Endangering people’s lives, brilliant.

To be fair, he was lucky to get away with just a punch. It's brave to try and grab a gun from a cop in riot gear.

I think they're already in danger, that seems to the point.

Pretty sure blocking radio transmissions endangers more people..

Somebody gets their house broken into and stabbed, they try to call the police and the dispatcher can’t get a car to them because of this.

It’s a disgrace. Why are people acting as if all cops are black hating monsters.

If someone gets their house broken into, during a mass riot, the Police won't be going to that house.

I think people are acting in the way they are as there have been a number of high profile deaths of black people by police in America which have been excused and at the point that there a protests, it is met with by force from the police. This has turned into civil disorder and the President suggests it fine for police to shoot looters.

The police don't seem targeted in their approach or attempting to de-escalate. The argument is they're enforcing a climate that protects someone who kills another person purely because they wear a uniform.

er - policing of a major city usually continues (at least at some level) even if there is rioting in other parts of it

Err...yes it does but it is usually at greatly reduced priority.

The priority becomes public order and response to very serious crimes.

Taking your child to a riot?? This is your brain on leftism.

Protection of life, property.
