Minneapolis protests

[smityx]

Watching the start of the protests tonight on the news and I'm noticing one thing. They seem to be mostly white??? Especially the agitators.

Thread Warnings:

1. Wishing harm or death on others isn't appropriate for discussion regardless of recent events.
2. Be mindful of forbidden topics to avoid using harmful generalizations rather than discussing the topic. Racism will inevitably be a part of discussion, but keep the guidelines in mind to stay on topic and be civil.

How long till actual protesters start bombing police quarters as "revenge" ?

They are some leftwing agitators and some are for legitimate reasons.

The civil rights is for everyone.
It limits the power of the government.

When you see Hitler is killing a certain group of people, everyone should worry because anyone can be the next target.

Not sure, but there are reports that some incidents of arson in Minneapolis are being committed by cops disguised as protesters.

A lot of agitators indeed.

This is the leading internet theory. Take it with a grain of salt. The PD is denying it.

The PD is denying it.

The PD's credibility gauge hit zero awhile ago and the needle is wrapping around the stop.

That has all the hallmarks of some false flag shit right there.
If that guy isn't a police officer, he's definitely a paid actor.
As I said on Facebook:

Does this guy look like everyone else?
Does he?
Look at him. Look at his composure. Look at what he is wearing.
Look at the protesters who are all just kind of standing around, PEACEFULLY.
Look at them.
Then this guy shows up, and you can tell as they get a closer look at him, he's white. Hmmm...

Are we calling looting, burning stores and pillaging ‘protests’ now? If this was done by white people wed call it domestic terrorism.

Sure. We called armed occupation of government property a protest these days apparently so why the fuck not exercise your First Amendment rights by robbing a Target. /s

You can't make this shit up.

by robbing a Target

Would that be a Target of opportunity?

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

Looting is a political statement as well, it furthers the breach of status quo that the protest seeks. I don't get why people get so mad at some thousand dollars worth of lost merchandise. That's pocket money for the corporations and the government. And they're willing to spend orders of magnitude more than that in the repression apparatus.

Trumpers are always pretending to Support Government/State Workers like the Police until the Cops Stop them because they're snowflakes for not wearing a mask and/or Refusing to Stay at Home during a Pandemic.

Looting and pillaging is primitive culture.

And? This morally charged description gives very little of an argument.

I don't know how you got this idea.
But they do not loot corporations and the government!
Where and when did you see any such looting!? I am really curious.

They loot ordinary businessmen that have nothing to do with any of this, yet they pay the price.

Target is not a corporation apparently.

Do you need extra info on what makes up corporations/governments and how insurances work?
