[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it takes some fires and smashed windows to get and keep people's attention, so be it. Property is not more important than people. One side is murdering people, the other side is smashing windows, and a lot of you are riled up about the wrong one. [/quote]

If they Burn the police HQ maybe, trash their cars...that would at least make sense.  But wrecking useful businesses, WTF?[/quote]
Not to mention new apartments under construction. They've gone mad.[/quote]

Unicorn Riot was live-streaming the protests last night. They were saying that the locally owned businesses were not being damaged, and mentioned that the condo development was not build for people who live there.

I watched the video of the man as he was dying last night. There was no "madness" in the conduct of the officers. There was no "heat of the moment". You can hear officers telling this man to get up and get in the car, while his neck is kneeled on (view blocks the other officers who were holding him down). You can see block seeping from his nose as he groans. There is no attempt on his part to move. Then there is silence from the man for several minutes. People are yelling at the officer to check his pulse. They do not. When EMTs arrive one of them holds his fingers to the man's neck, walks away (in the direction of the ambulance) and--slowly--the gurney appears and--slowly--the limp body is moved to the gurney.

What is worse--the madness of flames and broken windows or the casual callousness of asphyxiating a man slowly while telling him he should get up and get in the car?[/quote]
