You're framing the issue as if the mob meant to attack a police station but accidentally started robbing Targets and grocery stores instead. That's ridiculous.

> Unfortunately, the position that many poor people are in doesn't afford them the luxury of being concerned with other peoples private property
There is a huge difference between being concerned about other's property, and intentional wanton destruction of other people's property.

Nobody has done any kind of survey of who the rioters are, and from what little we do know, many of those arrested in the larger riots were out of state travelers. He's painting the most optimistic possible scenario and it's still stomach turning. It's complete moral depravity through and through.
