By the way my American friends, in case you didn't know, you might feel a little "better" about this sociological cluster fuck knowing that it's happened to us Brits fairly recently too. You know what they say - misery loves company:
Quote:Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old British man, was shot and killed by police in Tottenham, North London on 4 August 2011. The Metropolitan Police stated that officers were attempting to arrest Duggan on suspicion of planning an attack, and that he was in possession of a handgun. Duggan died from a gunshot wound to the chest. The circumstances of Duggan's death resulted in public protests in Tottenham,[2] which led to conflict with police and escalated into riots across London and other English cities.[3]

It's more likely to be unconscious racism than conscious animus, honestly. Black people get discriminated against, end up staying in poverty. You end up staying in poverty, you end up more likely to commit crimes. You end up more likely to commit crimes, the police see a lot of people who look like you doing bad things. The cops see a lot of people who look like you doing bad things, it's not that much of a stretch to imagine why they might assume the worst, like mistaking any sufficiently large object in one's hand for a firearm (even a toy train). The cops assume the worst of you, shit like this becomes inevitable. Shit like this keeps happening to your community, you stop trusting the police. You stop trusting the police, they don't trust you. They don't trust you, well, the cycle keeps going, just gets uglier, and is all but entirely self-sustaining.
Why, yes, that does suck.

I worry for my elderly aunt and uncle who live in Minneapolis.
I worry because my son-in-law has agreed to take my 14 year old granddaughter and a friend into Dallas tonight to observe, if not participate in, the protest that is planned there.
Coronavirus is now not the top thing on my list of stresses. <sigh>

President Good Brain has weighed in the only way that he knows how. On twitter, by repeating the slogan of a notable bigot who used the police force to actively oppress black communities in miami.
The official whitehouse account has also been plastered with garbage threatening extrajudicial killings.

AP reports the photo was total fabrication.

Why the riots?
Because thats what cunts do.
In 2003 police were chasing a black guy on a motorcycle in Benton Harbir Michigan - who was speeding - running multiple stop signs - riding through people's yards - and finally he lost control and crashed into a building and killed himself. At no point did the cops have contact with him or his motorcycle.
This was followed by three days of rioting - including shooting at the cops.
You explain it.
I can't.
Riots are bad, got it. Ta for the update.

They are the result of senseless agreement of a mob.

The IQ of a mob is equal to the lowest IQ in the mob divided by the number of people involved. During the Rodney King riots I saw footage of two people carrying a big TV out of a store. The box was on fire.

Some riots are, sure. Having participated in a few, I can attest that some riots are very carefully planned and sensibly organized.
That doesn’t appear to be the case here, though.

We rioted and looted our way into having a country because we didn't like our taxes. These folks are rioting and looting because they'd like the police to stop killing them.
Talk about some morons, amiright?
OMG, I found it! I knew I could get my very own black man with comments on this.
A riot is the language of the unheard- MLK
