Milwalkee riots

IKR, because the thing to take away from this has little to do with institutional inequality or the entirely predictable breakdown of civil society,  a broad and justifiable lack of confidence in the basic premise of american culture is uninteresting and unimportant....how irritating the opposing infotainment networks coverage is, otoh....

QFT. It's a terrible feeling, when people treat you like you're not human. I think a lot of privileged conservatives have never experienced what that's like.

How about you watch the video, Tres?

I like to question things and I question a video from a source that wasn't clear that uses violent protestors as a form of entertainment. Music from The Nutcracker Ballet in the background, calling the violence an "authentic" portrayal of Milwaukee and "favorite moments "... and the  biggest takeaway by the OP are a few grammatically incorrect words. 

So sad! I have roots in Wisconsin  and I like Milwaukee. There are so many issues here with so many layers but I suppose to the uncurious, none of that matters.

In the meantime, a few days ago, 14 year old Jesse James Romero was killed by police and no-one says anything, and I have looked everywhere on this forum and others besides. It seems that if, you are hispanic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, English or Aboriginal, your life doesn't matter unless you are of African origin and got shot by a specifically WHITE police officer. (black officers don't count it seems.)

But he's privileged!

It just makes my blood boil when I hear something about that and it is nowhere to be seen on this forum or another forum that I like to look at from time to time. I am quite old-fashioned in that if you want to give a policeman or woman shit, then expect the consequences and assume them. A bit like that woman who accused the policeman of harassing her when he pulled her over. She was supposed to produce her documents but no, she telephoned 911 and accused the policeman of harassing her, when in reality, he had to listen to her talk shit about him for about 10 minutes. She asked to be arrested and she got arrested, tough shit for her.

Anyone tell you, shit for brains, that the goofy dip shit can get his GED, for free, and get a warehouse job, or any number of other jobs that pays him money? Hillary and Barack have been boasting that they've added all kinds of jobs.

Spoken like a truly privileged moron that has no clue as to how bad the educational systems are in the inner-cities.  How is someone supposed to get their GED when they barely have the skills to add two-digit numbers?

Oh, and I can't believed I missed this, but I love how you automatically assumed the black guy is lazy and unemployed.  But you're not racist, right?

Yeah, that's exactly what it means.

Riots are an historically effective way to get both media coverage and change. It's no wonder people resort to riots. A protest might get 5 minutes of coverage on CNN, a riot will get 24 hour coverage. In a perverse way our system encourages riots.

Spoken like a truly naive SJW dipshit. I probably know a hell of a lot more about growing up in an inner city than you do. How privileged are you?

Anybody who expects others to just GIVE them money is someone who has no sense of personal responsibility and is too lazy to get job and earn a paycheck. There's nothing racist about that.
