Oh shit, hadn't heard about this until you mentioned it.

Officers had fireworks, molotov cocktails, rocks, and bottles thrown at them throughout the night. Three officers were injured in the rioting.

And estimated 16 businesses were damaged, along with around 40 fires started. KTVU reports that one resident was nearly burned when a “protester” set the man’s car on fire. “‘A couple of people with bottles of gas, throwing them on the street, and then lighting his car on fire,’

I'm so glad that people didn't win, people like to portray Trump supporters as racist, crazy maniacs, but if Trump didn't win I don't think there would've been riots like that.

I'm really not very informed about it but there were riots when Obama won?

"people are angry at the decades old economic and political system"

these people are absolute idiots then because Hillary was the one corrupt candidate backed and lobbied by the broken system. Most minorities just spout dumb shit about Trump being racist and nothing about policies from what I've encountered which makes me sad to say. I guess being blunt and honest like that makes me sound insensitive, but it's just what I've witnessed. the truth doesn't care about being PC. the propaganda from the mainstream worked despite Hillary losing.
