Deadly force can be lawfully met with deadly force. Self-defense is firmly enshrined in our legal system regardless of whether you agree with it.

Given the political climate, I doubt either side trusts the "authorities" to be objective and nonpartisan.
that’s true, but look at the alternative. Horrible violence and looting in Minneapolis last night and Chicago last week or the week before, both based on false information promoted on social media. We here can’t fix that, but we can at least be the change we want to see in the world and not rely on 30 seconds of vertical video to be the arbiter of what we believe.
Going forward one will have to form his opinion from a wide variety of sources to the best of his ability, from twitch streams to mass media. There are no authorities anymore.

But I doubt the vast majority of the rabble is capable of sifting through the sea of info, though.

In the end this will come down to power.

I mean, I don't think anyone is for police brutality. The argument is over what constitutes police brutality i think. Unless I missed some post.
