Does that mean they plan to riot until a trial is over? Does that mean they don't want a trial and they want the officer killed without a fair trial? Believe me, I'm in no way trying to be argumentative or punchy. Just asking what that means to you and what your opinion is on the matter? 

Good questions, Harley.

If you are referring to a sign held by a protestor, your guess is probably as good as mine.

And here's mine: the signs express the thoughts of angry young people, who think they need to ratchet up the level of civil disobedience/disorder to get authorities to act. Hard to get more specific than that. I'm sure a trial and punishment for the police officers involved would be part of the "justice," but I doubt that is all.  They likely want to see the problem of police violence addressed as a systemic problem.  That means some announced and monitored changes in policy, police training and the like.

They have already had some success, in that now the officers involved have been arrested.
