In the grand tradition of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (btw both white men), Ball-Bey chose "death by cop". And there are close parallels between the Wild West days and modern ghetto thuggie culture. The police officers did nothing wrong. Ball-Bey's suicide is nothing to riot over.

The people who protest police in the death of a black criminal seem part of a paid professional agitator class.

My gut tells me you'd see the same faces repeatedly if anyone cared to look.

I am wholly unaware of any normal/silent majority black Americans caring about dead thugs.

Well, what would one expect? They have a President whose constant braggadocio about his 'pen', about 'just like his son', interference in local events personified by the 'beer summit', even the chutzpah of the rainbow lit White House; all constitute being in the 'man's face'. Face it. That is the truth of the result of an activist being elected to lead our country.

What and where are the positive results of this leadership for the typical African American's life?

But people were not rioting in support of him. They were rioting against police getting in a shootout with him in their neighborhood. If you have read my past posts, I think the whole BLM movement is misguided and doomed to failure and gutting the very neighborhoods they claim to defend. But to say that anyone "rioted" in support of the person shot is wrong.
(Especially considering that most of the "rioting" last night was white anarchists, not black residents.)
So they are rioting because the criminal pulled a gun on cops and they defended themselves. Seems about right. BLM doesnt think police should return fire when a criminal is trying to keep them from going home to their families.

I'd prefer the guy been beaten senseless to being shot while running away. Thieves and criminals should be publicly beaten and only shot if they resist.

Glorification of hood rats and thugs.

Idiots.

George Soros is probably paying them -- indirectly if not directly.

Remember, the goal of America's enemies is the destruction of the country.
You can't simply invade America. . . too many guns.
You can't stand off and shell it. . . ditto, ditto.
But foment unrest, initiate incidents, destroy unity, and then you have a good chance at success.

Ironically, the protesters are aiding their own enemy. Scare away the “goose” laying all those golden eggs, and what’s left to take?
And once the nation is in chaos, they will suffer even worse under the "new management."
