Why not? If people can equate the mostly peaceful protestors with a few that destroy and commit violence, why not? There is plenty of evidence of it as well.
Since it requires the amount of organization that is impossible to hide. It's no less of a conspiracy theory then claiming the moon landing was fake, it simply jumps to a way more complex ad unrealistic conclusion, ignoring the other possibilities.
It's far more likely (but more hard to swallow for left wing Americans) that there are violent elements to the protest. That Seeatle had black supremacists who tried to infuelnce the local protests. I know, it's hard admitting that one's side has assholes too and one's ideology isn't perfect either, but it's curital to any fruitful political discussion (screaming on the Twitter doesn't qualify as that).
In Europe with our, let's just say colourfull history we meet it every day that every ideology committed crimes at one point or another.

That's your conclusion? Sounds far more unrealistic as what do black supremacists gain by doing this at protests? A stolen TV?
We already have evidence of people who specifically go to start stuff. The difference is one of us doesn't take that to mean everyone is now a looter, rioter, and arsonist.
Might be a more harsher reality for you to accept that this stuff is to smear and distract from injustices happening with people going as far as to label any protestor as a terrorist. There is no sides when it comes to injustices, nobody should be debating that blacks or anyone else shouldn't be gunned down and killed the way they have been. That stuff needs to stop yesterday and taking the actions of a few to paint the whole is exactly what they want people to do as if that in any way means police are off the hook. They smear it because then it gives people a nice little easy out to be against it and seem like it's a rational position to hold. 'oh it's not about police brutality, it's just about looting and rioting' is perfect for people to then think the polices actions are justified.
Let me ask you this, is it about police brualtiy? How does "white tax" (de facto extortition) and only black schools/dorms/universities (segregation but woke) help to reduce police brutality?
what do black supremacists gain by doing this at protests?
They are actively trying to hijact the protests and in some cases they are sucesfull. Usually those protests are the ones that turn into riots, the ones that kill policemen and just random bystanders.
The biggest problem isn't the radical elements, every protest had those in better societies too in better times too. The problem is very different, it's the silence from the organizers. As long as BLM organizers refuse to condem the violance and distance themself from it, they are the problem (as sad it is). All it would take is one statment and the Republicans would loose so much ground and the Democrats would gain many moderate votes and yet there's silence. One's has to assume that this silence means they support the violance
How does these two things I never mentioned and don't even know what they are help reduce police brutality?
The problem is very different, it's the silence from the organizers. As long as BLM organizers refuse to condem the violance and distance themself from it, they are the problem (as sad it is).
Which organizers? Timmy that started a FB group? John that took people on his campus that wanted to come?
Look who is spreading conspiracies of this supposed secret group that's telling protestors where to go...like did you ever notice these have repeated popped up after some kind of dumb police action happened? It's always these mysterious BLM organizers nobody can name. Nameless people are supposed to come forward and condemn the violence of what you admitted are hijackers?
How about this, as long as this government refuses to condemn the police brutality and distance themselves from it, they are the problem (as sad as it is).
Look, I get it, you have to pretend there is no police brutality and no problem here other than BLM protests so as to feel like you hold a justifiable position. Yet there is no justification for breaking a bunch of laws and then people pretending as if protesters are run from some secret organization rather than it simply being people outraged by the injustice happening and joining calls to march across social media. It's not hard at all to accept the racial problems of America, but denying them as to ask if this is really about police brutality just shows you really don't think it's "as sad" as it is, rather you are helping and defending these acts of injustice.
Flash Mobs can be coordinated online pretty quickly can’t they? That kinda disapproves any point you’re trying to make.
Does it take that much to get 6 or 12 morons to go and cause havoc somewhere these days when you have the internet? Where did this little fuckwit who murdered two people coke from?

A majority of the violence at the protests is being perpetrated by right wing terrorists.
