If police actually held their peers accountable, people wouldn't be rioting and this downward spiral would stop.

  It doesn't seem like rioters wait patiently to see if someone will be held accountable, before rioting.

    Really? it seems like many of the protests occur directly after major acquittals of police?

      Many is listed on the Wikipedia definition of a weasel word so it's hard to reply to this. But, specifically, the two largest recent ones: * George Floyd protests happened almost one full year before the trial outcome (which wasn't an acquittal btw) * Kenosha protests happened 6 months before the acquittal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha_unrest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha_unrest

    Sure, people are angry and primed to riot at a moments notice. All it takes is a short video uploaded to the Internet to set one off now. They have lost patience because they have lost trust. How did this happen? It wasn't overnight.
