It seems like people want to look to the past and emulate major events or movements.
All of the hippy protests of the 1960's have been imitated ad nauseam by today's coddled youth.
Recently the Rodney King riots are being repeated, but at least in the 90s they waited for the cops to be acquitted. I'm not saying they were justified in that situation, but it definitely makes a lot more sense than this stupidity.

Twitter is trying to compare looting Target to the Boston Tea Party.

Mace from a fire cannon would be awesome right now.
Even better, some flammable liquid in a high pressure sprayer.
Guarantee that once they are doused in something that will catch fire they’ll quit this riot shite.
Maybe go change and rethink their life and go to a little restaurant, get some
The smell of freshly cooked pizzas makes everyone happy.

Why don’t these people go after government buildings if they want actual change? How is looting a target gonna stop police brutality or whatever

It is funny because a ton of the rioters were white.

A dozen or so busted in, cops hit it with tear gas, everyone scattered.

So protest the police by committing crimes?
Yeah, that's never going to work.

Tonight is going to get rough if they are already looting in broad daylight.

People are in arguments even more than ever, and oh, there's a very divisive election coming up, where whichever side loses, I'm not sure they are going to be able to peacefully accept it.

Twitter is a full blown Looney bin most of the time, but it's gone completely off the rails today.

Yea the city needs to put a move on things. If they are gathering evidence, witnesses, etc. They need to do so even faster and get these guys arrested asap.
Otherwise this thing will only get worse before it gets better. But even once they get arrested, I don't think that will do much to change anything what's going on.

As much as people say the police are all racist and only desire is to kill black people. This whole ordeal still doesn't support their viewpoint.
If the police really just wanted to kill off black people, then it seems like now with 100s of people acting a fool in the streets, this would be the perfect opportunity for all the racist cops to go Boston Massacre style and just start spraying into the crowds.
Yet that never happens, I wonder why...

So it has somehow morphed from anger over an unjustified killing by the police to taking down the capitalist system to presumably put in some kind of socialist utopian society where there are no police to enforce laws (presuming there are any laws in this new society).
Those people blame everything on capitalism. It’s their boogeyman. I’ve even see people saying Venezuela failed because of capitalism.

Guess i'll go back to ignoring this again as these uneducated morons destroy their city
"Stop targeting us." Ignored.
"Stop killing us." Ignored.
Protests in the streets. Ignored.
Burning/looting. Ignored.
How far could you be pushed?

I'm mad so let me destroy and steal from my community. Makes sense.

The fact they're burning and looting businesses that have dick all to do with the incident that happened?

Looting/destroying property is unacceptable under ANY circumstance.

They literally hit up all the liquor stores, pawnshops, and poor phone shops.
Fulfilling all the tropes today.
