"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Hello cawacko,
Precisely.
The concerned community is out there in the daylight, carrying BLM signs, marching in an orderly group.
The ne'er do wells are drawn to the occasion, bringing a different agenda.
The grieving mothers and families are not out there after dark destroying their own community.
Any political view which believes they are is only using that as a basis to augment a pre-determined position.

Looking back at this and how the week went, wouldn't it have made sense to impose a strict curfew in that region?
The daytime protests were one thing, as long as that was peaceful, but that's not when all the looting and destruction occurred.

Members of the same community can both be grieving families and the ones destroying it. So you can't rule that out. But protests bring people in from the surrounding area as well so those doing damage may not live far away but don't necessarily live around the current violence.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
