Went to two protests, turned into riots, theyre getting intense 10

So I went to my first protest on Saturday, I got there late and it was just a shitshow. First thing I saw was a blown up cop car, and a liquor store being looted.. and I specifically went to this area because I thought it would be not as crazy. Last night, it was more legit but it was pretty much just the coos tearing gas and shooting rubber bullets at people that werent even being aggressive. After being tear gassed for an hour, it turned physical, maby thats what they wanted. They brought the national guard, and riot police, plus the Local PD to a small city.
I promise, those cops were fucking everyone up for nothing. Im not some bot spreading propoganda, look at my post history (if possible.) I hope people truly believe that the police are the aggressors too. It went from a peaceful protest, albeit loud, to a literal flaming dumpster fire. Im now worried that this is some ploy to make us lose sight regarding other situations. I dont know.
Im not for the looting, thats bullshit... but fuck some of these police, there are awesome ones I know this, but these bad ones are really coming to light right now. Who shoots hard ass rubber bullets at people who are not being aggressive? Oh and by the way, Trump is on some bullshit. Dont agree? Thats fine.

That's crazy shit. I wouldn't go to a protest like that because I knew that'd it'd be that way. It's fucked up period. Seeing anger,violence, destruction is damaging to the soul

How many people do you think it takes to light up a car? You think everyone deserves punishment for that? People need to stop fucking acting like the police are justified via discrimination. That is stuuuupid

Have you watched what's been happening? There's good people at these protests, but there's a lot of assholes destroying cities and people's livelihoods. It's not cool to burn down and loot small businesses.

The car incident happened on saturday, the next day there was a peaceful protest where the protesters were shot with nonlethals.
Police overreaction out of fear, is ironically, in large part what this is about. Police jumping to use violence to quell unrest before it's even a thing is a pretty big part of the problem.

It sounds like you have no idea what's going on.
I don't know what car incident you're referring to, but I watched a stream of protests in multiple cities and there was cars and buildings on fire in most every stream. I watched rioters throwing bricks threw windows and looting businesses. I saw a store owner almost get beaten to death, a guy with a maga hat attacked by a group of rioters, a lady getting punched in the face by some asshole.
There's plenty of stories where people were just acting like assholes.

THe video of the looters beating up that woman and her husband while the husband tried to defend her is sickening. IT's on the other pub thread.
This dude just straight up runs up and start beating her to the ground throwing and kicking her. WTF>

The one in the op dude. Just because there were fires and assaults in Cincinnati doesn't mean there's an excuse to shoot peaceful protesters in Boston with rubber bullets.

I watched hours of video of peaceful protesters getting confronted by police and then ultimately attacked by them. That's called escalating the situation, but guess what? It's what police do best, escalation.

What does that have to do with random bystanders and peaceful protesters being assaulted, having their rights waived? Seriously. If we need to be punished for the deeds of others then what about the police? Are they impugn because they "stand" for something? Fuck that. Respect is earned and their colours have lost meaning.

The only time I saw peaceful protesters being assaulted was after curfew when police told them it was time to leave and if they didn’t then force would be used against them.

Im so proud of so many people peacefully protesting. Being loud and showing their heart. Im never going to stop. Looting is one thing, what Im seeing and around is different. It looks like the police in my area have been very kind tonigtht... but yes, they tear gassed us yesterday for nothing. Today is different.

Ah so unless you're a good bitch and do as you're told by an public figure without the authority to do so - you deserve what's coming. Gotcha, Police State Billy. If you don't know what I'm talking about then do a small amount of research. You'll see people getting thrown around and pushed and hit with shit and tased and shot with various things for merely protesting. They'll be sitting there minding their own business but as long as they aren't doing as they're told.... ! Better run away from those cops or you're gonna deserve to get beat! Oh wait, there's video of them chasing down and assaulting people already actively evading them. What were we talking about again?

It's not fair but I don't think it's for nothing. I guess the reason they do it is because it's impossible to keep track of who's rioting and who's not with a crowd like that. So when people start causing trouble the only effective way to put a stop to it is to clear out everyone as quickly as possible.

You can’t even protest. They’ve put out curfews and arrest you for unlawful protests. America is lost unless we really organize

I think this image says quite a bit. I read so many postings and articles over the past 3 days from people at protesting locations. There were some instances where the police showed up to the location, kneeled with the protesters and as soon as the photos were taken for the press with the police showing their "solidarity", they put on gas masks and started pepper spraying everyone there.
I am fully aware of the bad apples that exist in every bunch as I am also aware of the age in which we live where information is so manipulated and convoluted to a point where the truth is almost non-existent.
There have been documented cases, worldwide and throughout history, that people in power have paid or done favors for people to infiltrate peaceful protests and to start the looting and chaos to discredit the peaceful cause and who knows when this is happening now or not. There are a lot of self-serving morons out there fucking it up for everyone too.
That's all I've got to say about that...
