The focus and message of a peaceful protest loses all meaning when violence begins. What purpose does it serve in burning, defacing, and looting buildings/businesses? How does this type of violence encourage people to listen with open hearts and minds to this societal issue? We need open dialogue and solutions to solve this problem together. Violence, in any form, hasn't helped us get where we should be already, and it won't help us get to where we need to be.
