Destroy everything. No one have a house anymore. All businesses gone. People form into pacts like some gangs in a third world country. Everyone has to fight for food. No more grocery stores.

Yes. This is basically an unmoderated board now too to boot

Well I guess no one should protest if the world doesn't become a utopia within a day.

Burning down the city you live in sure is a creative way to improve your situation.

There is no end game. This is an act of desperation and anger, because when they try to protest peacefully it does not work. How fucking ironic that this all started with a man kneeling

It's a riot, not a lecture. Forgive the crowd of rightfully angry people if their decisions aren't all crafted towards winning your approval.

Be mad about it, what we're witnessing is a recurring moment in history and it is neither the first nor last time violence was used to precipitate societal change

I'm all for protests, but I'm not for upending other people's lives who had nothing to do with the killing.

I'm also wondering how many of the people who are upset, actually voted in the 2016 election because according to the Pew Research Center black votes dropped in the 2016 election. This allowed the most divisive president in the history of the U.S. to win the election.

Yeah everyone should go back to being called sons of bitches for kneeling during the anthem and being trashed as annoying thugs when a protest is inconvenient to the status quo.

Oh I'm sure it wasn't literally every person in the state who was rioting, so this isn't necessarily regret.

Yeah riots are pretty bad huh? Maybe we should instead take peaceful protesters seriously instead of ignornig them or flat out smearing them and saying their protests is about "DISRPESPECTN DA TROOPS" when it's not?

they tried doing things peacefully and conservative/right wing snowflakes (the people in power) told them to shut up and ignored them

so this is what ends up happening

To what extent is it their city? To what extent do they exert any control over the political outcomes of it? The city council last year unanimously approved a budget increase for the cops despite community backlash.
https://m.startribune.com/affordable-housing-police-cadet-class-among-highlights-of-minneapolis-1-6-billion-budget-for-2020/566081511/
But it was the police recruit class that drew the most attention during a public hearing before the vote. One downtown business owner thanked the mayor and council for adding officers, but most speakers argued against it, saying it didnt address root causes of violence and would have a disproportionate impact on blacks.

If policing was going to help our problem, it would have happened by now, said Mysnikol Miller, a neighborhood organizer on the North Side. We have had plenty of police for plenty of years, and its not improving anything.

After initially proposing to hire 14 officers a measure that drew a swift outcry from some community groups Frey and council members negotiated to put the funding toward hiring and training 38 cadets in an effort to strengthen the shrinking department.

As part of the compromise, they moved additional money to the citys violence prevention programs, bringing the total to $2.7 million.


Their Democratic senator is the prosecutor who let Floyd's killer off the hook when he killed people previously.

Their lives won't be upended, they will be paid fat sums of cash from insurance companies to rebuild or do with as they wish.

Yeah its not unmodded its just incompetently modded. Gfaqs mods cant grasp nuance or context or really anything beyond black and white offensive and or insulting posts.

Anything remotely complex is really beyond the comprehension of most of the moderation staff tbh.

That's why I don't like the riots, actual criminals can seep in, careless of the cause, and make all sorts of destruction.

People keep spinning the MLK quote about riots, when in reality his speech was about how to avoid them to the general public if you see it in context. He believed, firmly, that peaceful protest is the way to go. He literally changed the world with them.
