I'm saying that the ultimate responsibility for this lies with the police, both those who killed George Floyd and the ones who have consistently escalated things throughout the week. It also lies with the justice system, which continually fails to prosecute bad actors, and the economic system that hold people in privation.

Riots and looting aren't good and they do hurt innocent people but if you didn't have shit to say about George Floyd until the riots started, then you basically proved my point.
