Unfortunately, today's news focuses only on violence and fear mongering. You will eventually realize that peaceful protests have never successfully brought change. You will find yourself screaming into a void, without justice.
Today, the police claim that there are only a few Bad cops but most are Good, and ask us to trust that. There are only a few rioting protestors, but most are peaceful. However, the cops across the US are rioting, beating, and destroying the lives of every protestors. Cleveland PD has banned news media from entering downtown. Seattle PD has fired flashbangs and rubber bullets at news reporters. A black CNN reporter and their whole crew was arrested live to avoid the public witnessing what was to take place.
Nobody disagrees that rioting and vandalism and burglary are horrible acts. But I would rather the people riot if it leads to lives being saved and equal accountability for all citizens.
Take a random example here in California, probably 50 people looted Best Buy this weekend? For a city of 70k? Vast minority.
In a country that has 20k cities. There is no way more than 10k cities are experiencing looting.
There is “more than I would actually like”, and there is actual huge/most. It simply isn’t as bad as you make out to be.
In DT Seattle, protests turned into violent riots, and many nearby businesses were damaged including looting.
In other WA cities, criminals picked strategic targets (Target, Walmart, and BestBuy) and hit them in multiple locations. In Bellevue, there was footage of cars pulling up to take the stolen possesions and drive away.
That was different than with looting, in which people typical take anything that isn't nailed down.
