At what point does brutalizing innocent people become a justified response to injustice?

The answer is at no point.

Any way, from what I recall 350,000 white men died fighting for the Union, in a civil war to end an institution that had existed since the beginning of human culture, and that continued to be practiced all around the world into the 20th century until imperialist powers ended it.

I’m not justifying anything. I’m simply pointing out the absurd false equivalence.

I thought the riots were about the abuse inflicted upon George Floyd. Sorry for not being adequately sensitive. I think you're over-reacting a bit and it shows misplaced priorities.

Ah yes the old "i can only remember 1 event at a time" defense

Your accusation lacks the generosity of a benefit of the doubt.

It could be the fact that George Floyd's death triggered the movement, that his character figured centrally in it, and hashtags of his name were the primary symbol of it.

But instead you take the typical high handed approach of the moral elitist movement.
