This happens just as often as other things but such stories never seem to get posted here. This is the stuff the media hides. I'm surprised somebody didn't try to make this a BLM thing.
Clashes break out at rally in Michigan

Several fights broke out in Kalamazoo, Michigan, during a rally held by the far-right group Proud Boys, police say.
Members of the group were marching in downtown Kalamazoo when they clashed with counter protesters and officers moved to disperse the crowds, CNN affiliate WXMI reported.
"Once the event turned violent, the officers responded quickly and restored order," Kalamazoo Public Safety said in a statement, adding that officers declared "a police zone and dispersed the crowds."
People were "punching, kicking and even pepper-spraying one another," CNN affiliate WOOD reported.
Authorities said multiple groups were "visibly armed with a variety of weapons, including guns" and officers confiscated a 3-foot wooden club.
"This is still an unpredictable situation and we encourage the community to remain safe," the public safety agency said.
Proud Boys, founded in 2016 in New York, is far-right extremist organization that has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Members describe themselves as "Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world." The group's site argues its allure stems from the fact that young American men and women are "finished" with "apology culture" but disavows links to the alt-right or to white supremacists.
