FYI Brooklyn Center is a suburb of Minneapolis

Looters should go to prison. Theres no excuse for that.

Maybe police should stop killing black men

Watch these punkasses cry when businesses start to shutter and leave Brooklin as well. The people who actually live there that are doing this are fucking idiots as they are only ruining their own community.

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.

If only it really was this simple. You obviously have a point, but I'm going to wait for bodycam footage before defend or damn either side, because Brooklyn isn't exactly a good place to live.

there is zero justification for killing an un armed man during a traffic stop

If this is directed towards me, that's not my reaction to the shooting, that's my reaction to the senseless looting and crime. Would be curious to see your reaction if this shit went down in your neck of the woods and a bunch of thugs came and started destroying and looting your business or home, acting as if they are justified because someone got shot.

You break the law you go to prison. Sorry that's how the world works. There are other, less illegal, ways to protest this that doesnt screw over someone elses hard earned business.

have you noticed the pattern these events follow?

1. police kill unarmed black man again
2. people riot

it could also be

1. police dont kill unarmed black man
2. people dont riot

but for some reason you seem to be arguing for

1. police kill unarmed black man again
2. people dont riot

so what the fuck is wrong with you?

Whatever just keep holdin' that shit, because I'm not changing my tune to support thugs regardless of what you say.

As long as they don't target the small businesses I say go and loot all you want. I'm not gonna shed a tear for the little caesars getting looted. Let it burn.

No it's not. Police murder unarmed black people and get away with it over and over again. The riots are justified.

Holy shit...did Duncan actually get one right?

Yes Duncan, you're right. Looters should go to prison. They shouldn't be executed in the street, everyone deserves a trial

Jesus fuck MN cops are just ridiculous, im so glad I left there last Oct. I'm white AF, clean record, and I have seen firsthand how trigger happy they are. I had to call 911 for my alcoholic friend who wasn't breathing well at all and they sent 3 fucking goons who immediately started searching my house (I put a stop to that) and barking orders with their hands on their guns at a dying man on a couch. Thank fuck I had the foresight to lock our dogs up upstairs

oh now we're using the t-word. getting less and less subtle as we go on.

sure is strange how your so mad at looters, but the cop who killed a man during a traffic stop is i "i need to see the footage"

now i'm done feeding the troll.

Conservatives don't care about dead bodies murdered by the state (that are black), they just care when wage exploitation centers get destroyed

Yes, in a perfect justified world the officer who commits murder would also go to prison, since murder is a crime. That doesnt mean you get a pass to also commit crimes as well. You still need to follow within the context of the rules set to keep society working safely and peacefully. If citizens were allowed to break laws just because something happened that made them angry it would create anarchy.

Rioters and looters are thugs, regardless of what race and ethnicity they are. By all means, keeping reaching though.... keep reaching, homie.

"Looting is equally as bad as murder"

I did address the killing and said he should go to jail.

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? Let me guess, it's because malls are easy targets for you guys and there's potential to get something you want at the end of the day. _

It's a lot easier to get shot that way I would think.

Many of them did target police stations though. But only takes one or two people to want to target places out of opportunity to direct the "mob" with them. Crowds of people, once big enough, will just go where the rest are.

Looters suck, but it feels like looting almost kinda has to happen for police brutality to get any national attention. Would we be hearing about this at all otherwise if no looting happened?

Looting is the incorrect response to this situation.

I mean, it's really the only response that gets attention though. If you're not effecting someone's bottom line, damages wise, no one is gonna listen. People have been doing the "correct" response for decades without being heard.

So if it takes a few targets getting torched, so be it. :v

QFT. Greedy ass thugs don't really want justice or change for the better. They just want a excuse to go commit crimes and profit off of someone else's death.

Umm I hope you guys don't think this is Brooklyn NY. It's a smaller city called Brooklyn Park in MN.

Someone give the Looters nukes so Duncan shuts up about them.

That is a very real possibly as I'm sure some of the looters live outside of the communities they target. Regardless when people show up en masse and do stuff like this I doubt all of them are just people passing through, so the fault also falls upon some of the locals.

What the heck? He made the topic I'm responding to it.

its always funny to me when people are more upset with some broken windows than they are government officials paid via tax dollars murdering people in the streets for simple traffic stops.

And no, i'm, not condoning looting, but why is the narrative about the looting more so than what led to it? Priorities are fucked.

My thought on it is that if you want to protest the police, you make trouble for the police. That's how you force them to pay attention. It's not like you can boycott them like a business

Ok but like i said, the bigger issue is the cops killing people. Its just funny to me how people are making the looting the bigger issue. Start at the source.

Nah. People of any ethnicity who act like and do thuggish things are thugs. Plain and simple.
