> Everyone has a breaking point - republicans were about to riot over wearing a mask to protect their families; these people are rioting over being murdered and ignored.

There was a republican protest over COVID where there was mass theft, looting, and arson?

Armed white men stormed Michigan's state Capitol if you don't remember. The only reason there was no violence is because the police were ordered to stand down. See the difference?

Stormed the capitol? You mean entered the capitol building -- as is your right as a citizen? Having a gun is not violence.

And, while police can certainly instigate violence, I find it difficult to believe that someone had to steal a TV from target or loot the apple store (as happened in portland) because the police instigated them to.
