WWP’s Monica Moorehead wrote an article May 28, 2020 titled, ''Against police violence and capitalism, to rebel is justified:''
{{quotebox|“Workers World salutes all the brave protesters in [[Minneapolis]], currently ground zero against police terror. We also salute those activists in [[Los Angeles]], [[Memphis]] and other cities who are organizing protests and braving the [[pandemic]] to be in the streets or in car caravans to show solidarity with the demand: Justice for George Floyd and all victims of police violence.”}}
Moorehead goes on to quote WWP founder Sam Marcy’s defense of the 1992 Los Angeles riots—in which 63 people died:
{{quotebox|“In times when the [[bourgeoisie]] is up against the wall, when the masses have risen suddenly and unexpectedly, the bourgeoisie gets most lyrical in abjuring violence. It conjures up all sorts of lies and deceits about the unruliness of a few among the masses as against the orderly law-abiding many.
“[[Marxism]] here again cuts through it all. The Marxist view of [[violence]] distinguishes between the violence of the oppressors as against the responsive violence of the masses. Just to be able to formulate it that way is a giant step forward, away from disgusting bourgeois praise for nonviolence. It never occurs to any of them to show that the masses have never made any real leap forward with the theory of nonviolence. Timidity never made it in history.”<ref>https://www.workers.org/2020/05/49008/</ref>}}
