Not everyone in the mob was out for blood, but the mob as a collective group was. The mob killed a police officer. Anyone who was part of the mob is partly to blame for that.
No one can take part in a group action and then claim they're not responsible for what the group has done. When people act as a group they have to accept responsibility for the group's actions.

no, he was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. you might be thinking of the other cop who died, the one who committed suicide afterwards. but that was probably not a pre-existing condition either. more likely it was PTSD caused by the event. and there certainly haven't been any reports indicating any pre-existing condition for him.
actually, you're probably thinking of the four rioters who died. all of their deaths were linked to pre-existing medical conditions. but you were replying to remarks about the police officer who was bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher. being bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher is not a pre-existing condition.
The way you wrote that makes it sound like you got that from a "non-mainstream" news organization. How do you know it's true?
(Pretty sure 100% in that sentence means “certainly.”)
r/DataHoarder archives a lot of data about this riot.
I think I'm helping seed at least one torrent from them. Which part should I be looking at for the staggering mountain of evidence that this isn't a pretty normal US protest?

A mob is a singular. When you think with your brain is every single neuron involved?
100%? Literally all of them? Every one?
I'm not looking for a metaphorical response here. Which parts of your response are backed actual evidence and which parts are assumptions based on your instincts and filling in blanks?
