The MSM has been reporting "peaceful riots" and the DEMS are echoing that sentiment as often as possible.
The audiences of CNN, NBC, CBS, MSN, MSNBC, etc., are reporting to their audiences that the GOP are making false claims about the riots and those polled also are for BLM and the reduction of police.
You watch, should the DEMS win -- they will then focus on the riots; report on the chaos, and then bring about some calm - they will absolutely get credit. IMHO President Trump has missed the opportunity to seize the moment and take control. He keeps promising that the violence will stop -- it hasn't.
