A lot of the videos portray violent rioters/looters. A lot of the ones of the police are ambiguous because they don't show what behavior warranted the police reaction.
I've also seen a lot of videos of peaceful protests with police walking/talking/marching with the protesters.
We do justice a disservice when we lump everyone and every precinct together.
Rather, the repeatedly demonstrated fact that the system is willing to protect the "bad apples" (read: outright thugs) corrupts the entire policing system and undermines its legitimacy, regardless of how many benign officers there are.
I've yet to see an instance of this that wasn't precipitated by cops showing up in ironman armor to a peaceful protest and firing on people with all sorts of military-police toys.
The violent instigators are the cops, across America. Even Target came out and said "whatever, our shit's insured, this problem with the cops needs to be solved."
Animals.
How about credit where credit is due - systemic police racism, and when that was protested, insane amounts of police brutality.
All people had to do was not be racist.
The looters in this video are acting like animals.

No. They are rioters and looters, and guilty of aggravated battery.
This has nothing to do with race. It has to do with behavior.
