Police are showing up to peaceful protests with military-grade equipment and riot gear. Studies have shown that this directly contributes to escalating tension at peaceful protests. Overfunded police caused riots and looting. Happy to share those sources if you're interested.

Police show up with this equipment because looting and rioting is happening around the country. Is your TV broke? Police showing up is not causing the looting...opportunistic thugs are.

Sounds like you have the order of events mixed up. Looting and rioting starts AFTER police have already been present and escalated peaceful protests. This article is a good start to learn about how this works https://www.wired.co.uk/article/police-brutality-minneapolis-floyd-blm-trump …

If police showed up to those protests unprotected, they WOULD have been slaughtered. If they did not show up at all, there would be no liberal cities left.
