Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

Just so we're on the same page, I have no problem with people protesting. Hell, block traffic or destroy a police car if that's what you gotta do.

I'm talking about those looting other innocent people's businesses or burning them down or destroying innocent people's cars. These are the POS I'm talking about. Do not lump them in with the protestors cause I stand with them, not the mob.
What if you have been protesting peacefully your whole life and nothing has changed? Is it ever justified to get violent?

Is it justified that cop car got destroyed after it tried to run peaceful protesters over? Was it justified to destroy the guys car that shot an arrow at someone in an attempt to murder them and the police let him go? These are the things I have been reading and hearing. I am not completely sure but I can at least see their side.
 
Bro, most of these people aren't out there for Floyd. They're opportunists that are taking advantage of the situation to loot. Arming people with the idea that this is OK is dangerous.

Well, I would say 99% of the people out there are out there for Floyd, and the 1% are out there distracting everyone from the issue (a justice system that has failed the Black people of our country). If we could address what the 99% are protesting (to me the big issues to start with are ending the war on drugs and holding police more accountable with community reviews) then the 1% would have no cover.

“Law enforcement officials in Minnesota believe there are white supremacists attending demonstrations in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, said Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell on Sunday night.

"They're agitators," he said, adding that authorities are trying to break up groups so "agitators" don't gather and incite chaos.”

My take: opportunistic people come in all shades. Some steal, some burn, some fight. They all are scummy and should be sent to an island for some Lord of the Flies action.
 
Case closed, guys. New York Post on teh scene.

Many of the businesses that have been burned down or looted are owned by minorities.

You better double down on your virtual signaling. I bet you're all for burning **** down until it's yours, eh?

Yes. But attacking, or burning random people's businesses down or looting them is something so ****ing moronic and not justified. Do you think that piece of **** behavior is justified?

This could very well be the case. I'm specifically talking about the extreme side of things. I think people protesting are there for Floyd. I think many of the looters are opportunists. @NAOS thinks they're burning down the corner Mexican restaurant and stealing from Sally's sister's store in memory of Floyd. I just think those ones are POS. Simple.

It's sad to think this is where we are in society in 2020.
