That’s not true. Only a few do. For the sake of discussion though let’s just limit our discussion to modern industrialized nations that are liberal democracies in one form or the other.
The same would still apply in that they have lower crime rates, lower incarceration rates, fewer persons in prison, fewer prisons AND fewer or no executions of criminals. What are they doing right that we are not?

There is no equivalence to anarchy and liberty and freedom
The Constitution provides equal justice for all. If a rogue policeman violates that equal justice, there is a remedy...the law.
Condoning anarchy where there is a legal remedy is not revolunary, it’s condoning anarchy.

Sorry but I disagree. Protesting injustice is one thing destroying private property and looting is and entirely different matter. And is in fact it is against federal law.
I cannot recall one act of private party destruction in the 1770s.
21st Century "liberals" = 18th Century privateers.

Interesting memory you have there, old eagle.
"The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor. The event was the first major act of defiance to British rule over the colonists. It showed Great Britain that Americans wouldn’t take taxation and tyranny sitting down, and rallied American patriots across the 13 colonies to fight for independence."

Althea referenced Kaepernick not being black. I've never heard that before. He was raised by a white family but his (biological) dad was black. Not sure how that makes him not black.
And voting is important. But I do get the position that the mistreatment by cops has been going on for decades in Republican and Democratic areas and under Republican and Democratic administrations and nothing changes. And thus voting has done little in that regard.
I expected you to pick up on that and here ( as Paul Harvey would say ) is the rest of the story. Was the tea private property? Sorry but it wasn't the Crown ie government had control over the British East India Company so my dear it was not private property. Need any other history lessons just ask. LOL

Actually it was indeed a private company. Sorry.
"By 1803, at the height of its rule in India, the East India company had a private army of about 260,000—twice the size of the British Army, with Indian revenues of £13,464,561 (equivalent to £229.9 million in 2019) and expenses of £14,017,473 (equivalent to £239.3 million in 2019).[14][15] The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its private armies, exercising military power and seizing administrative functions.[16] Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 and lasted until 1858, when, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj." (wikipedia)
"THINK GOOGLE OR Apple are powerful? Then you’ve never heard of the East India Company, a profit-making enterprise so mighty, it once ruled nearly all of the Indian subcontinent. Between 1600 and 1874, it built the most powerful corporation the world had ever known, complete with its own army, its own territory, and a near-total hold on trade of a product now seen as quintessentially British: Tea."
