This is such a conflation dude. I'm not a fan of buildings being burnt down and stores being robbed. I'm also not a fan of police brutality resulting in death. Two things can be true at once, we can walk and chew gum at the same time, etc etc etc. Where's your compassion empathy and humanity for innocent bystanders who have had their property destroyed and stores looted?
You made these exact same arguments in 2014 for Ferguson we argued about this then as well. I'd like to see what was achieved by those riots besides extensive property damage. You can be down with the cause and not give carte blanche to any and all destructive behaviour, it's such a false choice.
