Benton Harbor Riots

[PM_Mama00]

This might possibly be for the News thread, but I wanted this to be open for discussion and it's hard to discuss things in there.

I'm not sure if everyone heard the story, but this man was on a motorcycle running from the police, crashed and died. All of a sudden all these riots bust out against the police.

I hate police chases. I think they cause more harm than if they just let the person go. They'll usually get caught somewhere anyways. But I think the people of Benton Harbor, Michigan were SO wrong to destroy their city because they were against the police. Even the family of the victim was pleading with the people to stop the rioting.

Now a Michigan State trooper had pulled someone over in Benton Harbor (I think for speeding, not sure) and they shot the trooper. WTF?

What does everyone think of this? The story can be found at
