“It is NEVER acceptable to loot and destroy property”. Are you sure? Because the police do it all the time. The military does it all the time. And sometimes they even do it to human beings. They do it to their own citizens who they’ve sworn to protect. Looting, destroying, and discarding their bodies. On camera. And they get away with it. And even better, they get paid for it. And shouldn’t the police be the example of citizenship and community that we all can feel confident following? These people are following an example. A bad one. I actually wouldn’t recommend the looting, I just see the hypocrisy of it all. As long as this country allows its police to break its laws, it is inadvertently communicating the same message to everyone else. You can’t be selective. You can’t cover up murders for officers and then punish citizens for shooting firecrackers into five guys. It’s either acceptable for everyone or no one. The law either applies to everyone or no one. Should’ve chosen the latter. All they had to do was hold everyone accountable. It wasn’t complicated. Instead they sacrificed the integrity of the entire system just to keep racists on the force. Nice one, Murica. You played yourself. ????????Society as a whole pays the price for your mistakes.
