Maximum sentence is 10 years, she's unlikely to get that, but _minimum_ is 5 years IIRC. That's a _long_ time. And then you're a felon and you can't find a decent job. What was the calculus there, I wonder? Under what circumstances would a person rationally consider torching a police cruiser to be worth the risk of 5 years in the slammer?

Perhaps when prioritising their morality and cause, over what's beneficial for them?

What "morality" or "cause" are you talking about? She burned a police cruiser.

The war against police brutality, of course.

Kneeling didn't work, soooo...

Expected respondes: pass a law. Protest peacefully. Stand in front of city hall with assault rifles. Vote for (some centrist).

Just because you may not like how someone is dealing with the fact that they could be killed with no recourse by cops because of the color of their skin, doesn't mean their methods are invalid or even irrational.

The classic star wars question - is Luke Skywalker a rebel hero, or a terrorist threat to order? Before the Empire blew up an entire planet to make a point, it was a fairly valid question.

Please explain how a white woman torching a police cruiser advances _any_ goals other than increasing the dramatically underrepresented white female prison population. Please also mention which other types of crime you consider conducive to rectifying the situation in any meaningful way.
