Rioting and Looting is not a Protest

I'm saddened, yet again, to see another black man killed by excessive force of police. I'm not one to cry often, but I sobbed hearing that poor man cry out for his mother as the barbarian cop kneeled on his neck. Another death. Another family robbed of their loved one. Passing a fake bill should not be a death sentence. This isn't China!

I would caution the protestors to avoid rioting and looting. Looting may feel like justice, but it is self defeating and alienates people who would otherwise support your cause. Rioting and looting also reinforce negative stereotypes about black people as irrational, violent, and prone to crime.
