You're going out of your way to rationalize innocent people getting hurt because some people in an entirely separate city and incident are looting or causing property damage.

All of the videos and incidents I linked showed 100% from multiple angles that the police were the ones instigating the issue. They shoved a woman out of the way because she was just standing there and sent her to the ER. Journalists were blinded because they were simply doing their job and the police decided to take potshots. You're arguing about 'legal immunity' when we're talking about cops blatantly breaking the law and abusing their privilege as police officers to get away with it. And the reason why this entire incident occurred was because of police murdering someone so obviously that people couldn't look the other way. Maybe you should start by blaming them for instigating this whole mess.

"the police were the ones instigating the issue" - absolutely not true.

The reporter shot in the eye and the reporter temporarily detained were literally at riots in Minn. Being at a riot when the police have lawfully asked you to leave is 'instigating'. Literally requiring the police to come and use force to move them, and 'the police are the instigators'? This defies reason.

And the 'shoved' woman in the video walked right up to the police officer and was clearly saying something - I don't think it justifies the response but she was literally instigating a confrontation.

" Maybe you should start by blaming them for instigating this whole mess."

I don't 'blame police' because one of them did something egregious, I blame that officer, just as I don't blame 'Americans' or reasonable 'protestors', for looting, murdering, destroying things - I blame the people doing it.
