That is an interesting read. Indeed it doesn't make sense for people to be expected to follow all rules in place and then some, while timidly asking please for basic human rights from those denying them and breaking rules without consequences. I don't condone riots by any means, but they're sure as fuck understandable when peaceful methods have either fallen on deaf ears or achieved the bare minimum of improvement for.. centuries.

Also, haven't there been multiple reports that in nearly all cases there hasn't been much of any spread of covid as a result of protests, contrary to fears? The combination of being outdoors, wearing masks, and distancing as much as possible under the circumstances mitigates it a fair amount.

Whenever somebody suggests that violence or riots will not solve anything or will make the problem worse, they are either incredibly ignorant of history or deliberately arguing in bad faith.

I don't like violent protests but at the end of the day it's going to keep happening the longer the issue persists and at a certain point it's not fair to blame people for it when they are being preyed upon and ignored.
