Plaintiffs - which include several property management firms, an auto repair shop and a tattoo parlor, say the absence of police, firefighters and ambulances has subjected them to "extensive property damage, public safety dangers, and an inability to use and access their properties."

That said, the plaintiffs want everyone to know that they support Black Lives Matter "who, by exercising such rights, are bringing issues such as systemic racism and unfair violence against African Americans by police to the forefront of the national consciousness."

In short, they support the movement - just not the harms they've suffered as a result of it.
