This country would've been burning if the protesters acted as you say. I suggest you inform yourself.
Right i checked out the one in Minneapolis, people were more concerned about being violent to police than anything. one guy threw a bottle at a cop and ran. it seemed like most of them didn't even know why they were protesting. they were just hanging out, smoking, and listening to music.
I'm starting this thread to bring awareness to an issue that has been swept under the rug as of late. Police brutality and corruption. During the protest, hundreds of Americans were beaten, harassed, and falsely charged by our police departments.
There were hundreds of incidents caught on tape that never were investigated. Whether you support the protest or not, the issue of police brutality in this country is one that needs to be addressed.
Intimidation and violence are not ways to combat peaceful protest.
Opinions?
These people were protesting because they want a bigger stronger government and more regulation of private individuals.
What do they expect when government gets more centralized and powerful? The government to be just and honorable? lols.
The quickest and easiest way to end police brutallity is to let the private sector handle law enforcement, as private companies generally don't beat up their customers.

Bigger Stronger goverment? That's a word that doesn't even have meaning anymore IMO.
Things like better income distribution? Better regulation of Wall Street? Lending policy in favor of the public?
Please elaborate.
But regadless, do you suppose everyone gets beat who you don't agree with?

Well if you wanna debate with me I'd do it gladly. And there's nothing wrong with smoking, hanging out, or listening to music.
If you wanna debate the issues, fine. But don't try to paint a movement of Millions with your encounter with probably a handful of people. There were many supporters who didn't even hit the streets.
Is brutality justified in ALL of the other videos since you pointed out 1 example.
They weren't brutal enough...
