I'm not sure what the purpose of looting is nor do I see violent protests ever bridging the racial divide.
I'm gonna guess that people doing the looting are not particularly concerned about bridging the racial divide and people trying to protest peacefully underestimated the ability of a few shitheads to turn it violent.
Sad thing is I'm sure people looting are the exact ones that will complain about discrimination from police.
Violent protests and looting will only create more problems and get more people hurt, if not killed. I can understand the reason for the protests and that the four officers need to be charged to court; so let the protesters allow the law to take its course. Because the police would not sit back and watch properties destroyed, people attacked, plus the looting going on, they'll take action, and things are not getting better this way.
The protesters can show their support for George through nonviolent protests or on their social media handles to seek justice, but definitely not by looting and other violent acts.
I have no issues with protesters because you have the right to a peaceful protest. Not sure what the point is considering the officers have been fired and they will go through the legal system. But if you want to protest, go for it. Because people are shitty, they're using this as a free pass to destroy property and loot businesses.
