as i said i do not condone the looting. but as long the cops act this arrogant and definately not acting civil, we wont progress this situation. this whole situation started just because of that, the cops should be the bigger party and excuse themselves, not adding fuel to the fire like they do now.
looking at this from the outside, the increased authoroty demanded by the U.S. police does not seem acceptable. i definately support the protesters.
better tools and tactics for sure. if you live in absurd-land.
Too many assumptions and presumptions of motives in here.
The protesters only demands are that the officer be charged with murder. I can't get behind that cause unless we have more facts.
If they were protesting the lack of competence in the local department and how this entire thing has been handled then yes I'd join them.
There are now reports that the officer has a broken eye socket and that there are 12 black witnesses to back up the officers explanation (which we have yet to hear)
IF this is all true (and only if) then obviously all non lethal actions were taken. But until we hear actual facts I will focus my anger towards the looters and the way the government has handled this whole thing.

Charging an officer with murder and convicting him are two different things. Unfortunately though if he is charged and then is found innocent the public at large won't believe the verdict and we may see another Inglewood Riots situation. It's better to not charge him till we have enough facts to charge him properly......but good luck explaining that to peoples feelings.
Are you saying just charge him? Because it's not the same as a conviction?
