One officer told Snopes that there was no indication that any of the individuals in the altercation were involved with or mentioned Black Lives Matter.

The veteran seemed troubled by the teens” accusations of racism, telling The Daily Caller, “When I was in the Marine Corps, I served with people from many different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, and races. Instead, he wants to protect people.

According to Marquez, numerous assaults against white individuals have actually been committed by African-Americans in recent months, but such incidents remain under-reported by journalists, who prefer to focus on presenting exclusively violent acts targeting black people.
