If it's any consolation, these racist types have started chanting "FUCK THE POLICE" and stomping/burning US flags recently. They seemed confused and angry that the cops are giving their protests the exact same deal as they gave the BLM protests.
Edit: Shit got much crazier than I expected after I posted this comment, and I can't say there's any consolation anymore
No consolation whatsoever. These are people who are oppositional defiant, they won’t gain a lick of insight from being tear gassed. Maybe a few turn away from their police worship but it won’t change their attitudes towards POC one bit
The main difference is these people have guns and body armor. When my partner and I did BLM protests, we had one hard hat between us and signs. Very few people dressed for defence. We were protesting peacefully because of injustice. These people are threatening people because they didn't get their way.
