Your concern is the restraint against the police? When the riot is burning down the houses of innocents, robbing them and even taking their lives? The kid's dead. Settle the issue with the police in court, but keep the innocents out of this. People are far too focused on what's already lost, while ignoring what's about to be lost.

  > Your concern is the restraint against the police? When the riot is burning down the houses of innocents, robbing them and even taking their lives? What I find ironic is that the French Revolution, with its execution of the previous government, gave birth to the conditions for modern property rights to exist [0]. I find it double ironic since my country is founded from a riot triggered by state violence [1].
