Violence Is No Answer

If what I saw on that video of that Wisconsin man being shot (in the back) by the police as he was trying to get in his car and runaway was all there was to it, that shooting was a despicable act of cowardice on the part of those cops, and should be punished, severely. He was not presenting the possibility of violence against those cops, and shooting him was out of the question. But after it “went down,” for people to go out and burn down the nearest auto supply store and its millions of dollars in inventory (for example), that was owned by innocent people who had their lives invested, and had nothing to do with that shooting, is WRONG. The fools that rioted and destroyed the property of innocent people will, of course, say they are complicit, since they accepted the protection of those cops. But the same could be said of the rioters, before the shooting, so that’s no argument. Further violence is NOT the answer. Yes, demonstrate. Peacefully. That is lawful. To create more violence is to make a criminal of yourself, and for that, you should end up in prison. (Just common sense)
