During the case of George Floyd's murder by the US police, many people gather around in the streets across the country to protest the violation of human rights and race by the police. However, some people looted and ransacked the shops during the protest. Some analysts urge the government to handle the looting by force, while others argue that the government should handle it carefully.

George Floyd is a 46-year-old black man who is currently the subject of discussion around the world where he died because of the actions of several

police

officers who arrested him. The arrest was recorded in a video that has become viral everywhere where Chauvin, one of the

police

officers involved, was pressing the George's neck. In the video

also

shows that George repeatedly moaned in pain and claimed difficulty breathing. Soon, when George was no longer moving and whimpering, he was immediately taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Arriving at the Hennepin County Medical Center hospital, George was declared dead.

This

sparked public anger, especially black citizens. They demanded responsibility for the murder case. Anger continues to spread into protest, which hit major cities in the US. Crowds took to the streets to demand

police

brutality and take responsibility for the deaths of black people in their hands. Protests carried out in several states that now lead to riots,

such

as clashes with officers, arson to looting in shops. Because of

this

, some people urge the

government

to handle the looting by force, on the other side; the others argued that the

government

should handle it carefully.

This

essay will be described whether the

government

must handle the looting of the protests with force or careful.

First

, if the

government

uses force in dealing with brutal looting by demonstrators, there are several advantages that dominate enough that field officers can be easily disbanded or appeased, because these looters and rioters are very stubborn.

However

,

this

strategy can lead to severe clashes and provocation between the demonstrators and the officers, and can injure the people around both the demonstrators, looters, and the officers themselves because they certainly use harmful physical violence. Another loss is damage to the public environment which will certainly harm the

government

.

For example

, the actions of

police

and protesters actually reflect each other. When

police

use rubber bullets, lightning bombs, and pepper spray on peaceful protesters, the protesters are

then

also

encouraged to carry out aggression-including, in some cases, inciting fellow protesters to loot.

On the other hand

, it is often argued that the

government

is required to be careful because looters and protesters in these protests are usually not the same person. An expert from the University of Maryland said that it was very rare for peaceful protesters to start randomly stealing and burning. People flock to protest sites with different motivations, and those who want peace tend to remain peaceful.

Therefore

, the

government

must be careful in handling

this

case, if not, more innocent victims will fall. As in the case of a reporter on one of the news platforms who were arrested by officers while on duty to cover the news about the demo and it could be said the officers had violated the rights of the press.

However

,

this

method might be difficult because

this

issue is quite complex. In my opinion, the

government

is better to handle

this

issue carefully because

this

trouble is quite risky. Protesters who looted can be said as a way to regain the dignity of 'blacks' after decades of harassment at the hands of

police

and other authorities.

However

, many irresponsible people take

this

opportunity to create chaos and destruction. If not handled carefully, there will be violence so that people will think bad and make the situation worse. In conclusion, both of these strategies have their advantages and disadvantages. But the

government

must think carefully in handling

this

looting problem even though the way to do it is not easier than imagined. But in that way the bias can be said to be quite feasible when compared to violence.
