Yes, if my house or business was being burned down then I'd be fucking furious and maybe irrationally raging. That's justified. But what's not justified is people who are not under direct threat giving carte-blanch to a fundamentally corrupt state and police force just because they are afraid. Believe me, if you hand this cocksucking government any more power they'll take it and twice as much more.
