Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

[Rubashov]

Why were they looting in the first place there?

I dont know the situation I was not there. The video is very hard to tell. That is what lots of eye witnesses claimed.

Some of the looters are the victims and have been for generations and were trying to make a point. I am sure others were poor people that saw looting and joined in for free things. But you have your mind made up about it. You believe looting is never okay and people should be stabbed for looting a Target.

Its far beyond a black and white issue to me, like most things.

I get mob violence, hell i'm all for it. But why aren't they burning down republican offices, NRA joints, tea party and newscorp buildings? Target your oppressors.

I don’t think he’s saying they’re Russians. And I don’t think anyone is saying that all the property damage or fires are from this, just that it’s a thing. I believe this type of thing is happening and it would behoove all of us to research the Boogaloo movement.

I have personally seen it happen in riots in Turkey. Nationalists leading people where police are waiting, ambushing people, reporting to police, etc. It's definitely a tactic.

Uhhh. Ironic fraction...

I could not disagree more. I definitely don't understand them but I'm trying. Based on people's posts here it's clear most people don't understand them.

I’m not saying we know what it’s like to walk in their shoes. I obviously do not. I’m simply saying I think most of us understand blacks in this country are beyond being sick and tired of being discriminated against, judged, harassed, assaulted, and killed and are at a boiling point. They want to be treated fairly and with decency like any human being deserves.

This.

I still can't believe he doesn't have a problem with the innocent being involved.

Fair enough. If you think most people understand that its even ******** how few people actually do anything about it or actually believe them.

White people behind keyboards rationalizing the rioting and looting is dangerous and almost unanimously unwelcome by the black community. It’s destroying black communities.

I'm still flabbergasted with people doing this. Like, if you don't understand why people are rioting, burning things down, looting, destroying everything in sight then you simply just don't get the message. Virtue signaling at its finest.

Gawd damn it.

 

[Miggs]

eh?

If anyone is glorifying rioting and looting, yeah. If anyone is saying "yes, this is what needs to happen!" yeah.

Understanding where this came from... I think that is the obligation of all people.

So I wanted to respond to this again. I think the internet is dangerous. Words from behind a keyboard are dangerous. Tone and context amongst other things are not oftentimes accurately conveyed. I think a White person even saying “I understand why they’re pissed,” nodding one’s head as they post it with a sort of supreme confidence as if one’s helping the cause, is potentially very irresponsible and dangerous. I’ve seen a handful of blacks whose cities have been destroyed or businesses ruined saying such.

Or maybe you think you understand when you don't? What makes it clear other posters don't understand the message? Because they're against rioting and looting? Does that mean that Floyd's family doesn't understand too?

That sounds nice if they were organized and were not beyond upset and rational.

Also there are far far more oppressors than that. The reality is most institutions, organizations, and businesses are oppressors in many of their eyes. Property ownership is an oppressor.

Not sure what you’re saying here. Not saying that in any sort of a flippant or argumentative manner. I just don’t understand.

I couldn't agree more. I just don't get it, man
