Here in Italy riots usually happen directly against the institutions.
In Baltimore it was pretty much black people throwing stuff at everyday white people. The difference in race allows for a stronger generalization by both parties.
Similar to when we attack institutions, we just go against all politicians. We fail to understand that many of them are not corrupt and are on our side.
Generalization is a scary thing.

The protests in general are against law enforcement. > We fail to understand that many of them are not corrupt and are on our side. This doesn't seem relevant, the protests are not happening against "white people at large." Law enforcement is not on the side of the oppressed in this case. The corruption is systemic.
