other countries aren't dealing with armed offenders to anywhere near the same degree.
So where do you draw the line at what you find "reasonable" protest ?? And for what causes are those actions ok and what causes not reasonable ???

I'm not going to say that dude deserved to die, but he did everything in his power to get shot other than turn and start firing, which was more than possible and seems pretty likely to be honest. I get his family is sad but they are being delusional. None are talking about the crime he committed, just that he loved his nieces and nephews. Which I'm sure he did but that's not even a little relevant.
Riot gear is surprisingly comfortable when you wear it everyday. Beating the **** out of arseholes in the "i CAN'T BREATHE WORLD" more difficult than it should be...

For your rhetoric, probably. But it does bring into stark relief what we're talking about here, the strain between laws and rights. It is the law that cops can shoot people willy-nilly, but that violates the people's rights, even some of the supposedly inalienable ones (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness). Now, rights aren't, and can't be, absolute, so figuring out where that line is can be tricky.
I'll support the protestors, and leave supporting the police mobs to you.
So, you're fine with police trampling over people's rights, as long as the police think the person is guilty at that time?
Interference with smooth functioning, such as blocking an intersection, is reasonable. Destruction of property is not.

Typical strawman.
I don't support police mobs nor do I support mobs that gather for specific reasons like this and act a fool.
So you're fine with mobs destroying things so future armed robbers are dealt with by officers who aren't armed and understanding to the armed person that just robbed people so that it makes some noise?
Who do you think is gonna hear this noise more? Criminals looking for justification or rational thinkers?
Hmm.

No.
People who are supposedly fighting for people's rights have zero right to impede on other people's rights. Impeding traffic and forcing people to stop under your control by force is kidnapping.
I understand protesters want to be heard but it doesn't entitle them to impinge on others. It makes zero sense. I'm glad you support it.

14 Days Of Protests, 19 Dead
Forbes counts at least 19 dead in two weeks of protests over George Floyd’s death.

If you're going to imply the narrative of just because a couple of people for the protesters, shouldn't you use the same for the bad cops?
It's not "just a couple" of people - for both. Every time something happens that I've seen on video it's many. Like, mob many.

The Far-Right Revolution Was Waiting for an Opportunity. Now, It's Here.
Whether most people have connected the dots or not, a violent struggle is already playing out.

Fatal Encounters: One man is tracking every officer-involved killing in the U.S.
“The number of people killed by police is microscopically small,” D. Brian Burghart said, but those deaths "symbolize systematic racism.”

I suppose you are not in support of the American Revolution then. Or women's right to vote. Or civil rights. Or gay rights. Nothing gets done in this country, since the very beginning, without protests which have historically inconvenienced others.

I'm 100% for all of those. What did I say that made you think otherwise?

Tbh, it's kinda of offensive to compare either Bernardo's protest with great changes and assume I don't believe in them. Actually, really offensive.
If you wanna equate it with those things then you're 100% wrong.

Just a shot in the dark here, but I'm gonna assume it's the post she's replying to.

Yeah, a swing and a miss.
Stop with this nonsense. Comparing people stopping traffic because they're mad that an armed robber was shot by police to the revolutionary war is like people who compare Obama or Trump to Hitler.
Gawd damn it.

I'm all for that.
Just because I don't support actions from protests in 2020 does not equate to I don't support any protest.
It's a cute guilt tactic though.
I can hear you protesters with this mentality now.
"Hey, this guy is upset we're blocking traffic!"
"How dare he."
"He doesn't support Women's Rights, Gay Rights or the Revolutionary War!"
"Get him!"
*guy sitting in his car terrified*
"I just want to get home to my wife and kids."
@Zombie - just a thought in the dark, but this is how I envision you think.
