Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in favor of rioting, but it does appear the police are overreacting.

A rebuttal.
Someone’s in blue, but it isn’t the cops. That guy has his hands up and they’re aiming their assault rifles at him.
I’ve seen pics of that truck with a machine gun on top (not assault rifle, but what looked like a SAW, or Squad Automatic Weapon).
So an armored car and assault troops. That’s not cops, that’s the military. They can argue over who’s paying their salaries, but that’s pretty damn posse incomitatus.
