[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4839519, member: 66082"] The looting, burning, assaulting, and murdering is not really the aim of protests. We put a lot of groups on the political left when ideology isn't the reason they take a certain position. I think people are against police violence because either they or their friends and family experience police violence. So their protesting isn't about being on the ideological left. Again the people I have seen people support a $15 minimum wage are usually motivated by experiencing low wage jobs where they are working or their family is working and not getting ahead. Again, they aren't reading "leftist" economic books. It's more practical. It's like we are continually struggling financially yet working very hard and the company is making money, there is already a minimum wage that hasn't been increased significantly in many years, why not increase it.
