No not at all.
I didn't say that.
I don't think that violence/rioting is the best approach to conflict/anger resolution. Is there an issue with race and policing in America, yeah I think there probably is.
However, running wild and destorying businesses and homes, only fuels the side that says the black/asian/hispanic/white/purple community is dangerous. Their violence/rioting validates the actions of the police.
"See we have to have a strong arm approach with these people, look what happens when you don't clamp down hard on them".
I know that as a white middle aged man this is easy for me to say, but IMO violence/rioting is only useful is you look to defeat/overthrow those that you are rioting against (ie: CC example of Russia). Is the end goal of these people to over throw the current establishment in the US? I doubt it, I suspect they would like to change the current establishment/policing practices. IMO opinion that won't happen by taking an agressive violent approach.
As trite as it souinds perhaps they should "give peace a chance". What is they tried peaceful protest even when faced with resultant violence from the police?
