Thug is just a term for low-life criminals. I don't understand how people think it's a racial term. The image that comes to mind from me is more along the line of 1930s gangster henchmen.
That's OT though...
As far as the riots go, as much as I know there are going to be innocent people caught in the middle and wrongfully victimized, after seeing video after video of police abusing their power (and usually at the expense of minorities and poor people), part of me can't help but want to see a reckoning of some kind. It's not right, but I can't blame them for being so angry.
