Looting does have to do with an increased police presence or with giving police an excuse to further increase their presence - so don’t say it has nothing to do with the story. Also, I think the store owners whose places were looted (even though they had nothing to do with the shooting) wouldn’t be happy with your interpretation of the situation.
EDIT: Because I want to make this really clear for you. I provide information - and I do my best to be neutral about it. Here’s another thread where I stepped in because pertinent information hadn’t been included in the post. My comment begins:
People do realize that other police showed up on the scene because 9-1-1 was called on the officer, right?
In that instance, the other police were there because a woman was being beaten by a cop. I also explained that the incident took place in area where he had no valid reason to stop her, and it was a block away from the jail.
I’m guessing you wouldn’t have been giving me a hard time then.
