Yes, we're all aware of how prejudice and unconscious dehumanization has you convinced all young dark-skinned people look dangerous.
All Latino/Hispanic adolescents look to be in their mid-twenties to you and resemble rapists and MS-13 members.
All black adolescents look to be in their mid-twenties to you and resemble violent criminals and thugs.
It's no secret why an officer shot and killed Tamir Rice for waving a toy gun on an empty playground almost immediately after arriving on the scene.
He was black; so the officer's prejudice and unconscious dehumanization of blacks led him to believe that Tamir Rice must have been a 20-something year-old man and not a 12 year-old boy.

dude, they looked like dangerous gangbangers because they were rioting and tearing the store apart ...

They looked like 12 year olds having a fight, like 12 year olds do. You people need to get a grip.

Did you actually see the video? If you owned the FroYo place, would you be happy about what happened?

Have some empathy.

All this talk about empathy for the FroYo patrons as if that's the ultimate tragedy in all this.
Any empathy for the two teens who got shot? Anybody give two shits about their status or has prejudice and dehumanization led you to be "Meh" about their injuries?

You're the one minimizing violence. Look to yourself.

You think it's normal for 12 year olds en masse to riot in a FroYo?

I think it's normal for 12 year olds to get in fights. I saw some kids pushing and shoving, throwing a couple punches. There's no riot there. Calling that a riot is a sign of a brain so diseased by racism that it can barely function.

wow. I know you think you're being some kind of anti-racism hero, but you're really not.

Look to yourself and minimize your vitriol towards people of color since you admittedly see them all as gangbangers.

Lol. Good luck with that. Maybe chose a more sympathetic group of kids to defend next time.

I've seen the video. There's no riot there. I'm not trying to be any kind of hero, I'm just describing the facts as they are transparently obvious to anyone who watched the video rather than the sensationalist media coverage.

I see now why we have kids doing such atrocities. It's people/parents like PP who thinks these acts are normal, well, breaking news, they are not! I'm sure you will continue to claim that it is and pull out the racism card, because it's easier to do that than to admit that something is wrong.

Not defending that select group of kids doofus. I'm talking about your tendency to automatically profile every single kid in the DMV with dark skin as a thug.

Normal doesn't mean "acceptable" it means "don't lose your mind about it." Sure pushing and shoving and fighting are wrong. Depending on the severity of what happened, the kids age, etc. they're appropriate for either parental discipline or legal punishment, which spoiler alert, is what's happening (https://www.fox5dc.com/news/two-arrested-after-frozen-yogurt-shop-brawl-in-dc-police-say). Going on line to call this a "riot" or an "atrocity" or to call the kids "dangerous gangbangers" is what's crazy. They're kids being bad, like kids are sometimes; you don't have to think it's okay to realize it's not worth freaking out about.

So what's your opinion of gangs of juveniles assaulting & stomping on people in DC? Because that's happening too. Is that just kids being kids? How about when they shoot each other?

But you did say it seemed like gangbangers were rioting. If there's nothing wrong with embellishment when it comes to your perception of things then I'm gonna do the same - seems like you fear/hate all dark skinned people from 9 years of age to 90. Touché.

No, just these kids. They assaulted the owners and the woman needed stitches. On what planet is that profiling?

Most kids don’t act like this. Ignorant, feral ones perhaps do.

Only on "planet rationalization" can you call leaving a pleasant, free family themed holiday event, punching frozen yogurt owners in the face and stripping bare a 7-11 "normal kid behavior". Plus whomever then shot 2 more kids as part of their zoo lights outing was no doubt also a kid or young adult. Planet rationalization must be a really dangerous place if this is how the "normal kids" act. What happens when they act out?!
