Just last weekend, body camera video captured a nine-year-old girl in crisis being subdued with handcuffs and pepper-spray by Rochester police in New York.
Although the incident is under investigation and the officers involved were suspended, Black Lives Matter protesters turned violent.

While their street violence continues, Black Lives Matter was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The organization was nominated by Petter Eide, a Norwegian member of parliament, who said the movement is “bringing forward a new consciousness and awareness about racial justice.”
Along with the award comes a $1 million prize.
Last September, however, The Daily Caller provided data on the dangerous Black Lives Matter riots:
The U.S. experienced 637 riots between May 26 and Sept. 12, and 91% of those riots were linked to the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the US Crisis Monitor, a joint project of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project and the Bridging Divides Initiative at Princeton University.

Black Lives Matter and Antifa are dangerous radical groups that continue to harass and intimidate law enforcement and innocent bystanders.
Political leaders, especially President Joe Biden, need to take their threats seriously and denounce the actions of these groups.
