Violence coming from the more powerful is almost always more dangerous.
This is not to argue that one side is more right or justified than the other. They could both be wrong and dangerous.
I do believe that it is the responsibility of elected officials to keep the streets safe for their citizens, that violence or threats of violence cannot be tolerated. People should not fear anarchists or the police. There is no freedom if there is fear.
We have heard all the arguments. No justice, no peace. They can all be rationalized.
However, we should all understand that the answer is not to send in military-style Federal agents to quell the violence and unrest. There are procedures than can be followed and the WH is not following them. Unfortunately, neither are the elected officials.
