Of course voting works.
All you need to do is get a cabal of people who think the same way, elect a leader, get your voters out.
Exactly like the well organised party on the right does.
They rioted and looted with a black president and got nowhere so they sure as shat won't get anywhere now with a racist one
Anyone here acknowledge that it hasn't just been black people rioting? In fact, some alt right individuals and some police officer / people affiliated with the police have infiltrated the protests and instigated violence precisely to undermine the protests.

Minnesota is a blue state, 12 of Minneapolis' 13 councillors are Democrats and there were also riots when Obama was in office.

Well how could they under such circumstances? But the fact that these infiltrations are coming to light (and the hopes associated with them) may change that. If not, it may at least change some perceptions.

This happens so frequently in America, it’s just only a select few get this kind of publicity that sparks protests etc.
This is the culmination of hundreds of these kind of situations occurring in the past 10/20 years in America. There have been peaceful protests, there have been riots, there have been black people with influence trying to shed light on it to influence change; see Colin Kaepernick taking a knee for this exact issue, or Lebron James speaking out countless times about the oppression black people still face.
They’re told they’re unpatriotic, or to “shut up and play sport” like they should.
So now we’re here, the blind rage caused by decades of this kind of thing happening, with no one in any kind of power (democrat or republican) bothering to address the issue. Instead there is a system allowing someone such as this particular police officer have 18 counts of police brutality complaints laid against him, ranging from killing an unarmed 21 year old black man in 2008, to killing an unarmed Latino man in 2012 and everything in between with nothing being done about it, to get to this point.
So now people are rioting and protesting like i haven’t seen in my life, it feels a little like civil war. You have the police using force i haven’t seen including running protestors over in cars, trampling them with horses, shooting them with rubber bullets for filming the officers, planting undercover cops to damage buildings so they can come in and use force to break up the protests. In my fiancé’s hometown of Portland last night the protestors laid peacefully down on the ground with their hands behind their backs like George Floyd was, and the police responded by bombing them with tear gas.
This has been a long time coming, i don’t think anyone can condone the violence nor the looting, but i can certainly understand how it can happen when all other forms of getting their message across has fallen on deaf ears.

Wanted to highlight this but your whole comment is spot on. Some people are not aware of such history and are opining from a position of unawareness.
His was this guy allowed to kill three people without consequence?
Have you read about what happened with the Ahmaud case? Two District Attorneys resigned from the case instead of filing charges. You should read the excuses they made. Its a facking joke. They arrested after then after it blew up.
Try and watch Innocent Files and you will get more info about how it works and the power that these cops and prosecutors have. One of them hid call records from a phone company so that a black dude endedn up spending 10 years on deathrow. Ten years knowing they could come for you at any time for a crime you didn't commit. Meanwhile the guy is sitting in his office with evidence that would exonerate an innocent man in his drawer. To him its just another conviction on his resume.
Change is needed now!
If you need to burn down your own district to get 4 convictions I don't see how anyone gains from the riots tbh.
I saw protestors shielding a lone police officer from violence so I have no doubts there are people conducting themselves correctly but it seems the younger demographic just enjoyed a reason to riot and snap chat it.
The worst thing that can happen is people think the riots have changed things or had an effect. Next time a rogue cop goes mental and kills an innocent, people will jump back to torching their own streets and neighbourhoods.
How people can call that a victory I don't know. Just an excuse for the far right to neglect minorities even more, whilst refusing to regenerate the destroyed areas.
There are bad cops black and white, and bad people that are black and white. Always will be. We just need tighter rules in place to ensure these people cannot abuse the power position's such as police officer give them.
I can't help but think much of what I've seen will just fuel racist black people/ racist white people with hatred when they put their spin on it.
This riot hasn't and won't draw a line under things despite what some posters suggest. That's what I find sad as history just keeps repeating itself.
I didn't expect you to answer my question anyway. Stay safe ✌
.....
Amongst all the crap I honestly didn’t see it.
If I have time today I will try to give you an answer.
Firstly for context you need to understand Trumps comments on the Central Park 5 at the time of the trial and when they were finally released from jail for a crime they didn’t commit.
Also look up Rev Al Sharpton and who he is and what he represents.
Once you know those bits I can give you a fair answer.

I honestly don't think k this will happen. Of course I don't support rioting but they won't allow reforms that can protect targeted people.
They refuse to implement deterrents that would make law enforcement officers think twice about their actions, allowing careless and 'above the law' conduct to fester. You do that and obviously at some point things were always going to come to a head.
If they won't implement legal deterrents then at least these officers will have to think about the absolute mayhem that will be a direct consequence of their actions.
You won't implement deterrents? Well there's your deterrent. The riots are despicable but the warning signs have been there and been ignored for many years. I don't advocate for rioting, just rationalising the situation and why people have acted like this.

Firstly then in answer to your question which was slightly loaded I can not quantify my comment because it is an opinion based on news I have seen and conversations I have had with Trump voters and what my Mrs sees from her workers on twatbook.
I think that is why you concluded I wouldn’t answer.
Now on to the issues my comments relate to.
When the first videos of the crime by the police were showed on TV this got condemnation from people I know that previously would have said nothing. And I believe that this applied in general to the white population in the USA.
The issue is that these cretins are easily led and racist by nature although most of them won’t admit it (I refuse to play golf with one of them) and listen to everything Trump says or reads, if they can, every thing he tweets.
Trumps answer to the Central Park 5 once they were released from jail for a crime they did not commit was that they were guilty of something. This is what the USA is dealing. A President with no empathy what so ever as doesn’t even try to hide his racism.
The riots and whether you view them as just or not is irrelevant in the way that it plays directly into Trumps hands and the rhetoric he spouts about immigrants. And he views black people as immigrants.
What has Rev Al Sharpton got to do with this. He pretty much repeated my hogwash on the news this morning as did the Mayors of Atlanta, Washington DC and some rapper called Killer Mike.

What total crap. It would be abnormal for there to be no riots?!?! You have it in your head that a majority of these protests have something to do with racism when all they are is a chance to create political unrest.
