Can people seriously believe these two combine?

Is it so wrong that I don't wish to see some family's business get destroyed and their life taken away from them?

Its a riot bro, shit gets destroyed, shops get looted, people get robbed, its not supposed to be pretty, its not supposed to be orderly, its not supposed to be friendly. Riots are one of the strongest political actions a group of people can make, and focusing on the individual injustices that occur in them (and don't get me wrong my friend, there are many), trivializes what is causing people to take this kind of drastic action in the first place. I understand that you have good intentions, and that you don't like watching people get robbed (I do not enjoy it either), but its important that you understand this.

Yeah, how dare people seriously believe others should have the right to self defense. The police will protect us, guys! Who needs weapons they're scawy.

Bullshit. You don't need to loot and destroy for political action. It just shows that inability of protesters to organize and the general disinterest for whatever some of them claim to be the cause. Rioting isn't the strongest political action, violence is.

Freddy did dope and sold dope. He deserved to die. That's what I understood from this thread.
Massive job loss will take place, but if left allowed to, the market will adapt. I just don't want my job to be taken away from me, tbh.

Here are my thoughts on this whole race issue in media recently. Although i sympathize greatly with the victims and the victims families, i believe the media has used this as a reason to spark outrage which generates more people watching their shows. This isn't even entirely a race issue, it's a police aggression issue. You have to look at it from a case by case basis because you will see that sometimes it is a race issue, sometimes it is a poverty issue, sometimes it is a gang issue, and sometimes it's something else entirely. All of these examples are collectively what is wrong with many police departments in our country. Instead of these massive protests/riots over the death of an individual black man, it should be peaceful protests to train and desensitize police, stop giving them military grade weapons but start giving them military weapons training (Not pointing guns at people when they don't intend to kill). Race is a very small part of the bigger problem at hand.

Side Note: Many of the police officers who are committing these murders need to be put in jail.

I bet 3/4 of the rioters never knew him, don't know why he was arrested in the first place, and don't know what his health was like. All in all, they want attention and better jobs. News flash, you have to work for those yourselves like the millions of Black Americans who lead a very good life style.

Compare 'violence' to a military campaign without unnecessary killing, and compare rioting to Russia in Chechnya, and you have a pretty good idea what I'm trying to say.

Waste, i sort of feel like you don't understand the whole story behind this mess :3 Police can't just kill people without good reason yet they do, that's the problem.

Refer to my previous post,
