Saying that protests of racial killings leads to riots is diluting the fact that there is a problem in this country with the balance of justice. I don’t know if you’re combining the two intentionally or not, but it’s important that you know the impact of the way you choose to make your point. Whether you choose to recognize that and adjust how you simultanously recognize the obvious imbalance that justifies protests and systematic change AND express your justified outrage at the riots is entirely up to you.
But by conflating the two you ignore the existence of the underlying problem and become part of it.

No they wouldn't, we'd here about for a day or two and it would fade. Last year 48 officers were killed in the line of duty, 9 unarmed black men were. How many of those 48 officers did you hear CNN reporting on?
And stop putting words in my mouth, I never said that racial protests would lead to riots, I said their wouldn't be either of those in the situation You gave.
Right now Minneapolis has a problem with there PD that they need to take a hard deep look at.
You sure do make a lot of assumptions about what I think from two lines of text.
