text: My caution about being involved in this is related to two problems that the present protest are doing htat are hurting the community,
  1)  The Target of the Protest - Entertainment, Shopping, and Business - are hurting the working class people.  Violence in Downtown and on the 'Loop' have closed and damaged small businesses.  Cancellation of the U2 Concert lost income for Businesses and workers who were laid off because of no work.  Same for the Ed Sheeran Concert.  Meanwhile, Many Businesses are also repairing Windows and facing losses - impacting  their income and wages for employees.
  2) The violence associated with the protests.  Those causing violence need to held accountable, but people in the protest are not coming forward to report and/or turn-in those who are attacking police of causing damage.  This passivity to the violence is no better than the tolerance of the public and leaders to hold the Police responsible for their actions of unnecessary violence.
