The "racial justice" protests were violent, killed people, and burned down cities. Billions of dollars of damage was caused over a period of months, and in some ways is still going on in places like Portland.
The left wing and the media encouraged these riots, and were very careful not to condemn them. What little condemnation occurred was incredibly gentle, and made sure to be understanding toward the criminals committing these acts of violence and destruction. But for the most part, these were portrayed as "mostly peaceful protests" and a beautiful thing, while the rioting was either denied, downplayed, or excused.
Our current VP actually promoted a bail fund for getting rioters out of jail -- which was later used to also bail out serial rapists and child molesters.
The left highly encouraged these riots. I don't feel a commission is necessary for that, either, but if we're going to establish commissions to investigate the role of politicians and media in encouraging major riots, we need to do it for both situations, not just the one the left wants to talk about.
I have a feeling that you wouldn't have felt so supportive of these protesters if the riots moved into your posh Coronado neighborhood.
