The methods that are used right now are KNOWN to do not work.

When there is a protest, having the police to show up in large numbers riot gear is just going to escalate the tensions and increase the chances of violence.

(I am not saying that there is no need for riot gear .. if anything the boogaloos could use some violence applied to them)

US Police should have a lot more incentive to do not resort to violence for every situation. As well as ending qualified immunity and not having cops investigate cops when there is abuse.

to do not work if the objective is to avoid violence and riots. Sadly it seems that this is not the objective of many police departments
