Yes, I know the details that have been reported. My question is about what hasn't been reported on.
I wouldn't have been there. So what ? In Jacob Blake's shoes I wouldn't have resisted arrest. So what ?

FWIW, I agree with you - but that doesn't necessarily mean that we're right in the eyes of the law.
Some good reading.

I was answering the question put to me. If you don't like the answer, maybe you should reassess the question?

The government is incompetent when a virus ravages our nation while its leader says it will go away like a miracle. 186K and counting. By October we should be over 200K and by Election day, at least 225K. We should have never gotten to that point. Trump needs to be held accountable. Plus, these riots are happening in Trump's America, not Biden's.

Yeah, people on the far left are big fans of authoritarianism, in their minds, the president is and should be a totalitarian dictator. I mean, it's weird, but that's just how those kinds of people are.

My question wasn't whether oor not you'd be at the protest/riot. I asked ... given the earlier encounter with JR; later, JR trying to engage and get closer to KR; the gunshot; JR throwing something at and chasing KR --- would you, a reasonable person, think JR had in mind a peaceful interaction with KR ?

Peaceful? No. Violent to the point of justifying lethal force? Not from what I've seen on the videos.
