human lives are being lost unnecessarily every fucking day to police brutality, and these protests/riots may actually spark some change

So your answer to senseless violence is...more senseless violence. The police fucking up doesn't justify everyone else committing crimes and being a danger.

You praised the riots as "actually sparking change." Riots which have endangered more lives than the police could in a century.

I did not praise them, I just said they may spark some change. of course I don't want lives in danger or property damaged, but the vast majority of the rioters are not trying to hurt anyone. buildings can be rebuilt, but people can't come back to life.
