What message are they sending by destroying their own neighborhood?? I'm not seeing it nor do I understand what the purpose is.

This is something I never understood. I understand them being upset. I understand protests but why trash your neighborhood?

Probably because they dont feel safe in their own neighborhood and don't really own anything in it.

I don't think Tanks would be that effective in a public order situation to be perfectly honest.

As for looting shops and destroying the property of innocent hard working people, it serves no purpose and is just blatant criminality.

The shooting of the unarmed man Mike Brown by police needs to be properly investigated and there needs to be an Independent Body to investigate the police in the US rather than the police investigating themselves.

Execution style is a single round to the back of the head at close range to a downed person.. This is a classic case of how LE is trained to shoot these days. Frenzied pumping of bullets from hi cap weapons until the adrenaline slows down.

Rioting thugs attempting to harm people or damage private property need to be put down, either by the police or by legally armed citizens. They don't give a rat's @#$ about the slain young man, its only about mayhem and violence for them.
That said I hope they fully resolve this case. But this is what you'll have in a police state, so maybe some of these idiots need to rethink their support of an all powerful government or their opposition to the second amendment and other freedoms.

How could a shooting of a unarmed guy by a cop possibly be said to have "prompted" the looting of a tire store and beauty supply store? Talk about your non sequiturs.
