I don't understand the link to a suspect being killed by Police and a full blown riot that destroys public and private property and in some cases results in other people losing their lives?



Floyds death sure looks like murder from the video evidence so they have a Right to protest but do so peacefully. Tearing up and burning the neighborhood does nothing to help the cause and to stop Police brutality. In fact a violent mob give the appearance that the only way to put an end to it is with even more violence and the cops are on the front line.



Why don't we see the same enraged response when Police kill a suspect that happens to be white?



I think the rioters are looking for an excuse to go crazy and blow off some steam.

Makes one question if mob justice is consistent with any proposed antilynching legislation !!!

It is consistent with anarchy !!! That's a given but how can it be twisted around as something necessary ?

Hope the perps are caught. Tried appropriately and given appropriate LONG prison sentences. Esp the one beating the old lady and the other one using the extinguisher.

They think that destroying their own city makes people want to help them more.

The sad thing is that they already had 99.999999% of the nation on their side in this horrific incident. So all they do is hurt themselves by being such morons.

10 black people were shot to death in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend. Why no riots and acting like animals over them?

It is forced redistribution of material possessions and property. The Progressives think it is "Fair".

Apparently some morons think that stealing and destroying other people's property is justice.
