are you sure its not because we're destroying our own citiesif the actions of the few protestors define the entire movement that means you have no problem with me saying all cops are bad cuz they killed george right? 🤔🤔🤔
we straight up living in city 17 soon you'll have the entire united states military chasing after you spraying missiles and an h-bomb falling directly on top of your head solely because youre blacki saw a video of cops raiding homes for people who violated curfew and there was a loving drone flying above and helicopters and stuff
Would private security agencies appointed and funded by their communities be a preferable alternative to police? I remember this being used in South Africa, and I believe it happens currently in Detroit and New York on a low/unofficial level.i'd rather a community-owned/demilitarized police service with a civilian oversight committee or something like that. i mean it would be a good solution if it all boils down to having a committee that doesn't defend the police at all cost as a police union does. like you need the policing force but you also need some other organization that has as much control as the police but with sole purpose of making sure they dont step out of bounds in terms of how the police act.
what did you think was gonna happen?idk but i didnt expect the military to create a FOB out of the LA convention center like if they were occupying Afghanistan
I wonder what June will bringaliens
It was paint rounds is what a news source was saying and there is a slightly longer version of the video where one of the guys in that house got hit with some. It's like green paintballsnicolodeon green slime
This is an important point, and yes I have seen this too and agree with you. I still think it's important to put yourselves in those peoples shoes though. What about the people who've lost jobs because of their business/workplace being destroyed? That's just adding more people to the extremely high unemployment rate.I'm not excusing the looting and burning of businesses and most of the organizations in charge of these protests aren't either. I agree it's unfortunate, but alas this is what happens when you push a community to a certain point where it creates the conditions for opportunists.
Burning down government buildings/police stations is one thing (I don't support this but can understand this more from a protesters standpoint) but destroying your own stuff and your own communities? Seems to me like shooting yourself in the foot. Sure it can be rebuilt, but that costs money - and the government has already spent a megaton towards COVID. And with construction often comes road closures, which is just even more inconvenience. There is a domino effect of consequences here that I don't think are being recognized by some.
I guess the question comes down to this; are the consequences worth it? It depends who you ask, and when you ask it. For all we know the consequences could be very negligible. Hard to say until it's over.
Pepper balls & rubber bullets, depending.i think it was rubber
As of this moment, my position is changed.poggers

This is a violation of the Right to Peaceably Assemble and the right to Freedom of Speech.
stfu handicap i never said I supported it but anyone with a normal functioning brain (unlike you) would probably go inside when a literal military force rolls into my neighborhood yelling "GET INSIDE" the city is quite literally in flames and people are dropping deadhow does literally vibing on your porch perfectly legally give these jingoistic buffons the right to open fire with paintball guns at you.
it's ironic really because you're truly the clown here for not understanding basic human instinct like these brain dead morons on their phones all the time when they should focus on getting to safety or not provoking people to do stupid stuff, but hey man; as they say. you can't argue with a keyboard warrior
