    The protests started because the police murdered a man in full view of a group of witnesses, a lot of people had a vested interest in making sure that didn’t happen again, in a way that non violent protest would not have achieved.

      Quite the opposite. A non-violent protest would have achieved much more. The rioters and looters only obstructed the cause.
