    Well maybe the liquor shops provoked the fires?

    Strange that you didn't use the same reasoning as in your first post...

    The looters/property destroyers are pretty much domestic terrorists

    Call me jaded its been three years of watching people use any possible reason to loot and steal things because "usually" a violent criminal died. I was wrong this time but its been the exception not the rule.

    I just want to know where is the hero we need in this dark hour?

    Unlike white nationalist with guns in capital buildings making threats and demands..

    Yeah no rioting isn’t terrorism.

    Probably poorly - being the one decent cop in a group isn't going to be great. This doesn't speak well of the profession.

    By the way, let's get this straight:

    Riots like these usually stem from a systemic issue in the justice system.

    Meanwhile riots complete with burning cars because a pumpkin party got asked to close is "just a rowdy bunch of people"

    and riots again with burning personal property because your fucking sports team won is well no matter...

    apparently the only bad riots are those by black people reacting to systemic justice system issues.

    Apparently rioting over pumpkins, or winning a game is not a big deal to a certain segment of the population.

    They are attacking fire trucks...

    In your effort to morally grand stand you sadly are siding with bandits and raiders and yes those terms are appropriate. You claim to believe that you are against police violence and deadly use of force while at the same time cheering on people who are making the need for more violent suppression necessary.

    In your weird nonsensical world you have criminalized peaceful protesting while wholly supporting rioting...

    They are not though. We have a ten hour stream they are robbing target and a liquor mart.

    It isn't a race issue these are just criminals stealing things you confused with people making a political point.

    The only thing going on in that live stream is peaceful protest. We get it, looting is bad--does that, in your mind, in any way mitigate the depravity of law enforcement having a long, ugly, unchecked history of murdering black people?

    I don't think Cruor understands how what he just said works against him...

    If there are bad cops, but then there are supposed to be "good cops" but good cops can't stop bad cops because then they'll be harassed, what does that mean for cops in general? That says even more so that you shouldn't trust them if none will speak up to protect you when things go too far.

    Also another angle of the detaining shows three officers on him.

    It's a damn shame there's so many people who pushed the narrative that the victim deserved to be killed. I especially love when those very same posters know they are in the wrong, but still try to argue their incorrect points. Seriously, this site has a real problem with white supremacists and their rhetoric.

    While you are absolutely right. Why don't they burn down the cops house, and the police station?

    You had no issue with murderers murdering people... so it seems odd that you are suddenly outraged by looting.

    I don't understand how you think the two are related. I also don't get your race angle either... in the states at least your most likely to die at the hands of a cop if you are Caucasian.

    Why is it you support rioting and looting?

    I assumed it was another case of a overly violent suspect dying while being apprehended. I was wrong. That doesn't justify this in anyway shape or form.

    I don't understand all the pearl clutching over black people rioting over system justice system issues.

    Yet no one gives two shits about... largely white people rioting over pumpkins


    or rioting over a sports team winning



    I guess flipping and burning cars over the eagles winning is okay, or rioting because police asked you to stop celebrating pumpkins is okay. No pearl clutching there. Then again those crowds look awfully homogenous so it can be expected to excuse them burning down private property and peoples cars and businesses because well... the fucking eagles just won!

    But rioting about systemic injustice... well that's just too far.

    You got caught shilling for murderers. End. Of. Story.

    You spent pages and pages justifying murder... and therein lies the irony. Once again, you are accusing them of supporting rioting and looting, when you supported murder.

    Why do you support murder?

    They're peacefully protesting outside the cop's house. Let's not conflate the protesting--much less the cause--with the looting, even though they're time proximate.

    The officers at least two of their addresses are now public, a few protestors have shown up there.

    That's what happens when you punish people pushing back against their stupidity while allowing them to remain unchecked.

    This is another thing, generally protestors who loot aren't people from the area, but people from outside.
