Not an argument for this site I guess. But this is what happens when you have political leaders picking sides in violence. Trump literally tweeted "when the looting starts the shooting starts" (not before this event, of course -- it's an example). You think rhetoric like that doesn't have the effect of empowering police to abuse their power against people they don't like?

Frankly, if you value stuff over people's lives, well, I don't know how to teach you that you should care.

Secondly, this is a single, solitary reason out of the myriad of other reasons, why we, as as a species, invented insurance.

Please, give up your childish John Wayne fantasies, which, to be honest are barbaric and counter to the very essence of civilization, and join the adults who build societies and systems that protect people.
