In response to injustice, people protest. In response to protest, the police escalate. Anger is the only response.

@wycats that it no way justifies a mob or gangs tearing apart Baltimore. -
@mdance86 It's not about justification. When power is abused, anger bubbles over. See the Arab Spring. -
@wycats woulda-coulda-shoulda. Violence with large gangs is no way to get your point across. Legitimate or not. -
@mdance86 You can blame the powerless or you can recognize the power dynamics. Abuses of power are easy to spot. -
@wycats so by all means burn down buildings and hurt innocent people. Makes sense. -
@mdance86 I don't see the benefit of blaming powerless people when abuses of power are rampant. It's a natural consequence. -
@wycats Police abused power. But the gangs are not powerless. They have choices like everyone else. It doesn't have to be "natural"
