Almost every disenfranchised group throughout history that has rioted has done so in their own environment. Nothing new there.
It takes power in the form of audacity and fearlessness to ruin others' environments.
I don't want any more rioting. Been there, done that. I want people to take that anger and energy into lasting and legal social changes. I consider it silly to plan and look forward to a riot.
As for the officer resigning, I think that's wise. He will never be able to overcome this even if this Black man died in a legal yet unfortunate manner. This officer and fellow officers will struggle even more from this point on. Resigning can reduce some of that struggle.
