Why can't they just admit to the wrongness that led to this and start holding officers accountable. That would calm people down. How about a couple of trials and some indictments? But noooooo, we'll just send a clown and a guy in a Spiderman costume to calm down the kids.
Yup..would be fine with that as long as you apply the same to the criminals looting right now.

I don't condone violence
but the police do need to be (re)taught their place in society.
Obviously you do condone it, because there is no "but" to justify this kind of violence against the Community. Destroying public property is lawless behavior, and accomplishes absolutely nothing.
The social issues going on inside this Country right now are not an excuse for irrational actions and criminal activity. The victims parents are begging for these people to respect the soul of their child by not committing violence in his name.
This has now become more about personal gain, and an excuse to be violent and out of control. It's counter productive to solving the issues that cause these sorts of things. ~$heopleNation

That's kind of insulting to the locals there. This is like calling in a Spiderman entertainer to calm down a rowdy birthday party. It says "We don't think you are justified in your anger, here's a black guy to calm you. You like black guys, right?"

Looters gunna loot (haha)
A looter goes to a protest to loot, a protester goes to a protest to protest something. Is EVERYONE looting? I doubt it...
Forgive me my ignorance but what is "V's"

Right now whatever protesting going on has been replaced by repeated scenes of violence and looting.
I just watched a video of a female reporter being surrounded by a group of thugs that intimidated her, pushed her to the ground and stole her gear.
What does any of that have to do with protesting police injustice?
Vs = vs which auto grammar check capitalized.

Have you considered that maybe these clips that are chosen are possibly a small part of the whole? Maybe said clips are chosen with extreme bias? I distinctly remember the news focusing more on the rapes, violence, and littering than the message during OWS protests.

This is the perfect false flag op to give a reason to break out all that shiny new military grade equipment the local law enforcement agencies have been gifted with. The threats spread from city to city and, surprise!...marshall law.

If violence solves problems then why isn't there peace in the Middle East?
