Well. To use an example.
Lets use Rodney King incident for police brutality in USA 1991. Here is how they could have responded.
"Stand out police station with a sign protesting and demanding justice" understandable, racism is never ok.
Now the stupid decision would be during a riot, kill innocent people who had nothing to do with the police. Not to mention encouraging thug crime aswell and saying anything against it... (RACIST)
Now a person with critical thinking who'd defend this would give reasons for why it happend, and dont look at it like they are all bad people just because one guy did it.
In either case. My point stand that as a culture. This is what you get when people find stuff that divides them or are not taught critical thinking. Bullying as free speech becomes more or less a thing (which i would generally oppose to make people talk about the issue than to trying to win warrior points in terms of human consideration)

Especially as the Republican strategy has essentially become bullying more naked than it’s been since the first Klan.Indeed the riots were not about one incident with one organization it was a frustration within the city that had been boiling for decades .
And taking the LA riots without even bothering to take into account the racial tensions that remain to this day (and the numerous race riots that happened long before that, many of which were largely committed by white people on black people; see The Knick, Season 1, Episode 7. It’s about a real race riot in 1900 where a black man kills a cop who tried to arrest his wife for soliciting and it causes a full-blown riot with white people looking for black blood, and City Hall refusing to protect those citizens most in danger, and bear in mind, this is more or less what happened IRL except I don’t think the cop propositioned her himself) is fundamentally dishonest. It doesn’t take a genius to show that the riots (especially lashing out against people who had nothing to do with Rodney King’s beating, including Korean convenience stores) were not only immoral, but counterproductive, but your analysis leaves out crucial parts of the narrative.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
