Target is a big supporter of the police. The theory is to make Target etc put pressure on the police to do better; if they cannot protect businesses and/or continue to cause riots by murdering people, those businesses will close that location. Less revenue for the city, that gets politicians attention. It's a pipe dream and won't solve the problem, but since actually convicting murdering pigs is clearly off the table, it's about all they have. Looting/rioting isn't just what it seems at face value.

RaulJenkins 04/12/21 12:22:51 PM #69:	I Like Toast posted... if your reaction to someone being shot and killed is to get mad at looters over the people who shot and killed someone. You need to spend a long time working on yourself. Looters are bad, it's also completely irrelevant and not at all where your mind should be going. It's an obvious attempt to deflect the conversation away from cops killing yet another minority. No, that's one of my reactions. I don't need to spend any time working on myself. I can have two reactions, and I most certainly can (on rightful ground) call out people who go around beating out windows of businesses that do not belong to them and steal things that do not belong to them because of an atrocity that was committed. I can have a reaction to someone getting unjustifiably shot and killed by police, and believe me, it's pretty fucking sickening. IMO it doesn't deflect the conversation away, it just shows me both sides. Cops are ruining people's lives and something has to change. Unfortunately, with these actions (the looting), we have absolutely no idea how someone else's life is affected (yes, business owners have potentially lost livelihoods because of damage done to their properties that "isn't covered" by insurance for whatever reason) It's a giant problem, but you are right, the police killing is the immediate issue, because it is MUCH more of a widespread problem (beyond the United States) than instances of looting. But my mind is still going to think about the other people who are affected because of this chain reaction of events. If correcting the issue with the whole police system fixed all of this, then it would be the ONLY relevant issue. These police shootings prompt looting, but aren't the only explanation as to why these instances of looting exist Someone in this topic said the looting was justified. If it is, then that means that potentially ruining other people's lives is justified. --- Raul <cite>RaulJenkins posted [p:952748735] in 20-year-ol...

Right or wrong, you cannot say the LA riots in the 90s did not (albeit briefly) illicit change within the dept. You cannot say that the Minneapolis riots did not illicit the city to reform and revamp policing within the area. Right or wrong, rioting has historically been just about the only thing that makes any kind of real change/progress towards police reform and even civil rights. It's also how the entirety of the labor rights movement happened in the gilded age. Power only responds to power. Literally the entire history of human civilization bears this out.

I will never understand why rioters target malls, it is completely irrelevant to the message you want to send and does more harm to yourself than good. This is the equivalent of groups of women attacking random men off the streets to protest about sexual harassment or domestic violence, at least with that statement the logic there makes more sense but it's still extremely wrong for them to carry out their crimes. If you rioters want to send a message then how about you actually attack the source of your frustrations and riot police stations instead of random ass malls if you're so damn angry at them?
