nobody should be condoning this violence, they should want peaceful protesting, not violence, not rioting, not looting. this doesn't help.
people can have a point when talking about what these officers did, but it doesn't help when they talk about something that is seen as more supportive of the rioting.
Retired black police chief dies in St Louis during looting

This **** has to stop...this is NOT moving the cause forward
Destroying replaceable property may not be on the same LEVEL of violence as murder, but it is ruining some people's lives, some of which the cause is supposed to be HELPING.........not to mention the deaths like the chief in St Louis last night
Then there's the Las Vegas police officer shot in the back of the head Monday night

I'm running out of ways to be disappointed.....oh wait, then there's Trump holding a Bible upside down
That supports our argument ; that's incredibly disproportionateQuote:

but Antifa doesn't exist and didn't do nothing, right.

Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert attributed the chaos across the city to Antifa. “I’m willing to bet my check that there’s a lot of people who are anarchists, who, they’re not here to protest what happened, they’re not here to protest what happened, they’re here to take advantage of situations and throw it their way and bring other people into the mix and cause damage and cause injury,” Cheif Schubert told KTKA-TV.
Schubert added, “There’s no doubt that that’s who’s doing it and a lot of things we’re seeing are white males, dressed in the anarchist, ANTIFA, they’re ones who are fueling a lot of this. It’s just a damn shame that they took advantage of the situation, for something, something happened in another state where somebody died who shouldn’t have died, and they hijacked that message for their own.”
During the riots, Bartels was wearing the trademark attire of Antifa militants: a black bandanna and a black hoodie. President Donald Trump says he’s moving to designate the organization a domestic terrorist group.

In that way, the “good” could separate themselves from the “bad.” With the black community, at first they were slaves so obviously no opportunity to succeed. Then for a century they were purposefully held back through separation and Jim Crowe laws not to mention police brutality and just flat out racism across the board.
We passed the civil rights act in the 1960s and eventually a lot of the racism from the past has worn off. But the jobs that one can peruse through sheer hard work and perseverance have worn off as well. It’s now easier and more lucrative for a young black male to join a gang culture than to go to school for 16 years and still maybe not get a job. Elitists have put college on a pedastool. White Elitist who feel guilty over the problems in the black community because their ancestors held slaves now want to micromanage the problems because they still feel like they are better than. That’s the true racism in this country now. It’s white people who treat black people like their children who they feel sorry for.
This makes me sick. We should all protest this and riot and loot from the people who were rioting and looting.Quote:

Whitey (which I am one) has had a tendency to do its best to hold down black people, figuratively and literally (knee to neck).Quote:

It’s sad your post has devolved into your classic “it’s black people’s fault” rhetoric you always trot out. Unsurprising, but sad.
