These protests, are necessary I believe because I think that it wasn't on accident that all these police officers keep shooting blacks. I think that everyone in America should be viewed with the same amount of respect, and a police officer's first instinct shouldn't be to shoot or cause harm to a person just because they look suspicious. But these protests are going far beyond the point. With the destroying of buildings and damaging cars, I think that there is a better way to get the point across. In regards to what Adam Jones commentated on this problem, this is Baltimore. You live here and at the end of the day, the protests aren't worthless but they're getting out of hand. The looting of stores is far too selfish and beyond the point. The protests should be peaceful and get the point across without being detrimental to the safety of others, because Baltimore in the end is and should be a good place to live.
