I agree with some of your points, but no one has the right to infringe the rights of others. That's not freedom. Peaceful protesters should absolutely be left alone, but not everyone is peacefully protesting. Something has to be done to stop those acting criminally. Lethal force should be the last option, but it shouldn't be completely off the table. People have been killed by some of these groups. Honestly, it should have been stopped on night one before it escalated so far. People are outraged because a black man was killed by a white cop, and rightfully so, but people should also be outraged that innocent people have been killed by people hiding under the guise of protesting. It has to stop. I don't want a bloodbath, but it has to stop.

Not sure I see a bloodbath being very avoidable once you start shooting

They want blood. They want murder in the streets in the guise of "protecting order."

Not everyone wants blood, but everyone should want order. If it takes some blood to restore order, it is what it is, as long as it's not needless blood shed. Proportional force. I don't want cops shooting willy nilly, but if they need to put someone down that is threatening their life or the life of another, I'm not going to condemn that action. There is a reasonable middle ground here that many seem to be avoiding.

Lethal force is a last resort if life is in danger. Non-lethal rounds are available, and I see nothing wrong with using them on those engaged in criminal activity.

I think shooting "only a few people" in crowds of that size is going to get ugly fast

It's like you're not reading a thing I've said. Do you believe this activity should be allowed to continue unchecked? I've mentioned non-lethal ordinance multiple times. I'm not advocating for needless killing. But this has to stop.

Watching these streams on Twitch, absolute ****tards in RI set fire to a shoe store with apartments above it. That will solve police brutality.

My experience with autopsies is that they can’t determine when the drugs were ingested. It’s not scientifically possible to determine that with any degree of certainty.

It’s possible that’s not true. Our city’s medical examiner is a quack.

Drug levels and timing of events. He must be a quack if you have no faith in his work.

The poster is not reading what you've said. They've already decided on their answer.
