Recently, riots have started to occur more and more within the U.S. on race related issues. What do you believe should be done about these riots?

The answer to the riots is to arrest and prosecute those who riot.
There is no excuse for the lawlessness nor the soft-handed approach to it. While I understand people's feelings about perceived injustice (which is largely spurred by the media, without regard to the facts), there is no excuse for criminal conduct. Peaceful protests are one thing. Riots, looting, assaults, etc. are quite another.

What ever happened to "beat Cops?" When I was a kid, we knew the names of the officers that patrolled any part of town that we frequented. These officers knew the names, the situations, and relationships of those of their community. Beyond policing, they were a relationship between the law and its citizens. They also were a valuable source of intelligence for the police department. It's not the sole answer to prevention of stupidity. But, it might be a start. There has to be mutual interest in protecting a community.

What is the message and cause. Why do riots occur when their sports team wins the championship?

Championship + Alcohol + Stupidity = Riots (But, I think "Stupidity" might be common ingredient in ALL CONUS-based riots)

It does look like young people are doing most of the rioting and conducting violence.
