Trumps fault.

But for serious, what are big cities doing to survive this madness? They do realize people are going to move away in droves, mostly rich folks, because who wants to be a target?

Jeez, you can be anti-police all you want, but:
A young man shot at police, police shot back and hes in the hospital,
Fenceline gossip was saying that the man was unarmed and a child. Photos were released of the weapon, and the man has been confirmed in the hospital age 20. So cooler tempers didnt prevail and people are burning down the city over the police doing their job properly.

Yup. Even the most radical leftists I know are condemning this.

Short-sightedness. Right now people are prioritizing optics because it is an election year, so they're more than willing to let a bunch of businesses burn to the ground to show that they are in support of a major movement even if it means in the long term significant financial damages. Realistically, they will have retired from politics before they would actually have to deal with the repercussions.

according to some people here, the cop is supposed to let the criminal shoot them first before they can begin to defend themselves or other civilians

Nah. I don't believe it. All the protests are peaceful. They've never hurt anyone or looted any buildings. The cops are the only bad guys in this situation. If people were appropriating things like Louis Vuitton bags from stores it was only because they need to feed their kids. These stories about "looting" are just alt right propaganda meant to make BLM look bad. I bet you anything that any actual crimes committed last night were done by white supremacists.

Nothing, maintaining power is their priority and the looters, rioters, and voters are one in the same. And now that the rich can work remotely why put up with any of this crap when they can just move to the suburbs/rural and be done with it?

On the flipside this equates to cheaper housing and rent though in the cheaper. Which helps the poor.

It's not my fault the system is racist and whenever protests happen the media tries to make it look like "rioting" when we all know the only violent people in Chicago are the pigs.

It's almost like when you go around setting up a bunch a powder kegs then occasionally an accidental spark is going to cause an out-sized reaction.

People are happy to point out how they exploded over wrong information, but no one wants to talk about why they would be so ready to accept that wrong information or why they would be so ready to boil over and tear down the city around them.

That's sort of my point. We've actually reached a point where it's not obvious if my post is sarcasm or not because arguments like the ones I used are argued seriously all the time. We've actually got people like this out there:

That's not some Twitter nutcase or a GameFAQs troll. That's a Portland mayor candidate that actually has considerable support. What a fucking farce this whole thing has become.

Tweet says looters are streaming themselves

https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1292854486726332417?s=20

They looted the stores west side. They looted convenience stores. They looted where ordinary people shop.

* * *

Yes. Protest the shooting. I mean all the police involved say that they were not wearing body cams. * Disbelief * Moreover the protest is also over the fact that police are not supposed to give chase.

If I was arrested after a looting event, I would want those protesting my arrest to be saying that I was arrested unfairly. When they swagger and say looters are justified, they are basically casting aspersions on the arrestees and not helping them.

I've noticed the price of rent and home property values dropping. Personally, I'm all for it since rent has been far too high and home ownership near impossible.

It may bring in people if the economy ever turns up, which will be gradual and not any time soon.

Big police problem is that Fraternal Order of Police is not transparent to rank and file cops. Their president is openly fighting the mayor. The Magnificent Mile looting made CPD look bad but it does not make prez of fraternal order look bad. I believe prez of Fraternal Order of Police is sabotaging the mayor.

I think she can win with the support of the governor and the national guard.

****************

It is really hard to get groceries, (electronics) cables and glue if you live on the west side. Stores that are not looted out are shopped out. The looters hit West Garfield Park among other places.
