    By not brutalizing the protestors? What do you mean? I don’t have to have the correct answer to tell you that brutalizing people is the wrong answer?

      Can you elaborate on what you mean by “brutalizing the protestors?” Is there any country on Earth where riots are left alone?

          You can condemn every government if you want. You’re not actually getting anything accomplished by doing so, though, in condemning everything you’re left alone. By your response, you would have let the riots persist, I imagine? Even if people were hurt by the rioters?

              Counter-protestors. There was violent conflict between the rioters and the pro-government counter-protestors, which meant putting an end to the riots to begin with was the correct move to limit the damages and injuries.

                It seems the violence described in the article is at least partially in response to a cop shooting a teenager? Got something else?

                    This is certainly an example of abhorrently violent behavior that I will assume is unjustified (I didn’t want to watch the video, I’m not desensitized to this stuff). And to clarify, this is supposed to justify ramping up violent response to protesters? Instead of searching for and arresting perpetrators who were caught on film?
