Well at least we all know to come prepared for a non-peaceful protest next time since theres no consequences for police brutality even at a protest against police brutality.
Cops arent trained for de-escalation, they apply increasing amounts of force until they get their way. Doing that on a mass scale enough just backs the public into a corner where they feel that violence against the police is their only recourse. The cops are going to be real fuckin surprised the next time a mass protest like that breaks out again, I don’t think they realize how much goodwill they lost.
