You're right. We should have shot a few carrying bread and water out of the Winn-Dixie and then the jewelry stores would have been safe. What's wrong with those cops?

was that an attempt to be clever?

They probably are shooting. Just not being reported. During the Los Angeles riots I was informed from a fireman later that most of the reported deaths were actually due to cops performing riot control. Think about the situation. Police don't even need to fill out forms or attend hearings for people they shoot, whose bodies will probably never be identifiable. The problem is the shear numbers of armed citizens and looters right now.

Cops had first dibs on the jewelry stores.

Are you actually suggesting that stealing property from another person is justified under the circumstances?
