Is it okay to abuse "white folks"? And what about the folks living in states with Democrat governors strutting around like mini-dictators?

It’s not okay for police to abuse anyone, but abuse of whites does not generally lead to riots specifically.

Why not? MLK’s quote here offers a hint.

I believe it’s because whites are generally not as likely as blacks to be confronted with the same levels daily abuse, racism, and economic deprivation.

That’s the background, the tinder that the match of police brutality ignites.

As a matter of fact, people of all races have participated in the demonstrations that you might call protests or riots.

Just one photo out of I’m sure thousands that have been taken.

Blacks have the greatest justification for doing so, but honestly everyone’s upset about George Floyd’s death, or should be.

But does an unjust death justify looting and destroying innocent people's businesses and welfare?

Again I’d defer to MLK’s statement on the subject. Here’s a fuller excerpt.

If you'll notice, he's not trying to condone the riots. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in peaceful Civil disobedience; a riot is a disgrace to what he stood for
