Because in a democratic setting rioting only makes you look bad and causes you to get less votes and less chance of anything being done about it.


Less votes? Is there a Riot Party I don't know about? What's the name of the candidate they're running?

American police departments are in need of reform and improvement. But the last thing we need is mob rule.

You can't. The anti sjw npc programming is so strong they don't care how many die. They will still support there views from there echo chamber no matter what.

Look at covid-19. They support Trump despite under his watch 100,446 people that died under his watch.

We can avoid mob rule if the government works for the people.

No one is calling for mob rule. Reform is needed. That is beyond dispute.

The police and national guard gunning people down and using a disease as an excuse is not the way to go

The dems want police reform right? That will be harder for them to do if people who want police reform go around setting stuff on fire.

The people who dont want reform will point at the rioters as reasons not to make the changes.

They were doing something. The simple truth is that investigations involving police are tricky, and the prosecutors wanted to make sure that not only did they have every potential angle covered, but also that whatever they charged him with would be something that would stick.

Moving too quickly on this sort of case is a great way to have it fall apart for numerous reasons, and anybody who wants a conviction to stick needs to make sure they have all relevant evidence at hand.

True but the evidence is kinda overwhelming.

So it does look like he killed a guy but it is all allegations until the trial is over.

I doubt the dems really want police reform. One of their former candidates this year was a crooked cop, and in Detroit, a Democrat run city, police brutality is endemic. Im sure progressive democrats like bernie sanders want police reform, but alot of your mainstream dems really just call out abuse in name only and aren't actually doing anything to stop it. They don't really care.

American police departments are in need of reform and improvement. But the last thing we need is mob rule.

I think some would argue that mob rule is the current status quo. We just gave that mob badges and shielded them from consequences.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
