Pro-police protesters hunt down and beat up BLM-protesters. Police arrests the BLM-protesters.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/back-the-blue-members-beat-blm-protesters-in-colorado-ditch-keep-punching-each-other-in-the-face/

Members of a “Back the Blue” rally were seen fighting with Black Lives Matter counter-protesters in Fort Collins, Colorado over the weekend.

Video posted on social media shows members of the “Back the Blue” group advancing on Black Lives Matter activists. The confrontation eventually becomes a fighting match in a neighborhood ditch.

...

“I was at the Pro Police FCPD rally today,” she wrote. “Counter protestors were violently beaten and had no signs of aggression or hostility. Pro Police protestors forced them to the end of the block and then savagely assaulted them. Afterwards the COUNTER PROTESTORS WERE DETAINED. The officers did not tell them why they were being detained. The pro police protestors who literally assaulted these people for no fucking reason other than being PSYCHOPATHS got away with it. I am so sick and tired of this.”

I think this group and the police may have coordinated this together. I have no proof just speculation. I don't want to have these thoughts about the police but their full throated supported support of the COVIDIOT tells me all I need to know.

People will only take getting beaten for so long. I hope they remain strong and peacefull.

That video was sick proof of what we are fighting.

and savagely attack innocent people, some of those innocent people will eventually come prepared to respond in kind at the next confrontation.

Some of these cowardly thugs will die. Some will be maimed.
