I'll perhaps meet you half way.
The police are corrupt and racist. That's fact #1. And there shouldn't have to have an incident to spark a protest, this is systematic. Colin Kaepernick did this. He was the one who protested the anthem because it doesn't represent blacks who still face systematic racism. Where'd that get him? Blacks will support money and the NFL before they support him.
I stated earlier, peaceful protests wouldn't have solved anything. If the police precinct hadn't been burned down on Thursday night there wouldn't have been charges Friday morning. So that was a positive. And even then, it was filmsy charges at best. That should be minimum 2nd degree murder, if one feels that 1st degree murder would be too difficult to convict. Blacks have seen this dog and pony show too many times of police officers not being convicted for abuses.
I think protesting and targeting violence in the proper areas makes sense. At the police stations, at government buildings, at the White House. That's all fine. People should not be looting their fellow citizens businesses. Especially black ones.
