Literally the first job of government is to protect the investments of its citizens and create a stable environment for market interactions. If your property was destroyed in these riots, you should be able to sue the government for your taxes back. They failed to hold up their end of the bargain.
No, literally, the first job of government is to protect its citizens. Protection for investments and markets is decidedly secondary to that. Unfortunately, the failure to put the lives of citizens ahead of "respctin' muh authotitee" on the part of many cops constitutes an ongoing failure on the part of government to uphold its end of the bargain. And despite multiple lawsuits whenever that happens, not much changes, which just helps to demonstrate the inanity of the libertarian idea that torts can replace all other government actions, as the goal here isn't to provide recompense for damages, but to prevent them from happening in the first place.
