Spence, I agree that the majority of people were peaceful. I never said there were zero peaceful protesters. What I'm saying is, the number of violent sociopaths out there is also greater than zero. What happened in Ferguson, afetr what happened with the Rodney King verdict, these things tell us with zero ambiguity, that some people can be incited to violence.
Sharpton doesn't have to ask for his followers to "go out and kill cops". It's enough, when he says that black lives don't matter to white cops, and that white cops are in the habit of executing innocent black children. We know, we know for a fact, that alone wil incite some to violence.
The evidence of the potential danger, is there. As usual, your side can't process the empirical evidence, because it doesn't support "the narrative".

I saw a video with a few dozen chanting about killing cops, it certainly crosses the line and people inciting that kind of hate speech should be prosecuted if possible.
The more that comes out about the shooter though you see how the guy had serious issues, he was going to crack sooner or later.
Race is still a pretty contentious issue and there are plenty of people on all sides fanning the flames.
