The problem is certain cops doing terrible stuff and not being punished for it. Choking detained citizens to death. Shooting citizens trying to follow conflicting orders and not doing it quickly enough. And they continue to unnecessarily escalate in these protests now and further prove that they need independent oversight.
Yeah, the rioters and looters need to be dealt with appropriately, but shooting peaceful protesters in the face point blank with smoke canisters and in the head with rubber bullets is not the way to handle what is going on. It's going to lead to escalation, and people are going to start bringing weapons themselves. Then shit is going to get out of hand and a lot of people are going to be hospitalized or dead.
