Quote from: Ratman_tf;1132187Setting aside the hyperbole, I'd be fine with most of that. The police should be held responsible for their policing.

Now, how does burning down a tennament in a black neighborhood accomplish all that?

The landlord gets pissed off, pulls strings at city hall, then shit flows downhill, all through the disgustingly corrupt network, until the sacrificial lambs get prosecuted.

Quote from: Taggie;1132164'But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard.
And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met.
And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquillity and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.'  -Martin Luther King April 14, 1967, in 'The Other America'

Quote from: sureshot;1132182Right back at you and yours Zoomer.

Except your dumb enough to try and start something with the police and get shot. I actually have common sense and survival skills and not escalate the situation with someone carrying a gun.

so you only run a high risk of getting shot on police contact, for the sexual gratification of a psychopath in uniform

yup, he preached a system that has failed for over 50 years, then at the end acknowledged the only way that works

The fucked up things in all of these protests are:

1. Americans will never see a $600 /wk stimulus check again. When people have too much free time in their hands this sort of shit happens. Now the whole nation suffer because of a few criminals. Technically all these protesters are collection unemployment benefits + the Covid stimulus aid. In other words, the government is paying them to do this shit.

2. Businesses that were already struggling, will have to start from zero due to arsons and looting. If the government covers their costs, or cities get suede for lack of security, etc... ultimately the burden is passed on to the taxpayer.

3. It will take as many as 15+ years for the economy to recover from covid and riot crisis. America is in trouble, where are these kids parents!? Why aren't they being grounded!?

And none of your suggestions are implemented.

Riot Away then! I'm sure a looted flatscreen TV is appropriate compensation for the death of a black man by police brutality.

Just a bunch of peaceful protestors being harassed by cops, right guise?

Oh worst than that.  These fucking idiots just created a whole new generation of racists.  Hate begets hate and it is a viscious cycle.  If I was a BLM member I would quite the movement and cut ties from it.

Quote from: Taggie;1132191so you only run a high risk of getting shot on police contact, for the sexual gratification of a psychopath in uniform

That assumes every police officer is a bigoted, trigger happy loon. Which many are not. Given your trying to push a narrative insert the part about all of them being made from the same cloth or something similar.


I stand up for myself when Ineed to do so. I'm also not a complete idiot and start mouthing off and escalating the situation.

More like, the landlord collects what insurance money he can, sells the property, and splits, and then it sits there vacant and useless.

Cool story bro.

They never would be implemented anyway, best you can do is do so much damage at least some bad cops go to jail (not sure their is such a thing as a good cop anyway)

Agreed and seconded.

The only thing the armchair anarchist is going to be rioting with is how fast he can type and click from the safety of his home.

What happened to the America I knew!?

Then people squat it, which is a much cheaper alternative then making a land lord rich, and the accommodation is about the same quality

Cops don't go to jail because some nitwits stole a cheesecake.
