1. The line between "protest" and "riot" is fuzzy and arbitrary at best, and that's without considering that police violence against a protest will almost universally turn it into a riot because humans are humans.
2. Are you seriously trying to say that racial issues have nothing to do with excessive police surveillance?
- _chu1 4y agoThose riots had absolutely nothing to do with police surveillance.
- zhengyi13 4y agoCall it "police malfeasance" then, and put both their warrantless dragnets and their racist violence under that umbrella.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> put both their warrantless dragnets and their racist violence under that umbrella Which is a politically worthless coalition if you want to actually get something done.

- maerF0x0 4y ago> "riot" is fuzzy I think theft, property damage, violence upon innocent bystanders all clearly count as rioting. The fuzzy part is more like what proportion of the people are rioting and how many are protesting and how to separate the former from the latter for the sake of justice.
