I'm just glad the protesters were able to show up and burn down the Wendy's

OTOH, if I were a black man in the U.S., a fight or flight response to being arrested doesn't seem crazy at all.

Yeah....super upset about the Wendy’s
55 years ago today
From MS journalist, Jerry Mitchell
"On this day in 1965, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party organized a one-mile silent march, starting at Morning Star Baptist Church and ending at the Mississippi Capitol, where lawmakers were contemplating changes in voting laws. Jackson police arrested the marchers, more than half of them students from Lanier High School. Over the next few weeks, more than 1,000 were arrested and held in livestock pens at the Mississippi State Fair. During the protest, 5-year-old Anthony Quin waved a U.S. flag outside the Governor’s Mansion. Matt Herron’s photograph of a highway patrolman trying to wrestle the flag from Quin’s hands ran in The New York Times and other newspapers across the U.S. On June 30, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the release of those arrested and barred the City of Jackson from making any further arrests."

All the nuance is removed from the conversation, even though the circumstances around these events are drastically different case to case

Philando Castile was violently resisting arrest.
As was Tamir Rice.
