I understand the outcry over the shooting of the teenager. I understand that Blacks in this country have suffered more than many other ethnic groups. I understand that the Black race in the US has not made it to being on equal standing with Whites. I know these things. I don't have personal experience as I am not Black, but I want you to answer me one question:
If you owned a store in Missouri, and you sided with the Blacks on the one, would you be OK with some of them robbing your store because "it's justice?"
If you can't answer this honestly and find yourself making excuses for criminals, your silence is one of the reasons bad people get away with their actions.
How about separating the two. Rioters deserve a response.....protesters do not. The citizens pay these guys to know the difference
Show me where the police have used unnecessary force against protesters. The likely scenario with the journalists at the McDonald's was that police felt that a mob was coming and wanted to evacuate patrons at the businesses in the direction that the mob was moving.

That's not what the manager of the McDonalds was told

The reporter was told he was being arrested for trespassing.
Go read the reporters account of his arrest.
If a black kid killed a cop, or anyone, on a street in front of multiple witnesses he'd be in jail within the hour. Curtis Reeves (white) was also immediately arrested.
There have been lot's of incidents where civilians have shot and killed another person and they were not immediately thrown in jail. Do you disagree? If so, I don't mind quickly proving you wrong.

You're taking away from the government getting their money (taxes) and also messing up the infrastructure of the city that most city officials and personnel need to use everyday and in turn hurting their pockets too. Revolutions and Evolution has always been celebrated from what I witnessed and read.
WOW!!!
I bet if it was your business, car or home getting destroyed, you'd quickly change your story?
Oh, you wouldn't, ok, let's test that, burn down your home in protest. Send us the link to the story when it comes out.

So, you are comparing the police department to Nazi Germany.

Have you ever watched cops? The camera will clearly catch the perpetrator. The cops pursue the suspect and catch him in his apartment complex, sweaty and out of breath from running. Suddenly, you have his friends and family appearing and directly lying and saying he was up in the apartment with them. I've seen it many times.
