Please respond.

Well, for starters I do have admiration for Dr. Carson. He is an excellent example of someone who has used his brain helped by affirmative action programs to succeed. He was an excellent surgeon. I agree with some of his positions for instance that we should continue affirmative action, get guns out of urban areas, and disagree with him on other issues. My response to what to do in a riot is that I don't know. But my life's work being looted does not justify killing a looter We don't have capital punishment for looting. We don't have capital punishment for breaking windows or stealing clothing. A store window can be replaced, stolen TV's can be replaced. A life cannot be, even a life of someone who made a very wrong decision. So I want the police and the Nat Guard to protect life not stuff. There are as I understand it rules for the use of deadly force and that does not include defending the merchandise in a mini-mart. So which of these people, or perhaps all of them, would you like to have killed now?
And we are nicely back to the original issue of this thread, just shoot the looters to solve the problem.
