I typically think that police in riot gear are a hammer, and everyone is a nail to them. Easier to comply and voice grievances to a more willing participants.
You put more boots to throats and it will only add fuel to the fire.

@Polar Bear In the same spirit of your post. There’s enough divide and hate in this country to fill up a million forums, and it does.
SS is above that, and the thoughtful discussion we have here I believe matters. Most of us have sacrificed for this nation and want nothing more than to see it prosper. There is so much good that is unseen and deserve our attention and focus.
I might have my option but I can unequivocally say I respect all of yours and take them to heart.
Wrong questions to be asking. A better question would be “What can departments do better to serve the community and prevent these occurrences in the future?”Definitely questions need answered.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive and should be worked in parallel. However, the former is currently more urgent.
Every community is different, there isn't any magic flow chart. You can work for years and finally get a great relationship with the community, then one thing can ruin it...and you have to define what a community is.....many different factions make up a community...it's hard to make everyone happy.
There is no "magic bullet" so to speak....
It doesn't help when social media and the media itself get people into a frenzy....
Because I can guarantee you that the latter will be ignored for the former. What happens when the FBI finds out who coordinated these events? They’re gonna pat themselves on the back and declare “Mission Accomplished”. Nothing will have been learned, and the next time the country experiences mass protests in response to police brutality you’ll have Kerik asking “How much coordination does BLM have with ISIS?”Better question maybe at a local community level where they may be experiencing this, but why disparage the interest in a possible evergreens funding of rioting?
