It is, and it's why rioting can't be tolerated.
I don't know anyone who said "go in shooting and kill everyone". You seem to have this notion that if it's not a well placed nuke, the military can't do it. We have all kinds of riot suppression that is used in other countries that we aren't using here because democrat leaders in these cities are, like you, sympathetic to the cause.
They aren't paying any attention to the thousands of lives these animals are screwing with, and in some cases, taking. Yes, harsh measures need to be taken, and I'm not above deadly force in stopping it. This can't be tolerated in a free country, and the first consideration of any competent leader is the protection of the innocent people under their regime.
These rioters are going to go home, those who were captured will sit for a few days and be released. But the people who were attacked and whose businesses were burned will have to take years to recover. Many of the business owners in Ferguson never got back on their feet again.
