The police are ONLY attacking the protesters.

They are NOT going after the looters.

Why?

Because the protesters are an easy target.

The incidence of looting is being exaggerated in the media. The real violence is directed against protesters who remain in place after curfew, and they are being shot point blank with rubber slugs and CS gas.
There have been many injuries, some severe. It seems the cops delight in shooting people in the head at close range. They know under the circumstances they can get away with it. Same thought process as a looter.

The cops also target press and medics, and repeatedly have destroyed first aid stations and stolen water intended for hydration and treating gas exposure.

Also on display is a country that can't supply PPE to healthcare workers in a pandemic, but have unlimited money for the latest head to toe tactical gear and military vehicles. American priorities and values are on display. Property over people.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

If only this amount of press was put into the systemic issues with our law enforcement agencies...

From today Politico article.

"Gregory Monahan, acting chief of U.S. Park Police, told lawmakers in July that his officers had abided by the rules in that agreement. "The protocol was followed," he said during sworn testimony before the House Committee on Natural Resources in July. "There were three warnings given and they were given utilizing a Long Range Acoustic Device; it's called an LRAD, that's what it stands for, that was the device used."

DeMarco said in his written answers to the committee that the National Guard "was not in possession" of an LRAD that day."

And who knew Kirsjen had a piece or her soul still intact? " The Times reported that Kirstjen Nielsen, who was the secretary of homeland security at the time, told an aide after the meeting, according to the Times story, "that she would not authorize the use of such a device, and that it should never be brought up again in her presence."
