...you would arrange for a bunch of riots to break out by people destroying property and protesting the police. In the middle of a pandemic. In response to a case that the authorities actually seemed to be handling well, with action being taken against the guilty parties.
My country is going crazy--first the anti-lockdown protests, now these new riots. Maybe folks have just been shut up at home for so long that they are looking for something to do.
Not only my country, though. Apparently there were also protests in London and Berlin, in solidarity with the American protestors. As if they don't have enough to worry about in their own countries right now? (It shows, though, that even at our current nadir, America still has an outsized profile in the world. Can you even imagine Americans protesting an instance of police brutality in some mid-sized British or German city?)
Strange times.
