No one condones the behavior and to say one was more damaging than the other think of the actions of the police protecting the areas. One they used force and the other just stood there. If they used force in the Wisconsin event I bet it could have been just as ugly. Sadly there was one reason and one only why they didn't.
Some of the 500 National Guard troops deployed earlier in the day by Walz to assist police and the State Patrol — the first deployment for a civil disturbance in 34 years — went to the Third Precinct to try to make it safe for firefighters, but just after midnight, little firefighting was able to take place, with rioters remaining in the area, throwing projectiles and according to one witness, shooting bullets into the building.
