They want the riots. It'll be good for Democrat poll numbers. Otherwise, there's no way they would try to make a poster child out of a thug like that. It's telling, too, that this is what passes for a poster child. This guy is no different than Mike Brown. Actually, he's a lot worse than Mike Brown. Mike Brown never rammed a police car or brandished a rifle. That a scumbag like this is being used as a symbol of "police brutality" is definitive evidence that police brutality, as "the community" understands it, does not, in fact, exist. If it did, they would be able to find a truly innocent victim and not have to resort to using such questionable characters to hold up as victims.
