Just out of curiosity, does anyone here consider looting stores a legitimate form of protest?
In a war situation, looters are shot dead.
I don't think it would be out of line for police to shoot these looters. At least injuring them so they can't run away, and can be arrested. Tasering them at least. Let them feel some deterrant pain for their criminal (as opposed to legitimate political) actions.
The softness demonstrated so far to violent and looting protestors just encourages them to come back and do it again every night.
And I separate the thugs from the people who are peacefully protesting, and just want an above-board and publicly visible investigation of what happened.
