The weirdest thing here is the incredible lenience of the police forces in dealing with riots all over the western world. It was on display during the London riots too, and is regularly on display in Germany, Sweden and many other countries. The swarms of crazed looters just rampage everywhere and take whatever they want, and the police is not allowed to touch them. No one is responsible. No one is punished. It's like the cultural and legal subversion in the western world over the last 80 years has completely crippled the capacity to stop these things.
These day, riots are treated as if they were earthquakes - unavoidable natural disasters with no one to blame.
Its not weird if they were ordered to stand down for the sake of advancing the power of who commands them ultimately.
If the police forces really wanted they could have shut that down. But the powers that be consider said damage acceptable in taking down their enemies and gaining more power.
Or that the loss of such is irrelevant in regards to its grip on power.
Therefore rioters and the coincidentally released criminals are shock troops or actually Feds themselves for the sake of coercing the natives. Just like how Criminals are used in the Gulag system against Political Prisoners
For example so far the pawnshop owner who attempted to act like a "Rooftop Korean" got arrested for "Murder":
The owner of Cadillac Pawn & Jewelry shot and killed a suspected looter, according to a Minneapolis Star-Tribune reporter.

If self-defense is at the same time prosecuted. Then one must assume evil on the part of those who are letting this happen.
Is it a coincidence that Cops let their own Precincts burn down but guard CNN and other News Stations?
