First, I don’t pretend to know what happened in this case, not enough information yet. If an unarmed person who was otherwise not a potential threat was shot outside normal use of force policies, it would be wrong. However, whatever happened does not justify rioting and looting.
I dealt with perpetrators of same after their arrests during the King riots. In many cases, they had burned down the only resources available for their families and neighbors. Between the Watts and King riots, the communities lost important resources, including food markets, that they depended upon. Many elderly folks were in the areas, many the grandparents of those I dealt with. How ironic that the very people who accuse others of categorizing them as probable criminals prove that they indeed can be lawless (and excused). There is no insight to why there are problems in the community, and much of it comes down to being told for years that they are victims and can expect unfair treatment.
When people such as President Obama and Eric Holder quit viewing everything through race-colored glasses, perhaps some of the problems plaguing minority communities could be solved.

President Obama cares more for the looters and thugs than he does for the innocent Christian children being slaughtered.
