Y'all've had a reason to wear masks capable of filtering riot gasses into stores and banks for the past few months and not seem out of place. There's no excuse not to at these protests. Bare faces and people wearing masks incorrectly should be firmly rejected.
It's too late in the pandemic to tolerate a substantial fraction of protestors shouting their lung-biscuits all over the community they claim to stand for. The willful ignorant aren't going to 'wake up' from some gentle education, they're a sleepwalker and they're no more a part of the community you march with than a band of right-wing infiltrators.
Fabric masks don't protect the wearer, they protect those around them.
Ignorance is deadly violence.

I see a lot of people posting heavy plywood shields for protecting yourself. Listen to an old LARPER if you take a Rubbermaid lid and blue camping pad and use 3m spray adhesive you can made a huge, lightweight and durable shield for blocking rubber bulletsβ¦

LISTEN UP BOIS! So the cops opened fire en mass last night, and killed an unarmed small business owner who was working. Not even part of the protest! All cause they heard one gunshot like, 3 blocks away. All of them had their body cameras turned off. Governor Daddy Beshear was like "wtf is wrong with you fisher!?!?" Fishers the corrupt mayor of Louisville who uses hundreds of thousands in tax dollars for private Kentucky derby party for celebrities, and who funds his drug dealing sons addictions and cop immunity. The chief of police got fired for ordering body cams off, and the goveners begging anyone who has it to share recordings because they have none! -Sandy

Researchers in the US have found what appears to be a mass grave from the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot.
The massacre claimed the lives of up to 300 black and 50 white people, though records are unclear and estimates vary.
The incident happened after a (highly dubious) court case of alleged assault by a black man against a white woman. Rumours of a lynching led to black citizens assembling with firearms to defend the man against a white mob; the white citizens misinterpreted this and violence broke out. Whites became fearful of a 'Negro uprising'.
City authorities conspired with the white mob; it is highly likely that even aeroplanes were used to attack black neighbourhoods. Over 800 people were wounded and the prosperous area known as 'Black Wall Street' was destroyed.
For years after, both white and black survivors were unable to speak about the events, and they were left out of history books.
