The news would be bombarding us with it, and you know that.
There wouldn’t be protests because there wouldn’t be a systemic issue of ignoring justice when things like that happen. Cops get hurt, their brothers and sisters hunt down the perp and beat the #^&#^&#^&#^& out of them before they get to a DA.
Saying that protests of racial killings leads to riots is diluting the fact that there is a problem in this country with the balance of justice. I don’t know if you’re combining the two intentionally or not, but it’s important that you know the impact of the way you choose to make your point. Whether you choose to recognize that and adjust how you simultanously recognize the obvious imbalance that justifies protests and systematic change AND express your justified outrage at the riots is entirely up to you.
But by conflating the two you ignore the existence of the underlying problem and become part of it.
