You would rather that the mayors of said cities continue to stand back and do nothing so that more and more people die? That people move out of the city because they fear these so-called "peaceful protesters." They are NOT peaceful and in many cases the protesters have attacked first, but the media only shows us part of the story. Go in and research the real stories. Go in and research the people who are NOT part of the protests, BLM, and ANTIFA. If you are there, however, to get the real story, beware, you might become a target of these protesters.
