It is pretty incredible that a lot of outlets still can’t bring themselves to use the word “riot” to describe an event where three city dump-trucks were torched, 40 buildings were destroyed, and the National Guard had to be brought in to stop the courthouse from being overrun.

In an era when our guys only ‘protest’ and the other side riots, it takes a dismaying amount of work - sometimes a half-dozen or more sources - just to figure out what actually happened in these sorts of contentious events.

But for those who haven’t done the work:

The shootings didn’t happen at a protest. They happened on the third night of violent rioting, after a curfew had been imposed, when mobs of looters and arsonists were roaming the streets alongside thrill-seeking idiots bored of being cooped up during the pandemic.
