As far as videos being selective: there’s a hell of a lot of that going around
What you are not seeing is what led up to the incident. Fact is the video was probably edited to make the cops look like the bad guysAnd that's why I clarified that this was in reference only to this video. From what I'm seeing on the video, the aggressor here is the police officer. I am willing to accept that there is quite the possibility that the "protesters" seen in this video have been "rioters" in other instances (possibly directly prior to this incident). But from the information given, I think the flying tackle shown in this video comes off as showing the masses that the police are, in fact, violent. And yes, the video definitely could have been edited to show only the part where the protesters are not currently being rioters. I'm not disagreeing with that possibility. I'm just commenting on the information given.
So, let me get this right. The best way to answer a protest about police violence is to come in to a crowd of people that are not (at least on this video) being violent and be violent to them? Makes a lot of sense to me.
Gee, I wonder why there are protests against police violence going on.

That was probably because protesting after dark would've been insanely dangerous. I don't know about looting, but there was quite a bit of burning, just not by the protesters.I can’t recall ever seeing MLK or any others of that era protesting after dark. I don’t recall looting nor burning either.
