Like it or hate it the following is only my opinion:
It is sad that a man died while being arrested. It is murder that a police officer could have controlled the outcome. It is criminal that people are pillaging and looting in the streets. It is unforgivable that politics have entered into this sensitive topic
in an attempt to turn it into a powder keg. The left has used this
tactic for years. ( Do your research ). The media will be splashing
every T.V. set until November with Blacks being victimized only
by whites while minimal reporting on white on white crime, minimal
reporting on black on white crime, black on black, brown on black,
yellow on black,black on yellow, yellow on white,white on yellow,
yellow on brown or brown or yellow. Anything to get that orange
haired white man out of office.
Question everything you see,read or told.
Seek out the truth for yourself rather than wait to hear it from others.............
Spot on with everything.
The media disgustingly plays huge part in drumming up racial tensions and hostility, which made the attacks on the CNN Center in Atlanta somewhat ironically poetic.
No rights have ever been gained without violence. Think Newark/Irvington, Louisville, Charlootesville, Harlem during the blackout, Watts, Stonewall, Los Angeles (Rodney king murder), Oakland, Baltimore, Boston Tea Party, American, French and Russian revolutions. The list is endless.
Without somebody videotaping this rabid cop and his 3 complicit friends, he'd have gotten away without even a slap on his wrist. As it is he will not do a minute of jail time for premeditated murder. The four of them should face jail sentences, one for life.
The iPhone is the greatest invention. The iPhone is more powerful than a gun. IPhone has recorded these incidents.

Ghandi stood down the British Empire, no violence.
MLK got rid of Jim Crow, no violence.
Mandela offered reconciliation to his nation, and got elected president.
Solidarity stood down the Soviet Empire, no violence.
Now...for all the riots that have happened, what has changed? The French Revolution was objectively a failure, since it ended in autocracy (Napoleon) and then reversion to Monarchy. Had the the House of Bourbon (1815 to 1848) been willing to adopt British-style reform France could very well be a constitutional monarchy today even after "all that".
I do agree with the last paragraph though, it is good more things are videotaped.
