Agreed in general. In real life it can quickly become quite messy. For example, I have zero issues with HK rioting after all other venues are exhausted. It is difficult for me to argue that HK is magically different from the rest of the world. I do not advocate violence, but I understand the instinct to inflict pain after pain is inflicted upon you. The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can make it a little less bad place to live in. That said, rioters here seem more like opportunists than protesters..

And there's definitely some shady stuff going on with the videos of the person who broke windows at AutoZone. Unfortunately, I think the police department's handling of this has only encouraged rioting. I would give them the benefit of the doubt if the officer was suspended pending an investigation or review. But he was fired. That's a mountain of paperwork and HR involvement - so they were probably pretty certain they couldn't defend what he did. But they didn't arrest him, which I'm pretty is less of a bureaucratic headache, until after the rioting. Maybe someone can give a plausible and reasonable explanation for that sequence of events, but from where I'm sitting this just screams "rioting got our attention".
