The police responded to a few bad actors with indiscriminate force against everybody. That doesn't make things calmer.
I don’t totally disagree, but the police are in a difficult spot. The few nights they didn’t respond innocent people had their businesses looted and burned. When they do respond some innocent people get tear gassed. The best thing is to end these continued nightly protest before someone on one side or the other overreacts and things blow up. The protesters have made their point and gained attention, so let the process play out.
