    I was totally referring to those past couple posts, but sure, we can reach deep. There's going to be people siding on all sides and anything in between on this issue. There's no easy answer. There's a lot of pent up outrage, and many in power are not making the situation any better. It's like Outlaw eluded to, shits going to burn. It doesn't mean those are the leaders to look towards.

    A tug of war between a protester and a cop over an umbrella lead to all of this.

    No we fucking aren't lol, read the damn posts instead of having your head up your ass. We are saying we get where all of this is coming from, the writing was on the wall for all of this and it keeps escalating. The cops are shooting shit at peaceful protestors and news media and tackling people who are not doing ANYTHING..which in turn ramps up other people. Then you have people coming from out of town just to score some shit and cause havoc. Don't lump them all into the same groups.

    I'm not talking about protesters and especially the peaceful ones. If anything bad happens to them, that is cause for concern and shame on the cops for that. I'm talking about LOOTERS and RIOTERS. I hope that is clear, I find their acts disgusting and the video I linked should more than highlight why. Those are not protesters that have the cause at heart.

    Thank you Draylo for paying more attention to the looters and rioters than the police.

    I'm concerned about both and the situation as a whole. I'm specifically calling out the looters because they are doing a lot more destruction right now than the police. Or do you honestly think the police are the ones burning all these cities down and looting ? When the looting/rioting stops and we have actual protests for justice, we can focus on reforms and mending the situation. Right now there is only chaos, those looters do not care for the cause or probably even know this mans name.

    Them ramming protestors with cars, shooting them in the face with tear gas over an umbrella, punching reporters from Australia and knocking down people and tear gassing the shit out of an entire crowd as the president takes a stroll certainly is NOT FUCKING HELPING. You do that shit and of course there are going to be some people who start to riot and break shit because they just got pushed beyond the breaking point. They came to do a peaceful protest, got shot in the head with a rubber bullet for standing around and then said "fuck this shit!".

    That's just me speculating the mindset of some of these individuals who are not the ones coming from out of state or doing the looting/rioting with a clear agenda to try to stoke the flames (Which are currently the large majority but the media is trying to play it off as if these people are burning their own cities down, while the people doing it give 0 shits because they aren't from there)

    I already said I condemn their actions if they are doing that to the real protesters. I'm aware some of these looters/rioters are bused in from other states. It's like you're trying hard to justify the looting and rioting, just stop. It is not the answer, I don't care whos fed up. You're involving so many people who were not involved in the first place, creating so many new victims and inciting more hatred and animosity. I don't see any benefit to it or any lasting change, the far left is literally screwing this for everyone involved, including the man who died. His family had came out and said he would not want this violence, what more do you need?

    Bad policing is the cause of all the chaos. Police deliberately being as cruel as possible to peaceful protesters is the cause of all the chaos. Refusing to acknowledge those problems is the cause of the chaos. Even now with these protests, they are spending more manpower corralling protesters than chasing looters and protecting people's livelihoods. There are actual protests for justice but you just don't want to see it because you're too busy staring at her tits.

    Of course, them too. If I sat here listing off all the things I condemn and dislike about this situation we would be here all day. He specifically mentioned the looters/rioters and compared them to Joker movie.

    After the initial incident, rioters started this off with burning the police station and it escalated from there. Everything else is debatable according to your point of view, I've seen the protests for justice and applauded them. I even saw some cops get in with the protesters and do it peacefully and loved seeing it.
