Unfortunately, we have a huge double standard in our society. If a person of a specific race, religion, social group, or sexual orientation commits a crime, it's not politically correct to generalize their actions towards the group as a whole. If a cop commits a crime, though, it's perfectly acceptable within our current society to paint all of law enforcement with the same brush.
The current rioting is counterproductive. It quickly erodes sympathy most people would have for the black community when they are out there looting and destroying the property of parties that are innocent and not even associated with the killing of George Floyd.
Yes sir.
