12. There were many wrongs

Police opening fire during a charged time lit the wick. The community reacting in a way that offered some an opportunity for destruction. The political leaders and antagonists who either did little to stop it or fanned the emotions of both sides. All the way to the pleas for protection from armed "militias", once the police were deemed ineffective or incendiary.

Media, both social and traditional, were no help either. A video is a strong piece of evidence and only one of many which must be taken into account before one can determine truth.

Emotion rules reason and is much easier to manipulate. Be cautious, when information activates emotions, it may be propaganda and meant to inflame rather than inform.
