This most recent incident in Kenosha was not "extrajudicial". The man had a knife and a fireman and was not complying with the officers. And in either case, that is not a situation that justifies burning buildings and destroying properties. Anarchy is not a solution to any problem.

The knife was in his car and they found it afterwords, it wasn't on him at the time.

Not complying with officers should not mean a death sentence. This isn't Judge Dread. Other countries besides the US manage to not regularly murder black people- in fact most countries don't have anywhere near the level of police murder that the US has.

"The knife was in his car and they found it afterwords"

You mean the knife was in the car he was trying to get into at the time he was shot?

5 days of riots after MLKs death got us a landmark civil rights bill.
