Not showing up looking for a fight? If you're protesting a cop killing someone or police brutality, and the cops show up wearing helmets, shields, batons, guns, etc., how do you expect the people to react?

Wait, how does this even make fricking sense?

Do you think there were riot police chilling out in the middle of Minneapolis which set off the sudden wave of rioting? No, these were savages who finally decided to go off, and riot police took fricking days to show up and do something because MN leadership went with a super hands-off approach, going as far as asking nicely on social media for the people to go home, which ended exactly as predicted. The same MN leadership has since apologized for their stupidity, and pulled a 180 basically, but tough shite for the people who already had their businesses razed.

Floyd's death was unjustified, but any, and I mean fricking ANY defense of the rioters is complete nonsense. If this was about justice, they could target exclusively police stations etc which still would NOT be justified and indefensible, but at least it would make some sense as to their goal. Looting Autozone?

Welcome to 2020 everyone.
