It's been this way for a long time. The mainstream media/politicians are always finding some bogeyman to divide and manipulate people. Haven't you noticed how negative the news always is?
I agree!

After doing that for 40 years, to pay my bills, I just feel SO privileged...........

I love all the celebrities telling people to protest/riot, etc while they are safe in their gated communities with millions in the bank.

Even if we take race out of your life experience, in all that time:
Have you ever been arrested for just walking down a street?
Have you been stopped by cops for being in a neighborhood where someone don't think you belong?
Have you even been pulled over and our vehicle searched just because they are looking for drugs?
Have an officer ever stole money from you under civil forfeiture and make you go though the process to prove its yours and not using it for criminal activity?
Have you been asked to prove you are a guest/resident of a luxury hotel/apartment building while using a common space based on your looks alone?
Have anyone ever followed you around a store while you were shopping to make sure you are not stealing?
Have law enforcement ever killed one of your friends or family members for breaking no laws?
Its human nature to feel comfortable around others who look like our own reflection. This is how most communities are created. Maybe your circle prevented similar situation listed above from happening to you in your life everyone looked similar, who knows.
Our experiences in life defines who we are later in life and unless you walk in someone else shoes that went through similar things like listed above you would not understand why so many people are upset.
I've had colleagues who never believed me when I told them certain things happen to me throughout my life and it wasn't until they started hanging out with me more often they started to see it for themselves. In the end they started to be more outraged than I was when these things occur when they were with me and they couldn't understand why I was so calm about these things while its happening. They finally understood it was happening to me for so long im numb to it. Most people are numb to it who grew up in that type of environment.
Let them burn the leftist parts of the city. That’s where they are right now. Who cares? Pull the whole PD back. Not worth even a papercut to protect what democrat voters own.
Dude you need to retire early and move out of NY.
You seem to strongly dislike liberal policies but I hate to state the completely obvious fact that NYC is going to be liberal for the foreseeable future.
I don't like DeBlasio anymore than you do, but you constantly fixate on it being due to liberal idealogies. And the fact remains that you would be happier in North Carolina or Texas than here.
Lol. Our resident communist is awake today. One would think you’d be tired after putting your neck on the line for your ideology last night. Oh wait...
