Except that it sounds like a lot of the looting was organized. Students like having a crowd, building some barricades, and setting a few trash cans on fire. This also sounds like the kind of protest that gets taken advantage of, abused, and userped by people who don’t care about the original idea.
Things turned violent after the police went apeshit violent on kids. A 15 year old had his face smashed and teeth shattered because a cop shot a smoke grenade right into his face. Another had his hand blown off because riot police are using concussion grenades.
So yes, people are rioting because of police brutality and there are looters taking advantage of the police being spread thin.
But what it sounds like is that ghe government should actually listen to protestors to prevent bad actors instead of be heavy handed against a bunch of kids.
