Why do we support Katniss but not Baltimore protestors?

Actually, this is pretty much how I’d describe the police as I saw them presented. I mean, they’re over-equipped to the point of being better armed than the military forces of most of the world, fully masked so they have no real individual identity, pointing weaponry designed for front-line combat at civilians who are mostly doing nothing more problematic than standing in the road and being noisy.

I don’t know about you, but they certainly seem to be /trying/ for one-dimensional cartoonish villainy.
