9. I see and that somehow makes it effective?

From my perspective it gives Fox and friends the opportunity to point their fingers and say see it is just a bunch of criminals who deserve what they got.

I get the motivation but it doesn't make it right or helpful.

At some point you have to take responsibility at some point you have to look at your elected officials and say WTF. At some point you have to organize and throw the bumbs out. All these riots are doing is reinforcing the idea that more police presence is needed. Completely counter to what in theory they are trying to achieve.

The anger is justified the target of that anger is wildly off the mark.
