Riots would only make sense for a not guilty verdict. They pushed the riots to scare whites into supporting ((their)) agenda. If a not guilty verdict is read then patriots will be embolden to act like Kyle and stand up, at least a little bit. Having their operatives and useful low in idiots gunned down in the streets is not a good look for them now. They want to keep the pressure on and continue the narrative that resistance is futile. I think they push a distraction and go back to covid and more lockdowns. That seems to make the most sense to me right now. But I’m just speculating here
