I love that the focus is on the black people rioting but not what causes the need for such catharsis. So many on the side of the same police force that used violence against peaceful protesters only months ago.

I tend to be a huge supporter of non violence but this is getting ridiculous. When those who vow to protect and serve the community are repeatedly the ones enacting excessive violence against it then how can anyone respect such authority or feel safe in their community.

Cop fears for their safety and despite being trained and armed it's okay to enact excessive violence in that situation. Why not the same with the community? They have every right to feel in danger of their lives given what the people responsible for serving and protecting have done to them and how the legal system provides no accountability.
