I could be completely wrong, but the number of potential rioters (actual rioters + protestors) likely outnumbered police. The scale is so much larger and potential for damage and destruction is huge (over 200 businesses looted/destroye

I don't think it's entirely fair to just look at overall spending. For instance, nearly half of new drugs were produced in the US, so presumably you pay a premium to get access to the newest stuff. Second, other countries have pri
