Is violence becoming more socially acceptable than "offensive words"?

It just seems to me like people are trying to justify violence more and more these days

Example?

 It seems that police killing people in the street is acceptable but taking a knee during the national anthem sparked the most backlash this country has seen since 9/11.

I don't remember multiple citywide riots occuring over taking a knee at a ball game.

That is not why the, "multiple citywide riots happened". The violence itself was not the issue, the lack of JUSTICE FOR THE VIOLENCE is what sparked the riots. Not even inditing police officers is what caused the riots when you know damn well your ass would have been indited is the problem there. Nice spin though.

Semantics aside, you do have a point so I will be more careful when I post emotionally like I did.
