12. It's probably not the protestors

We don't know for sure who is doing the burning and looting, and there are theories as to who it may be.

But the protesters certainly do NOT benefit from it, so it's probably not them. However, it does make them look bad. So it may be opportunistic assholes looting because of the chaos, and other types of assholes who may enjoy destroying property and using this as a convenient excuse. Or it can be someone who wants to discredit the protesters and take attention away from the verdict and justice system and policies. It might even be the boys in blue for all we know.
