So if I have this straight in St Louis when the people are protesting against police brutality, the polices solution is to be more brutal? No kidding it’s an arms race. I’ll even bet they are using kettling to invoke a reaction from protestors. They aren’t passively responding to protestors, they are active antagonizing the public to justify their brutality.

If it was just protesting but not rioting then that would be a different story. The tools are a force multiplier which is necessary when you're outnumbered. There are fewer police than rioters.
