It has been terrifying and astounding to see the police response to protests against brutality with... more brutality.

Versus what though? Outnumbered 25:1, rampant looting and mayhem all around, and seeing your mates hit with bottles of water filled with quikcrete, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.

Just because something makes you feel bad for society doesn’t mean the actions at an individual basis are purely malicious or unreasonable.

In both absolute terms and by averages, the protestors have demonstrated better individual restraint than law enforcement.

Which is quite an indictment considering the protestors can be joined by, as you noted, and random opportunist or provocateur.
