    This is way funnier I think. It really shows how some people feels about these riots.

    It means since white people don't get too much static from police, there's no racism, i.e., victims must have it coming.

    "Cops are just doing their jobs, you don't know how hard they have it."

    Uh huh.

    On a totally unrelated note have this absolutely fucking hilarious video of these two police officers trying to racially profile a black man only for them to get called out on their chickenshit clownery and a) being forced to admit their mistake in attempting to arrest the wrong person despite him identifying himself as someone else once they read his ID, and b) ...

    Wait for it...

    Having to call over their supervisor and hand their cards over the man they wrongly attempted to arrest, who is actually an FBI agent and will be registering a formal complaint against their department for racially profiling.

    People need the police. If you do not have an authority to turn to when in trouble, then you're fucked. That you're actively blaming the victims this hard is sad.

    The break-in was probably a no-knock raid by plain-clothes pigs, because motherfuckers are too stupid to read an address.

    Quoting for exposure. The people who "sympathize" with them are only doing it because they can safely say so behind gated communities, security and their money. Once that shit hits them in the face they think straight REALLLL fast.

    ~everyone now condemning violent protests.
    Nice You are arbiting who can or cannot protest. People have as much right to protest the kneeling as you have to protest what you want. EVERYONE has freedom to protest in this country for whatever they want, not just who you say can.

    Sure, but that's exactly why they lack the moral authority and the credibility to have their objections taken seriously now.

    White protestors can storm government buildings armed with guns but black protestors cant sit peacefully. It's never been more obvious of what is going on and if this hasnt opened your eyes, nothing will. You dont give a shit, stop pretending you do. Just be honest.

    The game your playing is over now. The side you're on is clear.
    It's open carry in Michgan so they were freely allowed to bring guns into the capital. ANd no they diod not "storm" into it either. You be honest.

    You heard him, folks. Time for every black person in America to go and find a firearm and bring them into public spaces within the limits of the law!

    Speaking of which, did y'all catch Jane Fonda's beret in her CNN interview? A+

    ANd again, who made you arbiter. Everyone has equal moral authority and have equyal credibility. They don't lack those because you don't agree with them. You are being elitist.

    They most assuredly do not, particularly people like you who are happy to excuse, overlook, and / or cheer on police violence, while perpetually expecting the people it's visited on to forever respond with "peace," lest you think less of them. Not sure why you think they or anyone else should give a ripe flying fuck what you think when your "support" was always provisional, assuming it existed at all.

    Yes they do. Again, who made you arbiter? EVERYONE has the right, not just who you agree with. That is elitist BS on your part and a reason not to take YOU seriously.

    Yeah that's totally normal seeing suppressors on assault rifles in response to a civil protest.

    I sincerely hope that the lights don't come back on for DC to a pile of bodies. Ugh...
