Protests to Riots - a podcast by BillyBon3s

On May 25, 2020, a police officer killed a man named George Floyd by kneeling on his neck. Outrage has quickly formed, sparking protests around the country. Some of these protests have turned to rioting and looting. People blame the police for starting the voilence, and others blame the protesters. Who's right in all of this? Are there bad actors on either side?
