It's definitely a fair point. But we should also consider both the protests and the riots are temporary while the police misconduct is baked in to the system and has to be dealt with every day for decades to come. So while I don't condone anyone being killed or any small businesses being destroyed or looted, at the same time these types of things will happen during mass demonstrations, and the root of the reason the demonstrations are happening hasn't been resolved.

I think if there were big steps taken quickly to ensure justice for police who commit serious misconduct, then the protests would stop, then the riots would stop, and then we could get back to normal. I think that's the fastest route back to peace. But the establishment is making it hard to make these changes to police accountability, so the demonstrations have taken on an extreme form. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable" as JFK said. It's just a natural law of the universe. And then the fact there are paid agent provocateurs deliberately trying to make things even more violent, is definitely not helping.

If the people of America had a laser-like focus on fixing the issue of justice for police misconduct, then we could fix all this in a matter of weeks. Instead I see a lot of media that is dividing-and-conquering us, pitting us against each other, in what should actually be a unifying moment where we should all come together against a common problem we all face as Americans.

We fix the police justice problem, we quell people's emotions, and that solves the protest, which removes the cover for the riots and those opportunists just looking to loot and destroy. It's the easiest path forward, but the media is doing everything it can to keep us from collectively realizing this path.
