says that about half of the people shot and killed by police are white people and a quarter of the people shot and killed are black people. Yet, it says after this that there are twice as many black people shot than white people.

But BLM took it down after it was criticized by conservatives. Primary source: https://web.archive.org/web/20200229224723/https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/ Secondary source: https://www.foxnews.com/us/blm-deletes-page-disruption-nuclear-family And here's some info from the New York Times: We know the statistics – that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it. I'd like this wikipedia article to address why an organization that claims to care about black lives wants to get rid of the nuclear family, when the evidence from the New York Times shows how harmful that has already been to black people.

"We do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia, in particular, are trained organizers; we are trained Marxists. We are superversed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think what we really try to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many Black folks." Source: https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/jul/21/black-lives-matter-marxist-movement/ I think this quote should be included in the article. I think the article should explain why an organization called "Black Lives Matter" supports a policy that has created nothing but death, misery, and famine in every country where it has ever been adopted. Far more black lives have been murdered by Marxist governments than by the police in democratic countries. I'd like the article to address these points. Baxter329 ( talk) 02:28, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

For the most obvious reasons I think the majority of people can agree that BLM is a movement however no one can deny that violence, arson, property damage, and anarchy were a recurring aspect in 2020 after the death of George Floyd. I don't understand why this isn't mentioned in the article, are the editors of Wikipedia in complete denial of criminal acts committed by BLM activists? Or do the editors have a biased leftist agenda when it comes to certain controversial topics like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paok117 ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
I wouldn’t really call them “peaceful protesters” tbh they nearly burnt Minneapolis to the ground had it not been for the US national guard being deployed to stop the rioters the city would have been destroyed. They also caused $2 billion dollars worth of property damage in June 2020 alone. What is the definition of a “reliable source” btw it sounds pretty biased and censors media publications and tabloids that aren’t aligned with the political left. I’m not going to provide a reference for a news article about this because it will be discredited and censored. Paok117 ( talk) 06:31, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
More than 500 shops and restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul have reported damage when protests on five nights turned violent over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Dozens of properties burned to the ground. Owners and insurance experts estimate the costs of the damage could exceed $500 million.

June 27, 2020 The under-construction affordable housing development that burned in the widespread violence in south Minneapolis late Wednesday and early Thursday was to be a six-story rental building with 198 apartments for low-income renters, including more than three dozen for very low-income tenants. Construction began last fall on Midtown Corner, which was expected to be completed and ready for occupancy this year. Late Wednesday the wood-framed upper floors of the building were fully engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of smoke that figured prominently in widely viewed photos of the riots. By Thursday morning, what had been an active construction site was reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes atop what was left of the concrete first-floor commercial space.

I did indeed read said articles, the three sources you provided me were three of the most liberal publications available. Yet when I provide a variety of sources, both corporate and personal, domestic and international, you claim I am cherry-picking? In regard to your apologist sources, they dismiss any and all accusations of antisemitism as fringe groups of people involved in said protests, denying the fact that they held such beliefs, instead turning to their endorsements from Jewish advocacy groups. In your own "PolitiFact" sources, even the TLDR section states the discontent many Jews feel towards the movement. This is specifically in the graffiti and defamation which occurs during riots. And, while leaders may downplay Anti-Semitic acts, it most certainly does not speak for the group as a whole. My point in making this thread was to point out the controversies surrounding BLM. I didn't come to argue with you, rather state the obvious. My feeling here is that you are more concerned with defending BLM than including the factual information, which is the controversy surrounding how many Jews feel towards BLM rhetoric. To say there is no tension between BLM and Jewish-Americans would imply there to be little or no mention of the phenomena in major news outlets. But there is. Therefore, we must only assume there is precedence for people seeking answers on the topic. Wikipedia's job is to document a full catalogue on a particular topic, controversies very much included. The fact we are even having this conversation right now and were both able to pull from mainstream news sources to defend are case is, in fact, evidence of controversy. I am sorry you may not feel the same way as me, but I respect your right to your own opinions. However, Wikipedia is not your opinion piece, as I mentioned it is to serve as a guide to a topic, and a branch to other sources. To ignore this controversy over one of the biggest movements in history in favor of your own political beliefs is a disservice to the platform, and the reader. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FactChecker200000 ( talk • contribs)

I added the following numbers.
Let the readers make up their own minds if this is "mostly peaceful."
After the George Floyd protests, an estimate by the company Property Claim Services, obtained by the news website Axios, estimated that nationwide, the cost of property damage from arson, vandalism and looting would "result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims." [1]

At the end of the Timeline of notable events section, change the sentence: "From May 22 to August 22, there were more than 10,600 BLM protest events in the United States." to: "Of more than 10,600 protests in the United States from May 22 to August 22, over 80% were related to BLM or Covid-19." The first sentence misreports the data in its source, which isn't more specific than the sentence I provided. If you don't like the new sentence since it's not very specific or useful, a different source could be found or the sentence could be removed entirely. Either way, the current sentence is incorrect.

