I listened to many, many, people, on the ground.

I live a few blocks away from the location of the Floyd incident.

Attacking police officers (or really anyone, at all) shouldn't be encouraged, in my opinion. Ever.

Is an eye-for-an-eye the type of justice that's needed? I don't like it.

These are actual quotes:

"Fuck police, shoot the pigs!" "Innocents are gonna die" "This is just the start, you ready? You ready?" "We're going to burn this fucker down" "Kill the white folks! Kill whitey!"

Whatever. I've been labeled racist for not wanting to watch my city burn. Can't we have justice without violence?

Yes we can. In fact, this is the entire point of the police and criminal justice system - to reduce violence by providing a predictable and civil source of justice. Unfortunately yours has gone rogue, leading to the failed societal conditions you're experiencing.
