The riots have killed more people than Chauvin did... the madness needs to stop.

How can you compare the 1004 people killed by police in 2019, people who are literally hired to protect us, with random violence in response?

You can't compare 330 million people's actions with that of the hired police force... it's not really a fair comparison.

Also why are you focused on taking down the rioters rather than seeking justice for police misconduct?

Police should be held to a higher standard than a random mob.
But an important point that needs to be made is that the media is promoting a general narrative of recent events as being peaceful protests. There is violence, killing and destruction taking place and it gets buried behind headlines of "Peaceful Protest".

No, police should be held to the standard of servants for civilians and the sovereign people. But police are enforcers of state corporations, municipality corporation and some horrid laws.

I agree with all of that 100%
