I think there are those who believe that "due process" and a fair "judge and jury" do not exist for them. Hence there is the desire to find justice through another route since the current one is broken from their perspective.
Yup attacking random bystanders, buildings, officers and setting cars on fire is a great way for everyone to enjoy justice.
Of course it's not!!! It's possible to believe that both voilent protesting is wrong, and also that there is a problem with how Jacob Blake was policed!! Mr. Blake's mom even holds that position. To believe that justice should be served on one hand does not mean that you believe violent protests are ok.

I think you gotta seperate the players' response from the violent protests. They're aren't the same thing.
