Absolutely are mafia tactics. BLM comes into neighborhoods armed and then threatens the residents. If businesses do not "donate," they are boycotted. If anyone speaks out against BLM, they are doxed, threatened, and sometimes killed. They have free reign from the democrats to rob, loot, burn, beat, kill and destroy. Most of the money they collect goes to paying protestors to continue to protest rather than to improve black areas. They want to defund police so that they can put their "own" people in charge of policing the community: armed Muslim Brotherhood and Black Panthers, most of whom are radical Jihadists/Muslims who were recruited in prison.
