"Begging officials to acknowledge a perspective" is not an accurate description of protestors declaring an autonomous zone or taking over or burning down police stations and courthouses.
Here's a BLM protest speaker definitely not "begging officials to acknowledge a perspective": "I'm at the point where I'm ready to put these police in a f***ing grave. I'm at the point where I want to burn the f***ing White House down. ... I wanna take the fight to them. And at the end of the day, if they ain't gonna hear us, we burn them the f**k down."
