Those people have no power to influence legislatures. The only time anyone gives a shit what they have to say is when they riot. That's why they rioted in the first place, because many people strongly disagree with the reforms they were pushing for, and so nothing was being done to help them. Obviously in a riot, the message gets distilled down to its most extreme and simplistic form. That's just inevitable.

Also:

"be careful what you ask for...."

This made me cringe so hard lol. The world hasn't gone into permanent chaos and lawlessness. The blacks are angry but they want reform. It's not true that all they do is scream all day and won't agree to have meetings about how to fix things. But they are NEVER going to get reform because the cops are way more powerful politically than they are. The cops are angry too, and they're having their own insane rallies and making their own crazy speeches.
