Speaking to NPR's All Things Considered on Friday, Homeland Security Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli acknowledged that federal agents had used unmarked vehicles to pick up people in Portland but said it was done to keep officers safe and away from crowds and to move detainees to a "safe location for questioning."

* were triggered by a horrifying, highly visible racial crime
* were not centrally coordinated
* were not instigated by the sitting president
* did not try to overthrow the lawfully elected government
In other words, two completely different events in terms of cause, scope, and effect. Or are you under the impression that the BLM protests were some sort of Democratic Party operation?
There are also additional evidence that show BLM received funding from central sources and the leaders of that movement were all convicted of financial misconduct and fraud.
The BLM movement was used to start defund the police movement calling them pigs and letting crime run rampant.
This is the updated consensus from those in the center who have been watching both sides of the spectrum argue and try to detract facts from conjecture.

Oh? Did the Center Party finally come to a consensus? Where can I read more about this?
This is clearly misinfornation, intentional or not.
The man died of a drug overdose after swallowing drugs to conceal evidence from the police.
This is clearly stated in the coroners report.
There was no murder or execution. Even BLM was founded on a lie.
A full autopsy report on George Floyd, the man who died after being restrained by Minneapolis police last month, reveals that he was positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The 20-page report also indicates that Floyd had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death, although the drugs are not listed as the cause.
Are you knowingly lying or simply misinformed and ignorant?
"The 46-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest while being restrained by Minneapolis police, the report found. It listed Mr Floyd's cause of death as 'cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression'."
As for the perpetrator:
"In early 2021, Chauvin was put on trial for unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter of Floyd before a jury in the Minnesota Fourth Judicial District Court. On April 20, he was convicted on all of the charges."
In other words, you are wrong. And based on your other comments, it seems that you've fallen victim to the right-wing propaganda machine. I suggest that you seek other, more factual sources of news.
"many Black Lives Matter protesters did face consequences. Estimates vary, but news outlets reported thousands of protesters were arrested in the months following Floyd’s death in May 2020.
A June 22, 2020, article from The Washington Post tallied over 14,000 arrests made since May 27. The Hill reported over 17,000 arrests had been made in the first two weeks of protests."[0]

The BLM riots were an aimless mob of malcontents.
