If the protesters wanted no looting and non-violence they wouldn’t schedule the protest for night time on a weekend in a crowded shopping district.
They've gathered because they're unhappy with their life and believe it's anything or any-ones fault this is so. Race will always be their scapegoat as will the police for stopping, arresting and imprisoning the criminals among them.
They are so quick to misjudge situations because most don't hold a mentality for any depth of critical thinking and instead go entirely by how they feel when they see anything .....Of course all communities have a share in that but it reveals itself consistently within the colored communities.
