What do you think about politicians ordering police not to suppress riots, as in Baltimore and Ferguson?

I think it only increases suffering, and I think those politicians should be vulnerable to lawsuits from the people whose businesses and other properties are destroyed.

It seems rediculous but the past has taught us that fighting them spreds the violence. Its like water on a grease fire. Its much more productive to use passive control. No body wants the violence.

No, the past has taught us that you must suppress the riot when the first rock flies. THAT is what keeps the violence from spreading.
