This goes again to a lack of organization in the movement. It seems to
me that virtually anyone can present themselves can act in the name of
BLM or be treated as a spokesperson of BLM.
This would have been more of an issue prior to George Floyd's murder.
There have been more than TWO THOUSAND protests as documented in this map:

By and large, there was no counterpart to Jack Barnes or Ahmed Shawki
sending instructions out to local BLM organizers to carry them out.
Johnson demonizes these protests by referring to people like DeRay
Mckesson cashing in. You get the same kind of analysis from Cory
Morningstar who wrote 25,000 words demonizing Greta Thunberg because her
tour was funded by corporations. You might as well denounce Lenin for
taking that ride on a German train.
