Tragic how the public responds to the tragedy at Minneapolis.  Unacceptable. Prayers for all the normal and peaceful citizens <3

What's currently happening is unfortunate but entirely unpreventable. Whether or not race relations are as bad as claimed by the media, it's clear that they have won the war on information in this category. The message is set and there is no going back now. Much like the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, George Floyd's death will once again bring to attention the injustices and prejudices African-Americans face on a daily basis. It's obvious that looting and burning won't do much to help the cause, and they will use Floyd's death as justification for their actions. Collateral damage is never taken out of definition quite like it is when there is a martyr involved. There's this section in "The Anarchist's Cookbook" I believe that focuses on a similar issue to the one in question. It extrapolates from historic examples that humans, no matter their class, color, or sex, will exploit a crisis for their own benefit (and potentially amusement). The scapegoat here is the police. In terms of scale, the situation and perspective has gotten so bad that there isn't anything (barring maybe hanging the guilty officers publicly) that will appease the public. They are the perfect scapegoat, and will be used as such to substantiate any acts of civil disobedience that may occur.

The US police force is interesting in the fact that it rarely, if ever, calls out it's own members for illegal acts. They are very tight knit, and close ranks when the situation calls for it.

Half of the cops who partook in Rodney King's beating got 30 months (eventually reversed), the other half got off scot-free. Even after the video footage and one of the worst riots in American history, they STILL defend their actions.

Yes, I'm in no way defending the police officer. I'm just calling out the uncalled for and pathetic actions of all the protestants involved in the vandalism.

Figures that it would be Protestants involved. Where are my fellow minimalist Fraticelli practitioners at?

I am currently on the way to become a Police Officer in Germany. You have to study for 3 Years to become a Police Officer and you are required to pass multiple Psychological Screenings.

We learnt to take care of People in our custody in our first week, and how fast people can choke.

The Fact that American Cops are trained for 2 MONTHS is absolutely insane. That Cop murdered that Man and I think it is completely legit that the People there are currently rioting.

Looting and destroying properties will sure help their case lul @caz

Well, the problem with their riots is that it essentially serves a self-defeating purpose. The American Justice system absolutely is beyond fucked, but what's happening now isn't going to accomplish anything. Nothing short of marching Capitol Hill in the millions will make Washington change their minds. They directly profit off of this system, so it makes sense that they only offer empty platitudes instead of meaningful legislation. Their anger is justified, now they just need to direct it at the people who actually dictate this shit.

The only way I can see change done in the coming weeks (without doing anything said above), is the National Guard pulling another Kent State, this time with a much higher death toll. The outrage will be nationwide, maybe even global. D.C. will be forced to act due to collapsing public opinion. Barring that, have fun with keeping up on our broken administration.
