  Would you describe the BLM protests as mostly peaceful?

  Looks like it was as peaceful as other protests described as mostly peaceful that have happened over the last few years.

  Highly doubtful. It's a "citizens commission" which means a bunch of people decide whose reports to republish. Nothing even attempting to be truthful or bipartisan. The reports switch between describing attempted murder - trucks accelerating at pedestrians, etc - and crazy harassment like asking an asian man to do "a dragon dance" and then beating him with "blunt objects" when he refused, which didn't do any damage such that the police refused his report. > "The pastor recalled convoy supporters, some of whom routinely urinated on his church, even taking issue with a sign indicating the church was broadcasting its masses online due to provincial public health restrictions: “One of them pointed a fist towards me shouting ‘you should obey God instead of F-ing Trudeau’.”" Pointed a fist(?) and yelled a rude message about a politician. Oh, the harm! No photos of the urinators though - which supposedly kept happening. The only likely crime (likely a crime and likely happened) I spotted in their report was someone pushing a photographer's camera away. Annoying, and criminal, but totally unpunished at all rallies and protests. The police literally don't react to anything less than theft of a camera or punching the photographer.
