    That wasn't "You don't know how good you've got it", whoever you are positing to be the "you" in that nonsense.

    It was "Black people have a lot of legitimate reasons to be pissed off. If our government pushes them to the point that the vast majority who are generally protesting peacefully and dealing with the various skirmishes, and instead that anger is fully unleashed, if something blows things wide open, an honest-to-god old school riot is waaaay beyond anything we've seen in the last week.

    Throw in the possibilities when the police/National Guard/Army is sent in as a result? Yeah, it's all good.

    probably what they used at the White House yesterday, and would account for the confusion in "tear gas" / "just smoke" descriptions

    AN-M8 HC White Smoke grenade

    The grenade emits a dense cloud of white smoke for 105 to 150 seconds. THE AN-M8 HAND GRENADE PRODUCES HARMFUL HYDROCHLORIC FUMES THAT IRRITATE THE EYES, THROAT, AND LUNGS. IT SHOULD NOT BE USED IN CLOSED-IN AREAS UNLESS SOLDIERS ARE WEARING PROTECTIVE MASKS.

    Day three of marches in our small city.

    Today the cops are marching with the protesters, which I think is a good move by the cops.

    I’m not sure what this refers to, but it appears to be from a former Clemson player.
