If you were trying to make a peaceful statement, and here's some asshole destroying shit, wouldn't you and the other 'peaceful protestors' stop the asshole destroying shit? If that happened, we wouldn't be here talking about it right now. Cities wouldn't have been burnt down. Statues would still be up. The SRV statue wouldn't be ****ed up right now. See where I'm going with this?

I agree Bill. during/after 911, we were told how " not all muslims are bad" and " we should judge all by the actions of a few" and the expectation laid out for muslims was to report the bad guys. If you want to be seen as good and not be viewed as terrorists, help us get the terrorists. Why isn't that same expectation applied here? It clearly isn't. Whether peaceful, antifa, BLM, anti-police, or just an ignorant participant, no one is making any attempt to stop it.
It is FAR too late now, but the clearest message that could have been sent was for 10 officers to immediately jump on the first person that threw a water bottle, a brick, broke a window etc. That says loudly " You will not get away with this". Instead they were told, or chose, to just let it happen. Now the genie is out of the bottle and there is no return.
Edit: There is one option that could be effective. The cities collaborate and decide at midnight July 1st. it ends. Every officer, National Guard, Security Guard, mall cop, crosswalk Guard, School police officer, etc, starts in the center of town and expands out arresting, fighting, tasing, shooting their way in an expanding perimeter until the rats are gone. Come back the next night and wait. Do it until they stop coming back.
States/cities have had NO ISSUE violating the Constitution for the "alleged" health crisis. Apply the same to the safety crisis.
It is downright PATHETIC that a mom gets arrested on a play ground for letting her kids play, while a guy smashing windows and stealing shit, walks away.