From May 22 to August 22, there were more than 10,600 BLM protest events in the United States. "Demonstrations & Political Violence in America: New Data for Summer 2020". ACLED. September 3, 2020. Retrieved September 5, 2020.
I removed this entirely, seeing no way to unpick the 80% as a pertinent statistic. ~ cygnis insignis 07:22, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
Under it it says that about half of the people shot and killed by police are white people and a quarter of the people shot and killed are black people. Yet, it says after this that there are twice as many black people shot than white people. It is contradictory and needs to be fact checked and fixed. 2602:304:B206:6820:7C5D:2C6A:6510:8CCA ( talk) 23:08, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

But BLM took it down after it was criticized by conservatives. Primary source: https://web.archive.org/web/20200229224723/https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/ Secondary source: https://www.foxnews.com/us/blm-deletes-page-disruption-nuclear-family And here's some info from the New York Times: We know the statistics – that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it. I'd like this wikipedia article to address why an organization that claims to care about black lives wants to get rid of the nuclear family, when the evidence from the New York Times shows how harmful that has already been to black people.

"We do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia, in particular, are trained organizers; we are trained Marxists. We are superversed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think what we really try to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many Black folks." Source: https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/jul/21/black-lives-matter-marxist-movement/ I think this quote should be included in the article. I think the article should explain why an organization called "Black Lives Matter" supports a policy that has created nothing but death, misery, and famine in every country where it has ever been adopted. Far more black lives have been murdered by Marxist governments than by the police in democratic countries. I'd like the article to address these points. Baxter329 ( talk) 02:28, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

For the most obvious reasons I think the majority of people can agree that BLM is a movement however no one can deny that violence, arson, property damage, and anarchy were a recurring aspect in 2020 after the death of George Floyd. I don't understand why this isn't mentioned in the article, are the editors of Wikipedia in complete denial of criminal acts committed by BLM activists? Or do the editors have a biased leftist agenda when it comes to certain controversial topics like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paok117 ( talk • contribs) 15:27, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
I wouldn’t really call them “peaceful protesters” tbh they nearly burnt Minneapolis to the ground had it not been for the US national guard being deployed to stop the rioters the city would have been destroyed. They also caused $2 billion dollars worth of property damage in June 2020 alone. What is the definition of a “reliable source” btw it sounds pretty biased and censors media publications and tabloids that aren’t aligned with the political left. I’m not going to provide a reference for a news article about this because it will be discredited and censored. Paok117 ( talk) 06:31, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
More than 500 shops and restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul have reported damage when protests on five nights turned violent over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Dozens of properties burned to the ground. Owners and insurance experts estimate the costs of the damage could exceed $500 million.

June 27, 2020 The under-construction affordable housing development that burned in the widespread violence in south Minneapolis late Wednesday and early Thursday was to be a six-story rental building with 198 apartments for low-income renters, including more than three dozen for very low-income tenants. Construction began last fall on Midtown Corner, which was expected to be completed and ready for occupancy this year. Late Wednesday the wood-framed upper floors of the building were fully engulfed in flames, with thick plumes of smoke that figured prominently in widely viewed photos of the riots. By Thursday morning, what had been an active construction site was reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes atop what was left of the concrete first-floor commercial space.

I did indeed read said articles, the three sources you provided me were three of the most liberal publications available. Yet when I provide a variety of sources, both corporate and personal, domestic and international, you claim I am cherry-picking? In regard to your apologist sources, they dismiss any and all accusations of antisemitism as fringe groups of people involved in said protests, denying the fact that they held such beliefs, instead turning to their endorsements from Jewish advocacy groups. In your own "PolitiFact" sources, even the TLDR section states the discontent many Jews feel towards the movement. This is specifically in the graffiti and defamation which occurs during riots. And, while leaders may downplay Anti-Semitic acts, it most certainly does not speak for the group as a whole. My point in making this thread was to point out the controversies surrounding BLM. I didn't come to argue with you, rather state the obvious. My feeling here is that you are more concerned with defending BLM than including the factual information, which is the controversy surrounding how many Jews feel towards BLM rhetoric. To say there is no tension between BLM and Jewish-Americans would imply there to be little or no mention of the phenomena in major news outlets. But there is. Therefore, we must only assume there is precedence for people seeking answers on the topic. Wikipedia's job is to document a full catalogue on a particular topic, controversies very much included. The fact we are even having this conversation right now and were both able to pull from mainstream news sources to defend are case is, in fact, evidence of controversy. I am sorry you may not feel the same way as me, but I respect your right to your own opinions. However, Wikipedia is not your opinion piece, as I mentioned it is to serve as a guide to a topic, and a branch to other sources. To ignore this controversy over one of the biggest movements in history in favor of your own political beliefs is a disservice to the platform, and the reader. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FactChecker200000 ( talk • contribs)

The intro mentioned the "mostly peaceful" protests.
I added the following numbers.
Let the readers make up their own minds if this is "mostly peaceful."
After the George Floyd protests, an estimate by the company Property Claim Services, obtained by the news website Axios, estimated that nationwide, the cost of property damage from arson, vandalism and looting would "result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims." [1]
According to Forbes, as of June 8, 2020, at least 19 people - a majority of whom were black - died during the Floyd protests. [2]

Leaders of Louisville’s Black Lives Matter chapter said that’s why they bonded Brown out, believing he would not have gotten that treatment while in jail. ... Organizers with Black Lives Matter said four different mental health agencies reached out and offered services to help Brown. The group believes he would not have gotten that help behind bars. ... “All of us are asking for the mental health help happens, that was denied in court, they were waiting on court services and they don’t have those resources so we went out and got it for him,” said Chanelle Helm with BLM Louisville.– Muboshgu ( talk) 23:30, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
