Would you kindly not cause a ruckus with the riots?

Should he encourage it like Trump? Should he say "Be mad America, take to the streets, burn cars and buildings and rob stores."

He's not wrong

Rioting and smashing up your local buinsesses that had nothing to do with anything, doesn't do shit.

I bet over half the people you see in those riots don't even vote in their local elections and then get angry when douchebags get into authority.

Throwing bricks at windows and beating up random kids doesn't help anyone do anything.

IF your point is "To demonstrate public outcry" then a protest is just as effective

Instead of throwing bricks into small businesses they should be thrown into the statehouse.

Has anyone thought that maybe the looting is an accident? Maybe they meant to pay for the stuff but accidentally looted it instead kinda like how the officer meant to tase the guy but ended up murdering him instead?

What I don't even get is how "Oh it was an accident, the cop didn't MEAN to shoot the kid, they just accidentially shot the kid because they are awful" is considered a defense.

Even if it was by mistake, that's still grotesque and still makes police standards look awful.

No he's quite wrong and he knows it. The fact he looks for any excuse to downplay fucking murder and then says looting isn't acceptable shows exactly where his loyalties lie. Human life matters more than property

What exactly does looting prove? All it does is make people see us inferior.

CE is full of a bunch of emotionless unsympathetic society dodgers that can't even begin to understand compassion for people who have to face struggles they don't have to. They'll never understand the deep hurt behind the reason for the looting. They will just see the surface of it and find those like them that validate them having such a shallow perspective.

This is such bullshit and you know it.

Most people who faced the exact same "Struggles" as the looters don't loot. And you're spitting in their faces.

Meanwhile you can't defend or justify it. All you did was insult people who said looting random businesses is bad, then you ran away.

No being against looting doesn't mean you have no sympathy for, no experience with, nor don't understand/care for the reasons for why people are pissed. And you know it. You're just being childish and close minded.

Small business are getting damaged, yes. But who are they literally indebted to and will actually feel the sting from mass property damage and looting? Banks, real estate companies, insurance companies and landlords i.e. those with money and power who really pull the strings in our society

You guys are just assuming I support it, when all I did was say I understood the emotion behind it. If you can't understand the difference between supporting something and understanding it, we can't really have a reasonable conversation.

Of course it doesn't help everyone. But I'm not gonna act like people are crazy for being emotional about seeing their own people executed on the street weekly.

Edit: Oh,but you showed you do understand the difference. Yet you some reason still decided to take me being compassionate as support. Almost like you just filled in the blanks to paint me as bad as you could

Odds are your business is insured and aside from rebuilding will be just fine. The ones as I already said will actually feel the sting are banks, real estate companies,insurance companies, and landlords.

Because police exist to protect private property under Capitalism only once enough private property is damaged do we see any real consequences for murderous trigger happy cops, to the people in charge the officer's biggest crime was not murdering an innocent person but failing to properly protect private property as is their job and entire point of existence

Lol, do you think the things you listed then band together and fight the police and government?

In reality, they all leave and insurance rates skyrocket. Leaving the community to fend for itself.

Do you seriously believe people with millions and billions of dollars are gonna feel the sting more than regular people?

I literally explained how, yes. Very few small business owners really "own" anything aside from what goes into their business and even then it's no completely theirs til their debt is paid which usually takes decades, so by hitting the people who REALLY own these establishments it sends a a message to those in power in the only language they understand, financial loss

The people looting are selfish opportunistic assholes that don't give a shit about Wright or any other victim of police.

This post is extremely uninformed and seems to be coming from an elementary school level understanding of how this all works.

It doesn't matter if the people have paid off their investments or not. I don't know why you'd even bring that up as if it means anything.

Even then, the banks write off shit like this daily for pennies on the dollar. It doesn't affect them.

That does not let the people who owe the banks off the hook. They get sued and have their income garnished.

You also can't just rebuild, because insurance rates skyrocket after such attacks.

You've simplified the whole thing into hitting the big guys, who aren't affected and easily cut their losses and recover.

I know small business owners don't own their businesses and insurance will pay for everything and the only people hurt by riots and looting are the billionaire oligarch class not the little guys or the community.
