Perhaps they're just the result of anger spilling over because years and decades of calling out these unjust killings doesn't seem to have had any effect.


Effect on what?

The killing certainly appears to be unjustified and I have no problem with throwing the book at the officer but that doesn’t mean there is some nationalwide pattern. In fact, the actual data suggests otherwise.

People take single instances highlighted by the news and then try to extrapolate that event across time and space.

They are allowing themselves to be puppets to the narrative.

Someone asks you to back up your claims with facts and you run away?

Dont understand why they are attacking Target.

Then again logic and reasoning are out the window.

Honestly, none of this was about justice for George Floyd. This was an excuse to loot and act like animals. Robbing a target and breaking into ATMs has nothing to do with getting justice. Its unfortunate because this isn't helping their cause.

It should. Multiple public figures are now calling for open violence against police

One thing I do notice is that the MNPD seem to be ill-equipped. All of BRPD during Alton Protests looked like Master Chief. These guys are carrying wooden sticks

Anyone have any good livestream links to the chaos? I, for one, enjoy seeing packs of citizens burn their own city to the ground because they don't want to be treated like animals.

I didn't run away. I'm working and had a stupid Zoom meeting to log in for.


And you didn't ask me to back up my claims. You misrepresented my arguments and asked me to defend your misrepresentations. I can't defend something I didn't say.

This is absolutely crazy what I'm watching on TV. The police have lost total control of the city and the National Guard is the only way to reestablish order at this point.

Anyone find it ironic that these individuals who find themselves unprivileged, live in a country where they can do what they are doing right now and not get shot down immediately?

Looks like they are frantically trying to board up that Super Target.
