It was never really about George Floyd for the radicals behind the rioting. It was an opportunity. Sure many normal people wanted to protest Floyd's death at the hands of the police. Many did it peacefully. But to the instigators and agitators, this was their opportunity to yet again infiltrate the protests and cause trouble. They hide, vandalize, get others to follow and then these instigators slink away.
In the same way, BLM waits for opportunities to advance their agenda. These protests are a perfect time to issue demands for their favorite pet projects, like defund the police - they tie it to police brutality. Like Antifa, BLM is not a centralized organization.
If you do even cursory research into BLM, it is not what most people believe it is. Through clever marketing, they chose a name with which people could hardly disagree without seeming to be racists. BLM was started by three Marxists after the Trayvon Martin death. Most people in BLM don't know this and wouldn't believe you even if you have proof. They are manipulated, just as the Marxists behind the organization use race as an issue to stir people up and divide them and then issue demands as communists have done for generations. All have to do with getting Trump removed as their immediate goal, and the longer term goal is to bring down the U.S. which is the largest impediment to one world (communist) government.
As Dan Bongino said today, EVERYBODY will need to choose a side soon. The Marxists' cancel culture will come for everybody, even you. They will brand you a racist, get you fired from your job, ostracized from/by family and friends, etc.
