Gee.  I thought you were fact free.  You just did your worldview scattered with violent daydreams, not deal in facts.  But that tape has been on record and widely interpreted for several weeks now.  Judging from the response, the people are not waiting for you to interpret the facts and form your opinion.  That is no way to get anywhere.

I dunno, the stuff that I watched your folks do in Minneapolis and St Paul and other blue cities looked pretty violent. I think we may have to pass a bunch of laws that makes it legal to shoot your folks on sight and agree to pay more taxes to beef up our police forces. I mean, if we can't rely on liberals or Democrats to control their on shit then we are going have to adjust by doing the opposite. We may even have to establish borders and form mew states.

Sure.  Exaggerating violence is much better than justice or equality.  

Turning a blind eye to looting, burning buildings, the destruction of all kinds of property, the killing and injuring of police and residents else where who had nothing to do with George Floyd's death is pretty dumb of you myself. If you think I'm exaggerating then you must be deaf, dumb and blind or you weren't paying any attention and ignoring the entire thing as it was all going on and we were watching it live on TV.

Courts of law will turn no blind eyes to looting, arson, vandalism, assault and battery. Cameras are everywhere, and in many cases people who have brought cameras to document police brutality might catch such an offense as looting. The peaceful protester is not a reliable ally of the person who commits a crime during a demonstration. 

Of course, most retail establishments have cameras for detecting criminal acts such as shoplifting, whether in normal time or during civil unrest. Note well: the right of privacy does not apply to criminal acts because there is no presumed right to commit any criminal offense.

The problem isn't the demonstration: the problem is that a police officer apparently suffocated a defenseless person by kneeling on his throat for nine minutes. 

There is no conflict between a peaceful protest and an expectation of law and order.
