Perhaps we start demanding better training of LEOs. Better screening. Stricter punishments for those who violate their oath.
We simply do not yet know if these acts will change anything. That is a discussion to be had in the days, weeks, and years to come.
(...well now you edited yours, but I'm going to leave my response here because I think the points are valid for the discussion.)

Its fine, I stand by what I said...just wasn't fair to aim it at that poster
I have just seen many of these types of movements and while the intentions are good by some the images of looting, fires, vandalism, and straight up terrorism in some cases just paint a bad really bad picture. A guy murdered someone and was arrested for murder...this shouldn't be an us vs. them story. More division is not a good thing right now.
