Move to the suburbs.

The stores will 100% relocate to the suburbs.
Why would they wanna stay in a place where they got burned down/destroyed/looted and police didnt do anything to stop it. They are going to take that insurance money and move to the suburbs. Stores that werent insured will join the poverty line. People really need to start thinking about consequences.

Yeah, actually now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I remember hearing small business owners in Baltimore say they weren't gonna reopen after the riots. All this does is make their shitty community worse, meaning more people turn to crime, meaning the police crack down harder, meaning more people in the community get arrested meaning they hate the police more. Eventually leading to another riot.

I dont blame them, why would they? So that the next time a cop murders a black person your store will be looted/destroyed again?
People really need to think before they act, this will only hurt themselves in the long run. This isnt going to stop cops killing people, this is going to kill your own community.

Once you start burning and looting you lose the right to call yourself a victim.

Where did I blame the victims? You know who the victims are in this situation? George Floyd and his family and loved ones. The cop is a piece of shit that failed on every account and should be jailed for murder. You know who arent victims? People that burn stores and loot stores for personal gain, in the name of a dead man. How great must it be for the family of George Floyd to have their lost ones name forever linked to massive destruction and looting. I bet they like all the videos of people running around with clothes, alcohol and tvs in name of their lost one.

These riots have CREATED more victims, think of all the people without a job now. Think of all the people who now are either jobless in a time of crisis. I dont blame a store for leaving. And I dont call the ones who destroyed it victims.

How many businesses stayed shuttered after that?

And for that matter how are police-citizen relations?

I know Baltimore is in some sort of oversight agreement with the DoJ that a lot of people claim neuters the police's ability to do its job. LA has a similar thing. But without doing any research on it, my counterpoint is: Baltimore news stations NOT reporting a murder is more newsworthy to me than "someone got shot in [insert area here]". Seriously, it's a NIGHTLY report and the city is so far gone they're rapidly topping last year's record.

Things are calm now. Drove past the murder cops home 45 minutes ago and there is only one cop and one lone protestor stationed there.

You can still see black smoke rising from MPLS as you get closer to it.

1. He got fired, he is not a cop.
2. Well yeah, it's quiet there, there's nothing to loot there.

Do you really think most of these rioters give a fuck about who died at this point?

police officers are honestly the most sensitive group ever

this is why it's funny when people talk about peaceful options, criticism etc. these guys would be kicking up a fuss regardless of the manner of criticism/outcry. because they're big babies

People need to stop freaking out about the national guard. They arent sieging anything. Theyre weekend warriors being assigned to a post, with their mission being provided to protect the fire department thats getting pelted with rocks and their trucks damaged. The national guard isnt shit. Id be surprised if even half of them carry a firearm, or a loaded one

"Peacefully demonstrate" is such a weak code for "Protest in a way that we don't have to listen or hear about it and can ignore or arrest you without backlash".

Fuck that, when you make peaceful revolution impossible you will make violent revolution inevitable.
