He mentioned shooting at looters, not protesters. Maybe you didn't see that part because Twitter has hidden the tweet?

- totalZero 6y agoShooting at looters instead of arresting them and taking them before a judge? That's reminiscent of the very brutal police practices that sparked this chaos in the first place.
- pnako 6y agoIn which country do you live? Shooting rubber bullets at rioters and looters is standard practice pretty much everywhere in democracies, and in non-democracies they tend to go straight to lethal ammo.
- mrighele 6y agoYou're right, I mixed the two. In any case I think my point still stands; in most European countries both would be addressed with police batons and in case of violence rubber bullets and tear gas. From his tweet I don't think he was thinking about rubber bullets.
- skocznymroczny 6y agoNo it wouldn't. Most cases of looting in Europe are just forgotten about because it's done by minorities in countries like France or UK and it's a controversial topic to talk about so police and governments would rather just pretend it doesn't happen.
