Protest but don't destroy
OK let me get this straight. You have people that are protesting the tragic death of a forgery suspect involving the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Check. No problem with the protesting, but why does the crowd find it necessary to attack the police with rocks, bottles and other weapons, thus forcing the Police to use tear gas and rubber bullets?
Then the participants are complaining about excessive force. Really? Would you rather have the police use lethal force, which would be within their rights? Now the crowd is looting and burning businesses. Why? What does this solve? Now they have to live with all the damage in their community and they will complain about it.
Do you see the police or their families protesting, let alone burning and looting when a police officer is shot and killed? Protest but don't burn and loot. Simple concept.
