Can’t believe that some are actually condoning looting and violence. Anyone who thinks that the answer to an act of violence is violent retribution, is insane. It’s right out of Trump’s school of thought. What about the vast majority of police officers who aren’t racist, and are now getting attacked?

Violence solves nothing

—————————

Then it begs the question as to why is remains so prevalent in every society, throughout the world.

It also begs the question why Trump, a man in one of the most powerful positions in the world, is calling on violence as a way to end this.

So, how many people voted the Obnoxious orange in last time ? at a guess I would say around 70 million ! think about that !............
and predictions are that he will get roughly the same in the November elections.

That means that their are at least that many 'kin lunatics in the good old US of A...........
I ask you,absolutely huge changes have to be made across the whole of the country,and I can't see it happening any time soon !

A good place to stay away from.

Trump is an idiot of the highest order.

There was a video circulating of a 'muslim migrant' attacking a Dutch boy. Trump used that video to promote or back his ban for people from muslim countries traveling to USA. As it turns out the attacker was born and raised Dutch but looked 'muslim'... Trump is a grade A moron.

The whole thing has shown how utterly inept trump is as president.

Yet the country is so facked he’ll still get loads of votes from his nutjob religious base (sic) support, and idiots.

the sad thing is all these protests are more than likely going to have the complete opposite effect

I think you need to understand why it’s happening terminator, instead of resorting to an empty sound bite of someone condoning violence.

Understanding why it happens and condoning it isn’t the same thing.

because more police are just going to sadly view them as argumentative / confrontational protesters and people looking to fight and loot and steal, and hurt them or their fellow colleagues and it will always be in the back of their minds.

So it's unwittingly going to lead to even more black deaths as a result of the police that should not happen.

It's very annoying as it's the minority of protestors that are nobs and the minority of police that are nobs, but it's just going to bring more anger and emotion out of even some of the majorities on either side

Some poster on another thread yesterday was condoning innocents being killed if they got there way.

On the same thread another poster said local businesses wouldn’t mind getting looted and burned down because they believed in the cause

Utter madness

Maybe you need to change your rhetoric then, because from what I’ve read you’re a long way from condemning it.

Depends what you mean by “something to think about”

The privilege of the vast majority in America is at the expense of the minority of Americans. That’s the problem. The vast majority don’t need to protest.

What the vast majority need to do is listen to the struggles and pain of the minority who are directly affected by what has happened and what continues to happen in that country.

So many people on a high horse. Violence is wrong etc is the only response that seems to be going on.
Try to understand where and why the violence is happening. It’s not good saying violence is bad and it needs to stop. America is first of all a country built on violence.
The pandemic, which has already left 36mill Americans unemployed, coupled with tensions regarding race which are always high as it is when it comes to dealing with police. This is a perfect recipe for something like this to brew. So rather than try and tell the rioters off for looting, try and look deep within yourselves to see what you can do to make sure change happens so we don’t see protest and riots regarding this as often as it does seem to happen.

As for those saying not all police officers are bad etc, in a war do you excuse enemy’s military personnel because they’re good people? This is a war between black American people and the police.

I’m understanding why it is happening.

Completely understanding why.

I don’t need to change anything about my rhetoric.

What an utter mess.

The US is a complete mess. It's really coming to a head now.

The heavy handed police are a disgrace. Probably doesn't help that any nutter can carry a gun so they automatically assume anyone they encounter might shoot them.

They need real change, and they currently have an actual moron leading them inciting more violence. It's a desperate situation.

No it’s true

If a fellow policeman hadn’t needlessly murdered a man over an alleged minor crime, we wouldn’t be having this discussion now

True, if he hadn’t done it, some other copper would’ve the next day to some other poor fella. I don’t think many people are able to understand why riots and looting are taking place other than coming out with how wrong it is.

So if a Muslim gets attacked in Bradford, then would you say they’ve got their fellow Muslim to thank for carrying out an attack in London?
