By no means am I justifying the rioting and looting. But am I making clear that the police set the stage with their response to the killing of this kid.
Kid? I read he was 6 feet tall and weighed 200+ pounds. Some kid. He should have joined the army if he wanted to fight someone.
NONSENSE!!!
Whatever the police may have done wrong in no way justifies rioting, arson, burglary and robbery. If police misconduct "sets the stage" for a particular community to commit riot, arson, burglary, and robbery of private businesses, then that community is pathological, is a threat to all its neighbors, and must be eliminated in self defense.
Choose your response carefully ... these rioters differ from HAMAS, ISIS, etc. only in that the latter are better armed.
