What does that have to do with anything? Was the public harsher on sports rioters than it was on the Ferguson rioters?
By global scale, do you mean looking at other countries and throughout history?
For us to be able to compare the public reaction to that of Baltimore's and access whether or not there's a double standard, it would have to be done in the US, and in the same decade.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
