I agree with the Villas spouter who said use of force is not the way to deal with protesters. However, the use of whatever force necessary to stop rioting and looting is appropriate. Unfortunately, too many otherwise intelligent people can't or won't accept that there is a difference. The spouter also says that we live in a different era with less respect for authority. Are we supposed to accept that, or as a society should we not be working desperately to correct that problem instead? Teaching responsibility, accountability, morality and respect should never go out of style.
