Rioting and looting is a crime. Not all protestors are criminals. Some protestors are Aholes, some are sincere. None of them are oppressed or they wouldn't be able to protest in the first place. The truth is it's a waste of time. Outside of the civil rights movement, name protests that worked to change anything. You can't. It's the way certain groups vomit their emotions. They seem to feel better after they vomit but leave a big mess after.
