This logic then gets collapsed down to: Average Joe is responsible for black people getting killed by the police.
And it is upon that conclusion that looting and rioting get justified.
I have no reason to believe that if police officers were properly prosecuted for wrongful shootings that we would see a dramatic improvement in the state of social harmony in the US.

What could you possibly understand about social harmony in the US?
Just two weeks ago you thought the idea that someone might say “black lives don’t matter” so foreign that you needed it googled for you for evidence.
You’ve also shown, repeatedly, that you don’t understand context or nuance, and purposely mischaracterise situations and others (riots are because they blame average joe for racism! Black lives matter is just designed to sneakily silence critics!), and basically have a fundamental misunderstanding of everything you talk about.
In what world should anyone believe you know anything about social harmony in the US? Where are you from, anyway?
