@mekkaokereke What most people want is peace and security and to get on with their lives. If they see riots and stuff on fire, they will vote for more cops and hardline DAs and a general crackdown.

This whole cycle happened in the 1970s and 80s. Anyone remember the Willie Horton ad? The crack wars and resulting extreme sentences for crack? If history really does rhyme, the backlash is just getting started.
