I think he found one of their helmets and was trying to return it

I'm beyond disgusted at this point. I don't think I've felt this feeling before. I'm past my tipping point. I also saw a photo of LA police right after they shot a homeless man in a wheelchair in the face with a rubber bullet. Here's the photo...

Some interesting polls
64% of Americans sympathize with the protests in general https://news.trust.org/item/20200602213748-a24t2/ 54% say burning down police station was justified https://www.newsweek.com/54-american...floyds-1508452 58% support using the military to assist police https://www.forbes.com/sites/nichola...ts-poll-finds/ So a majority supports the protests and even some level of selective violence but also wants a military crackdown |

The masses can do it. The military can do it. Trump can do it. It can be a civil war or endless disorder or a race war or an economic collapse or a pandemic. Poll wording matters a lot but there’s a certain amount of people with an unaccounted for nihilism. Anyone who’s ready to blow their own brains out, for example, probably doesn’t love his environment either.

The bulk of people from all of those polls are in the camp of "somewhat" supporting or opposing x because Americans are a bunch of marble-mouthed centrists.

My experience with that demographic is that they're pretty ready to tell you about it.

I guess but wouldn't that leave some group of centrists who "somewhat" support martial law while also thinking the police station arson was at least "partially" justified? That doesn't seem reasonable at all unless the polls are just inaccurate. In any case the results are somewhat surprising.
