What should police do to stop looting? Loot looters' homes to stay at equal level of violence?

The police should not, if possible, kill people to stop them from looting, even if they are destroying property. This is fundamental to civilization.

  • But it's not fundamental to keep up public order?

    What if my house is looted? If looter doesn't leave when asked nicely, should I just wait for him to take what he wants?

    • It is also fundamental to keep up public order. That's not even close to being mutually exclusive to my statement. Nor is the obvious answer to your second question. You're engaging in hostile, bad-faith argument.
