The world would be a better place if a sinkhole swallowed both sides tbh. Giving protesters a bad name.

Well sure, he initially moved slowly enough to not hurt anyone, then sped off when the crowd parted.

Was he armed?

They’ve got such a hard job, there’s no way they could have controlled this tiny child!

Enough about the police, what about white on white violence?!

When people talk about the cost of the damage to cities, they forget that settling police misconduct suits costs far more.

The police being sued doesn't make as much difference to people whose businesses or places of work or homes are destroyed though.

76 injured, 14 killed by gunfire this week as NYC shootings skyrocket

New York City’s latest bloody week of gunfire saw 76 people injured, including
14 murdered — with almost two-and-a-half times more shootings than the
same week last year, according to police sources.

As of 7 a.m., the previous week saw 62 separate shootings — a dramatic rise
over the 26 during the same week last year, sources said.

Among the 76 hurt in the latest surge of gunplay, there were 14 murders —
again more than the 10 for the same period in 2019, the sources said.

They're generally not being sued for chinese burns. They are often destroying peoples lives and families.

And so they should be sued. But those lawsuits are still background noise to people not involved, unlike riots (which also destroy lives).

Buildings mean more than black lives, apparently. Losing loved ones can destroy lives, having your home violated by people who should protect you as they leave destruction and death in their wake can destroy lives. When the police shoot first, lives are destroyed.

The two things aren't related. The police shouldn't be killing people, people shouldn't be rioting.
