Riots are turning people off to BLM (Just not the Insane "Prime" ones)

Press outlets have generally tried to downplay the violent aspects of the protests, sometimes going to absurd lengths. CNN’s Omar Jimenez reported live from Kenosha in front of burning businesses while a chyron described the scene as “fiery but mostly peaceful protests.” The narrative “buildings burn at peaceful protest” is Orwellian doublethink in action.

Net approval for the Black Lives Matter movement peaked back on June 3 and has fallen sharply since. This was just over a week after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, when riots had begun to sweep major cities. Among whites, net approval is already negative and headed downward. And while Democrats and Republicans are as polarized on the issue as one would expect, white Independents have shown a dramatic falloff in BLM support, going from a net 24% in early June to net 3% now, which is lower than before Floyd was killed. Of course BLM is not synonymous with rioting, but this trend may show the extent to which the issues have been conflated in the public mind.

Joe Biden has come out against defunding, while imaginatively charging that President Trump supports it. This may be a response to poor polling on the issue even among African Americans and Trump’s solid backing from police unions. Meanwhile the “defund the police” mural that was painted on 16th Street near the White House with great fanfare in June quietly vanished over two weeks ago.

Yes, the riot issue is sticking. President Trump has his answer, sending the FBI and U.S. Marshals to assist in Kenosha. If Joe Biden has a concrete solution  to the problem of American cities in flames, he’s keeping it to himself (and one of his dementia personalities, insane kuntt).

Biden supporter here, but I agree that the issue of looting and violence is of great importance. It pulls both ways though:
Some swing voters: the Democrats are way too soft on all this. Trump stands for law and order
Other swing voters: Trump is always pouring gas on the fire and just makes matters worse.

I hear both from people who are not hard core Democrats or Republicans.

Which way will be the greater pull, nobody knows yet. But I think this issue is actually the most decisive one right now, more so than Coronavirus, health care, China, the economy, all issues where most people know already where they stand and who they support.

The fact that this issue is at the top of the list may give an edge to Republicans, who are traditionally associated with law and order. We’ll see.

Black lives matters has nearly a billion in donations. What are they doing with it. Paying outrageous salaries and laundering the money by paying consultants. The rest goes to Democrats campaigns and to sponsor "protests". These BLM riots lead to murder, assault, arson, looting, vandalism, intimidation and the blocking of highways. Where's the peaceful protest? 

Want to know what a peaceful protest is? Look at the annual anti abortion protest in DC. 100K gathers and no one is assaulted. No murders or assaults occur. Just a peaceful protest. The cops know they are safe there except for the small counter protesters.
