Contra the President, who said “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”:
No. Crimes against property should be met with arrest, not lethal force. The race and gender of the perpetrator has nothing to do with it.
It’s why we have seen riot police tossing tear gas canisters and other non-lethal crowd dispersal methods but you haven’t seen police departments engage in much “shooting” at all around the country, if any.
If they did, we’d have another Tiananmen Square right here in America, basically.
Hope this helps.
