That's a nice straw-man. You have an aggression towards those who don't behave in the manner you like.
If I'm wrong then explain what exactly you meant.

These demonstrations are fantastic because they stand up for anti-racism in spaces that usually incubate themselves from the realities of police brutality.
They are going straight to an often privileged audience, the same audience whose livelihoods are usually the product of oppression around the world. The American legacy of anti-blackness is like the main way that race is formed and that people's labor is kept in line and in check. It's the main way that poverty and brutality is rationalized and explained away in the American imaginary.
With these demonstrations, certain audiences can no longer completely ignore what is going on.
You don't have a right to not be disturbed during lunch.Yes, this is taking someone freedom and the right to eat Dinner at a restaurant without getting disturbed by Libbies.
and when more stuff like this happen, the next thing you know racial division is getting stronger and each race create their own resistance group against another.
let just wish it doesn't come to that.

They do have a right to free speech.

you have the right to free speech, but not at someone else property.
that building belong to the restaurant owner, you can't just come in and disturb the peace like that.
if they were protesting in some park then i be okay with it.
BlackLivesMatter is a reference to the relationship between black people and the state, a relationship that spans hundreds of years and still very much feeds off the legacy of slavery.
One of the main reason the police, as we know it, were invented, was directly tied to controlling black people right after slavery, for example.
No, not when the state "forces" black people to die. But something tells me you'd don't care about that.
But God forbid some upper class class idiots have their brunch interrupted.
God forbid some protesting welfare bums should protest at a place of relevance, like say, in front of a police station or a government building.
I think referring to demonstrators here as welfare bums is extremely racist.
Incidentally, people have been occupying the front of a police station here in Los Angeles, and protests at government buildings have been a part of the movement as well. The brunch thing is just a small part of a larger movement.
Stupid people trying to summon the police state like a wizard trying to raise a demon from hell.
I recon what these morons are going to get for their troubles is an annoyed public and a sympathetic police force with more MRAPs, body armor, and automatic rifles.
Although one can't expect a people with an average IQ of 70 to formulate a better form of outreach beyond mimicry of buzzing flies.
