Such wanton killings are very rare if you consider the land area of the US is 3.7 million square miles.

It is a sorry situation.
The drug gangs are dealing on the corners for their money. The residents rarely call.
If the residents call then the cops rarely show up anymore because they have to worry about their jobs if they arrest criminals.
If the arrests are made then they get slapped on the wrist and are thrown out the back doors so that ICE cannot pick them up.
I don't know about this family specifically, but they probably voted for the DA and the mayor. They probably also did nothing when they saw these same gang bangers hanging around their neighborhood.
Police unions exist to make a bundle of money for the unions and to protect the lazy, incompetent, corrupt, and/or brutal police officers.
Ever wonder why unions use the same vocabulary as other organized crime? Snitches, finks, rats, stoolies, brothers, family, and omerta, the code of silence.

I'm curious. What, specifically, would you protest? The killer has been arrested. The murder was horrible, my condolences go to the family, but what is there to protest.
The system is far from perfect and we can make some minor adjustments to improve it but abolishing police and going with vigilantes isn't the answer. Thinking unarmed social workers can or should handle domestic violence calls shows a level of stupidity that's astounding. Less than two weeks ago two police officers were shot on a routine traffic stop and some want unarmed traffic police to make traffic stops.
The sad fact is that both sides are wrong and intolerant.
I'm not sure justice exists but what most seem to want is for their team to win and the other team, or teams, to lose.
It is my opinion that our flawed system can be improved but allowing a few hundred thugs backed by leftist politicians who allow them to riot, loot, burn, and kill is not a way to set public policy.
When the backlash comes to the rioting, looting, burning, and killing it will be significant.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
