You don't attack non-violent protestors or bystanders. You use proportional violence and only as a last resort.

But more importantly, you avoid these kinds of situations by not being an absolutely inhumane and racist police force that should be a disgrace to any nation that calls itself civilized.

I do find it fascinating and a bit scary that you can read this article, watch the linked videos, and then come up with a comment like this though. Is this kind of stuff that normalized in the US?

Yes, unfortunately, it is normalized, even 9 years ago, the UC Davis pepper spray incident shocked people, but we hardly have changed since then.

If you go to /r/publicfreakout and sort by /rising, you will see LOTS of videos of some rioters being extremely violent.

Two sides to every story.

Peaceful protesters deserve respect and to be heard. Rioters and looters should be dealt with harshly by the law.

Do you not see the dozens of videos on that sub showing protestors being shot, shoved down, tear gassed, for nothing?
