As long as it's a mostly peaceful prostest, you're also allowed to set a few cars on fire and loot local businesses.

As long as you say "I feared for my life", you're apparently also allowed to shoot random civilians if you're a cop.

Which is kinda why people are upset enough to set shit on fire.

When I put the two sides on the scale - the things being protested and the damage done by protesters - typically it's very easy for me to write off a couple burned cars or broken windows, even if I'm not a fan of broken windows or burned cars. Because typically these protests in the US are over things like reckless killings.
