That is a fight you can not win. Those with nothing to lose are always going to win. Look at the wars in places like Afghanistan.
What did the Asian decedents have to lose, when they were rounded up, all because they looked like the bad guy?
Careful what you wish for... The final solution was some scary sh*t.
Just like the Asian looking citizens that were Americans were rounded up, or die, during WW-II.
It could happen if this crap keep escalating, if it is all about race and blacks are easy identified.
The local police are not who the black communities will be worried about.
There are two extreme options approaching the whitehouse.
The let it ride and it is going to boil over so people are fighting people, over skin color.
Or "round them all up attitude", to eliminate them all, to get the small evil element in it.
Like taking the whole breast, because a little cancer.
I am not advocating this, but it's almost "game on" in this country and I fear we are on the brink of a true race war. It's also why I feel Trump is going to win the election....people are secretly fed up with this sort of media propaganda telling them what they see, experience and feel is different from what they KNOW in their real lives and surrounding them.
When people are polled privately via apps, not on the phone with some snot nosed liberal poll taker on the phone, almost 70% of Americans secretly support Trump's ideas. I truly believe the polls we are seeing right now are an attempt to tell Trump supporters, "why bother to vote, he's going to lose" Hilary and her, "it's my right and my turn to be president" cheating, pathological lying assss, people are fed up. Literally fed up and had enough!! People see what the country is becoming and the media cannot spin it anymore.
Black people HAD two choices in this country. Get their crap together and join with the rest of all races who seem to have no issues with making it, or point fingers and blame everyone else for their ill ways. They have chosen the later and it's now coming full circle. They are out of excuses. So what do they do? Riot, create mayhem, chaos and blame, blame, blame. It does not work anymore. People can SEE what is really going on. The black community needs to rein in it's own, or we are facing violence in this country we have never seen before.
To be fair: the decent Black dudes and ladies ain't the problem here and; I'm quite sure their kind would "love" to have the legal system put the hood rats in their place, by "any means necessary".
Yes we are. It's why we are seeing things burn down. We are afraid to question the police actions because we are cowards. Yes, I can already predict your response and I do not completely disagree with it but so many are willing to cede their freedoms and rights because they are cowards.
I am one of the most vocal critics of the police on this forum, but three things:
1) Not every problem with the police is racially motivated.
2) Not every person they arrest or shoot is some innocent little flower.
3) Clean cops deserve respect.
Also, every time you see these riots there is always a bunch of hood rats standing around shouting stuff like "Free money y'all!"
That is not the work of anger towards an unjust system, but opportunists taking advantage of chaos.

Nothing to lose?
These aren't people in some shanty town in India. These are people with electricity, running water, and iPhones.

Not every black person who is armed gets shot either.

To be fair many of the tribes in Europe were not particular advanced. No more so than many Native American and African tribes.
They did advance greatly when they came into contact with other more advanced civilizations like the Romans, Greek, and Phoenicians (via Carthage). Also, most Asia has been historically backwards as well. Even though China and later Japan was as advanced as the Romans they progressed little until regular contact with Europeans.
The development of the West is something that took centuries and many civilizations exchanging ideas. It was not something that just happened due to the awesomeness of being whitey.

"that no one is above the law." The rioters SHOULD be charged and taken to court.
Those inciting the "protesters" should be charged with "inciting a riot". No one should be above the law.
To be fair, using that standard, OJ Simpson was not guilty.
He was cleared by a jury after all...
But there have been cases were people lied about the cops and where cops have lied about suspects.

The pain might be real, but his reasons for it are BS.
A lot people take something that they have a legitimate reason to be upset about and then blame the wrong people and wrong thing. Have you heard white supremacists talk? A lot of them have some real passion and genuine anger. Now, using your own logic, are they right?

Word is many of the reasons parts of Europe and Asia have done well is cause of "geography".
200 years ago about the ONLY way to travel was by water and; except for Nile River, none of Africa has easy to use rivers. Period. Europe OTOH: there's the Rhine, Danube and many other rivers. England and Japan are surrounded by water so it's pretty easy to get around.

I notice that the part of Africa that had alot of those benefits is South Africa. Temperate climate, one of the few places where natural harbors abound. Cape Town was a mid point for the Dutch between The Netherlands and Indonesia.
Riots have been happening long before the blm movement is a fact that no one can deny.
That's true. But the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, followed by his stepfather inciting a riot, seemed to have resulted in more media coverage of the BLM, a President who throws cops under the bus, concrete blocks thrown onto cars and police from overpasses, chants of "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" and many innocent cops being shot.
There is a small percentage of black people engaged in very bad behavior, just as there is a small percentage of cops who are also engaged in very bad behavior. The response has been extreme and isn't helping their cause.

I completely agree that cops needs to stop protecting one another, and many departments need to have a complete housecleaning.
And Police officers shouldn't get scared and shoot people, but after all the incidents that have taken place, can you blame any of them working in these cities for being scared? Just as black people fear cops when they get stopped, cops working high crime areas aren't in any hurry to get out and get more involved in the community knowing there will be more than one nut job waiting to take them out.
These people in Milwaukee are racist and going after white people in general. This can only result in more people of both races dying because eventually they'll go after the wrong white person who will have no problem shooting them, and this will spark even more outrage and violence.

amen. They liked NYC's Broken Window and stop and frisk policies, as they knew, as law-abiding citizens, they had nothing to fear from LEOs.
Lets see. In Milwaukee, the police stop a stolen car, the suspect runs and points a gun at an officer. He gets killed. Turns out, the suspect was a felon in possession of a stolen gun and he had a long rap sheet. The officer should get a medal.
The riots prove that they need martial law.
