A Badge is not a license to kill, maim, or otherwise harass citizens.

I was born in Rochester NY.  It's the 3rd largest city in New York, and parts of it are as gritty and forbidding as some of the streets of New York City.  It used to be a thriving city, with Xerox and Kodak as major employers.  Kodak's photo business has collapsed, and Xerox has been downsizing for years.  I don't have many ties to Rochester anymore, but an item popped up that I had to share. A white police officer shot a black man : "Silvon Simmons was shot three times in an upstate New York city. Then he was accused of trying to kill the cop who fired at him. His story is a study in the kinds of police practices that have sparked protests across America – and it shows the enormous challenge cities face when trying to enact change."

Protests are legitimate citizen efforts to change policy through non-violent means.  The right to protest is included in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Riots are mayhem created by anarchists who seek change by burning down the institutions of government.  These riots are NOT protected by the Constitution, but are prohibited by applicable criminal laws.  Arson is a criminal offense, as is assault.  Those engaging in such acts should expect to suffer the full weight of criminal law. I support protests.   I do NOT support riots and all the associated damages...
