When you're told that the protests are about these instances, what purpose does it serve to try to say "what about"? I guess because it's easy to discount actual injustice by suggesting it's just a bunch of "criminals" "resisting", but you either have to be intentionally dishonest in hopes that you can steer away from the point being contended or you have to have your head buried under a lot of sand to think that describes the problem. 

I'm pretty sure that the entire populous has admitted that example is wrong, and not the way to do it.  That is the anomaly to the regular.  

Now, this isn't about protests.  Please answer my question of "Why won't the criminals submit to being arrested?"  It's not that tough to follow directives.  As an educator, you should know full and well how tough it is to do one's job, when your target audience refuses to cooperate..
