So you are strictly defining rioting as a large group of people committing violence against property. In that case, no the police aren't doing much of that. Most violence against property that the police are behind is slashing tires and destroying cameras. And they're wrecking less stuff than the rioters are (but probably more than the protesters are).
But then, what do you call a group of people commuting violence against other people? Because thats where the police are directing their force against. Not buildings, not stuff. Human beings. So, no thats not rioting. Its worse.
So in your world ALL police are wrong and bad? Yep, there are bad ones that should be dealt with but to lump them all into that lot is wrong too.
Burning down destroying businesses is pure ignorance and does NOTHING to fixing the problems a few police officers are responsible.
Being passed out ***** in a Wendy’s drive thru, failing a sobriety test, resisting arrest (DWI is illegal in every state) taking an officer’s taser, running, then trying to shoot an officer with that taser is also illegal and will get you shot! That guy was wrong, pure plain and simple.
I dont have an issue of pointing out blame but to just say it’s all the police fault is not right either.
