As someone of mixed ethnicity who, if I was there could easily be victimized by a senseless mob to whom I owe nothing and have committed no crime against.. yea I am not happy with how the mainstream media promotes and covers this story, downplaying the victims of the chaos and sympathizing with outpourings of anger even if illegal. To clarify, looters should not be shot, law should prevail, and the policeman involved in the original incident should be investigated.. but the mainstream media is to my mind basically behind the looters, and I know if by chance I or someone like me were to be caught in the crossfire and killed, the mainstream media, posturing as champions of justice, would just implicitly shrug. So yea I can't help but feel disaffected by this coverage, no matter how vile the originating incident.

You are enabling a fascist government. You are complicit.

This is the strategy to vilify any movements from the people: focus on how they are acting violent, when this violence is very well in proportion to the enemy’s first move.

How is looting innocent shop owners in proportion to the wrongdoings of the police force?

And if this 'an eye for an eye' philosophy is what you are promoting, how is Trump's tweet then out of place?

Property damage < loss of human life

I know this may be a difficult thing to accept for some people on this site, since it is at its core a tech investment site, but no amount of financial damage would be "proportional" to systemic excusal of murder.

You are naive to think mass riots, looting and arson won’t lead to deaths. Someone with respect for human life wouldn't set fire to a building or repeatedly punch a disabled lady in a wheelchair in the back of the head and take her purse. Already at least 7 people have been shot. 63 people died in the 1992 LA riots.
