Innocents are a part of the reason why things have gotten so bad. If you see this kind of police brutality and do nothing to change it eventually things get to this point and you become collateral damage. That same collateral damage would have been prevented if everyone stood up for the first person that had excessive force used on them. You can't sit back and do nothing and expect everything to turn out all fine and dandy.
Sure, but it's not like we are talking about people accidentally burned to death inside the police building. We are talking about misdirected rage. Things went from "fuck the police" to "fuck everyone" real fast.

You're right and if more people had said fuck the police sooner things likely wouldn't have gotten this far.

I just think things should be more organized. I believe in people fighting for their rights, but that's a war and a war requires structure and strategy which are lacking in these protests.

When the enemy your fighting has spent decades and decades doing everything they can to divide and conquer it makes it a lot more difficult to organize and strategize. And when you can't organize and strategize effectively and these things still keep happening eventually you reach a boiling point and things will explode.

Yeah I can see what you mean. Inevitability doesn't make it right. Imo it highlights a flaw in the system. But idk, I don't have any answers either.

I obviously would be upset, but I am on the side of the protesters/rioters because the way americans allow themselves to be treated by their police and government baffles me. If my house was burnt down I would be given an insurance payout that would cover the loss of all my property. Losing the irreplaceable things like photo albums and objects with sentimental value would suck, but they are still not more important to me than living in a society where everyone is treated with the respect they deserve and a feeling of safety that should come with knowing the police are there to serve and protect you.

And if the riots weren't already for something you personally believed in, supported or had any real thoughts about? What then?

"If you don't have compassion for others you don't deserve compassion for yourself or from anyone else."
If you don't have compassion for innocent bystanders having their lives and livelihoods ruined (most of which would be POC considering where these riots take place fyi) then you don't compassion in return. Nor will you get any from anyone outside of your extremely limited ideology. If you want everything and everyone to burn because 'they didn't do enough' then you're the one with a shitty world view.

Never said I believe people deserve this either. What I am saying is this is the result of Americans being complacent towards their fellow Americans being stepped on and abused by the police and government for decades and decades. If every single one of the business owners and their families had stepped up and decried the violence and abuse their community members faced on a daily basis things would have changed peacefully instead they sat back and did nothing to help each other now they are facing the consequences of their own inaction. Does it suck, yes. Is it right, not particularly. Is it the final straw to break the camel's back, obviously it is.

Protest can turn into Riots because of one "agent". This could have been peaceful and have been overturned but now this is suddenly "political" and further divides the country down a straight line when just days ago the president and conservatives around the country were calling for this guy's head.

Now we are back to square one as "us for them" and the "us" and "them" are people that need to unite, more than ever, before a totalitarian government and their banker capitalist buddies enact sweeping legislation that will destroy our lives forever.

The cycle of violence has been covered in every culture under the sun and yet we still haven't learned. Violence creates violence.

Unfortunately things don't really change in this world without an overthrow of the status quo. You can keep nicely asking a bunch of highly-armed, picked-on-in-high-school, Napoleon-complex-having fascists to stop oppressing and murdering anyone who didn't give them the proper respect, but that hasn't worked out so well thus far.

Cops have a chip on their shoulder, are overworked, underpaid, and below average intelligence (based on their own policy of not hiring above a certain IQ). They are trained to lie/cheat/steal/manipulate/entrap/intimidate for a living, and society tells them they should go home at night and feel like the good guys. No amount of talk is ever gonna end that.
