My first thought was also that this would never happen here, but that's because we have a SWAT teams that rivel no other and I don't think there's ever been a President in history that would or will hestitate to call in the National Guard.
People have a right to non-violently protest. But, when "protest" becomes simply a reason to get yourself a new TV and computer, and people are dying it has gone too far.
