So now, people who oppose the looting and destruction of property are “vile racist scum?” “Fock” you![/quote]

Yes, “fock” you for caring more about a TV than a man’s life.

This is an insane and asininely false comparison. It's not a TRADE. No one is caring MORE about a TV *than* a man's life. They are caring THAT stealing TVs and destroying stores is WRONG. Plus, it won't bring him back.

The man's murder was WRONG. But ALSO...looting is wrong. And completed unrelated, btw. Has no impact at all on the police officers who did this. Will not change what happened but WILL hurt the community of people who are negatively impacted by the theft and destruction. No one is going to change their behavior *because of* the rioting. And tbh, no one changed their behavior due to the man's death either. People who loot were already prone to steal and looting before this. No one who wasn't already in a position to consider looting and stealing as an acceptable behavior in life suddenly decided to become a looter and thief as a result of this death. Just doesn't work that way.

So yes, anyone looting and stealing should be arrested and charged for that. You don't get a pass for committing crimes simply because a separate unjustifiable crime was committed that made you angry. Even if a man murders my own family member, I don't get to go out and rob a bank and get away with it. And if I do, can I claim that anyone who wants to charge me with the bank robbery cares more about the bank's money than my family that got murdered?? That's nuts!
