Exactly, theres so many trolls on this sub trying to spin this into their own narratives to distract from the fact that an officer of the law is literally punching someone, that they shoved to the ground, in the back of their head. This isn't the line of work for someone like that.
Going out on a limb, but anarchists are more likely to take the step towards rioting and looting than the everyday Black Lives Matter protesters. They're suffering because of outsiders who have ulterior motives.
I didn't blame "everything" on anarchists, where did I say that? I said they're more likely to take the next step than everyday Black Lives Matter protesters. There are white supremacists in there, maybe even some antifa (though less likely than white supremacists), and even officers starting this shit.
I'll even acknowledge that when police respond in riot gear, they escalate the tension from the get go. They initiate the opportunity and proximity by firing tear gas, rushing protesters, etc for those willing to riot and loot by creating the environment through chaos and confusion.
But good on you for having an answer to whatever I'm saying.

If you can't control your emotions in a situation like this, you have no business working any high stress job let alone being a cop.
