re: Does Mayor Broome deserve credit for keeping the peace?

Actually, not having a race baiting President and AG is why.

These policies....

The six platform demands are:

1. End the war on black people.

2. Reparations for past and continuing harms.

3. Divestment from the institutions that criminalize, cage and harm black people; and investment in the education, health and safety of black people.

4. Economic justice for all and a reconstruction of the economy to ensure our communities have collective ownership, not merely access.

5. Community control of the laws, institutions and policies that most impact us.

6. Independent black political power and black self-determination in all areas of society.

1. Will be tough. Gonna need a large cooperation from the majority. Majority may have to humble themselves and look in the mirror and asking themselves "why must we have the n*****"? This "race problem" here in American (don't give a shite about other countries we don't live there) and is foremost a man made problem and a problem started by the majority. Overcome/confront what ever psychological or mental fears or concerns we may have.

2.shoudlve been done a long time along. This is how we compensate people in this country for their pain and suffering -- land and some $. We see plenty of settlements go to the families of the deceased. There is no good moral reason for why this never happened or should have happened. It's morally corrupt and bankrupt. A lot of these problems still stem from this fact that we have concretely admonished ourselves or compensated them for their suffering. They know it and we know it too. Affirmative action isn't not an all inclusive black program-- white women have benefited from it more than any group and all that does is pull resources back to us. Nice play men.

3. End the private prison complex and stop all stock trading on those entities. It's modern day slavery in a round about way...you're able to buy and sell human labor...many of which is in a regressive fashion.

4. Give all petty weed/drug offenders tax incentives or small business loans/stipends (interest free) to start their own marijuana dispensaries. there's nothing more hypocritical or just bankrupt than the majority making billions off an industry we through millions of black and brown males in prison for. Again, they see the hypocripsy loud and clear. Do right by theM.

5. LEO work for us. We pay their salaries, and they are public servants. Time to get them back to serving the people and not killing them.

6. Ehhh this needs some work

I appreciate the response

Strong Safety, I'm not going to reply to all of your idiot points.

I'll just sum it up by saying you're a dumbass.

You are sooo misguided Little Grasshopper. I don't even know where to start.

The strong show of force during the previous protests kept the out of towners from bussing in.

I would think the police shootings last time kept a lot of the sjw types at bay as well.

She actually said nothing to be able to keep the peace. In fact, she actually said things to encourage protesting, albeit not violence.

However, the rain gets the win on this one. And the laziness of the protesters.

Honestly, now that I've typed that, I think it also has to do with lack of national media attention. I think had CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc been out there, we may have had a different situation on our hands. These people want to be seen more than actually advance a cause. They only had local media out there praying and wishing for some protest to get some better ratings, no national outlets, thank God.

She actually agitated the situation by making inflammatory comments at her presser. It just shows how terrible she is as a leader.
