Can the Baltimore riots be justified ?

I chose to critique Jacob Ybarra ' blog called  donkeys andelephants because I share a similar view. In his blog, Jacob has an interesting standpoint on the Baltimore riots.
He gives the outline of the event and then mentions his opinion by giving examples that is similar to the Baltimore riots.


I agree with his opinion. In the 14th amendment, it says that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
All people must be treated equally by the law. I really understand their wrath about processes and mistake of police.
It is about the question that " Is violence ever justified? I say "No".
Despite their anger is sympathetic, it is a well-known but often forgotten fact that violence can never be justified in any way.
