Where is BMore?
Ahh, googled it. Most people I know call it Baltimore. And most people I know include a link or something so the thread isn't completely unreadable. Here, let me get that for you:

And you are from the west. Probably why it's BMore out here in the east and to those from Maryland.

I'll never understand how people think this actually helps anything. "I think the police wronged somebody, so I'm going to go destroy the whole ****ing city to prove a point. Oh wait, that doesn't prove my point? Well, at least I'll get some free stuff and maybe be on tv. I can always say I was there." Morans.
How else do they stand up to Unnecessary Police brutality/abuse? Damn system is broken, so go outside the system.
By raising awareness, marches, speeches, lobbying congress, bringing in more people from other races to their cause, education...
What they are doing shouldn't even be an option. It's a bandaid for a gunshot wound.
It won't, and never will, fix the problem. It only creates more.
So what does it say about our underlying pressures or desires or stresses when anything like this can set off hundreds of otherwise rational people and get them to commit atrocities as if they suddenly have no sense of right or wrong? I mean I remember the Rodney King riots and a lot of the people they showed were not the stereotypical angry young (pick a race) male. Why is there such violence and sociopathy bubbling just beneath the surface in so many people, just waiting for the slightest excuse to hurt others when they think they won't be caught or whatever? I get the whole crowd mentality thing, but I think it says something either to our nature or our society that it always goes this way. "Hey I'm pissed cuz of this guy I didn't know, so now other people are pissed to, so it's alright for me to destroy this little chinese restaurant and wipe out this guy's means to take care of his family (or burn a community center) in order to show how pissed off I am!! It is justifiable outrage man!!"
White college kids and white pro sports fans (most recently Winnipeg Jets fans) do the same exact rioting/property damage, but I haven't seen you wag your finger at them.
Of course there are more rationale ways to handle it, but it's seemingly the most practical as just talking with local legislators and lawmakers hasn't changed anything over the last 200 years. The politicians (local and federal) are completely self-serving, and only have an interest in their power and protecting it. So when their little dumb pig police officers ****s in the room, and they lie about it time and time again, it can piss people off.
This has been going on since the beginning of time, particularly the targeting of blacks, but now that social media is so common place in everyone's life it is now magnified and more people are becoming aware/exposed to these injustices. Obviously the more people who know about it, the more likely it is a person who is inclined to riot finds out and is sparked.
I STAND IN TOTAL SOLIDARITY WITH ALL WHO THE PIGS OPPRESS. **** THE POLICE.
