DS> Yes -- you should open your eyes and your mind.  There was rioting and
 DS> looting by a small number of opportunists at first.  That has been
 DS> replaced by peaceful people protesting the systemic injustice that has
 DS> been going on for a long time.

Why do people on the left always portray the numbers to be small and suggest
that a small number of opportunists when they know dam well within their
heart of hearts that the number is much larger then they care to admit. 
This is not a small number hooligans, as your suggesting...

Open your eyes to realize the number is much bigger and much more of a
problem.

DS>  GD> Why is there a national movement, to de-fund the Police.  

DS> To take some of the money used for violent interaction with the people
DS> and put it towards more productive community service.  It does not mean 
DS> to eliminate the police.

The violent interaction comes when these people think they can not adhere to
the Police direction and instruction.

 DS>  GD> These people chant about wanting and demanding respect and equality. 
 DS>  GD> As far as equality they are as free as I am or as you are. 
 DS> 
 DS> You need to open your eyes and mind.  The people at the heart of the
 DS> protests are not as free as you or I.

Please explain how they are not free? 
With the same level of freedom as you or myself.
