The black community is hurting themselves acting like this and rioting. Giving the media what it wants. Stop it!

"The black community" aren't the only people protesting...

True, but they’re the only ones looting.

Focusing on the looting = waving the confederate flag.

Did you get our your special tiki torches out on Memorial Day?

This is a weak statement.

The rioting and looting were a result of the reaction to this awful death.
They are hurting innocent business owners, destroying property, and causing the taxpayers of the city undue costs.

The police station and police cars that were damaged and destroyed? They'll be repaired and replaced - at the taxpayers expense.

Rioting and looting is just stupid and short sighted. Many were simply taking advantage of a bad situation. The people there who were protesting should speak out against these criminals.

The only criminals we really need to focus on right now are the killer cops.

Your continued focus on looting says a lot about you.

Really? Looting going on right now at the Target in Minneapolis.
When you come out to protest, and you start stealing stuff, you become a thief.
When you come out to protest, and you start burning stuff, you become an arsonist.
Thieves and arsonists are criminals.

The justice system will take care of the cops. Hopefully, the justice system will also take care of the criminals who are taking advantage of this situation.

Looting isn’t the issue here.
. . .

Really?

- what about all the sick people who depended on the pharmacy for their life-saving medications?
- how about those who depended on the Target minute clinic?
- and now the Target employees there are unemployed. For what?

Those looters just victimized countless innocent people right there in their own community.

But you don’t think it’s an issue at all??!?

+1000 There are consequences for innocent people who did nothing wrong. There is absolutely nothing high and mighty about looting and rioting. It's out of control mob behavior.

In response to an out-of-control racist police force who MURDERED someone because of the color of their skin.

So in retaliation you get to steal a big screen t.v. from Target and torch a nearby apartment complex? Explain to me how this rights any wrongs? Answer: it doesn't. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Omg. Fock the TVs. Fock the windows. Fock Target. Those.do.not.matter.

I’m disgusted by the vile racist scum that are more worried about a TV than a man who lost his life because of the color of his skin.

WTF is wrong with you? Were your parents racist?

You are responding irrationally and emotionally. That is what the looters and rioters are doing. And, it serves NO purpose.

Because last I checked, the business owners didn’t have anything more to do with this man’s death than you did. So come on, put your money where your mouth is and let them have at it.

Please highlight the post(s) where someone -- anyone -- is making this argument.

Look inside yourselves and think hard about why you are spending more time thinking about how wrong the rioting and looting is than about the poor man who suffered and lost his life for no good reason.

Better check in with their black racist police chief.

He may not be racist, but he is a cop so he will protect his fellow officers.
That’s why this bullshit continues because cops don’t hold each other accountable.

Yes, and the head of the police union is a racist pig. He is a huge Trump supporter and rides in a white supremacist motorcycle club.

I’m sure he has inserted himself in the situation.

Vote for the change you want.

I tried that. The change we got is so NOT the change that I want.

Here's the other thing: if you're a member of a minority group in a majority/winner-takes-all society, voting is just one small step -- and it's often an ineffective one. I will always vote. Too many people died for my right to do so for me to willingly give that up. But I have no illusions about how far that vote is likely to take me in the direction of the changes that I want to see.

You're obviously voting the wrong way. So is most of Minneapolis.[/quote

So, tell me again what my "obvious" options are?

Wasn’t one of the cops in this situation black? Or is that an inconvenient fact that goes against the narrative that only white cops kill black people?

When the story first went viral, I think the vast majority of people only thought that a white and asian officer were involved.

That explains why this case got so much attention. The justice warriors have a preference for white officers using excessive force on black people. This is why nobody takes them seriously.

There are countless incidents involving white officers using excessive force on white people and they are largely ignored.

So start another thread, provide some citations, and they won't be ignored.

They are angry that 4 police officers who nonchalantly killed a man on the street - clearly documented on video - are sleeping in their bed tonight.

I am angry too.

Why aren’t you angry? Why do you want to turn the conversation away from the murder and to the TVs?

Republican Trey Gowdy is saying there's NO reason why the killer cop hasn't yet been charged and arrested.

Why won't any of their Democrats say this?

O.k so if some random guy gets shot by the cops in...say...Toledo, Oh....you are cool with some pissed off, frustrated person torching your house and destroying the business it took you 40 years to build? Are you sure you want to offer yourself up as someone else's punching bag like that?

Dial 911? You DO get that the most criminal part of all of this is that "911" was already there -- and busy, right?
And you DO get that without the recordings all of this could have been swept under the rug, right?
Of course you do.

Plenty of Democrats have said this, including the mayor of Minneapolis.

So if an angry mob storms your house, ransacks it and runs off with your big screened t.v. before setting the house on fire...you would totally understand?

The D mayor already said this. Posted several pages back.
