Unfortunate consequences of police brutality.

And let's not forget that anything after those cops killed that man is directly tied to their responsibility. That's THEIR fault, not anyone else. Treat a human with compassion and none of this happens. None of it.
Remember Reginald Denny, viciously beaten by 'rioters' in LA? People turn into ####ing animals at any opportunity. I think it's important that blame be placed where it belongs, and that includes 'rioters'.

The savagery inflicted to innocent humans cannot be excused because of another's actions. You may empathize, sympathize, or even understand how it comes to be, but brutality towards innocents in the name of protesting brutality of innocents is not something to be ignored.
