Agreed. However a white man did hold down a black man and killed him.

Hard to believe it could be destroyed by a bad cop and an ignorant mob. Maybe freedom doesn't work for humans, maybe we just need more authority.

This? Aint working.

That has nothing to do with people burning down their own city. 99.99999% of people have already condemned those police officers. The process has already started to hold them accountable. They will see jail time. There is no RATIONAL reason to burn your own city to the ground, but then again, those morons are not rational.

These fools are destroying their own communities. If they think that little of their own community, simply let them live with it. Never rebuild again. Do not repair the damage. When they run the police out of town, the police should never return again.

Let these degenerates sit in their own filth. They made their bed, them them lay in it. Let them have the type of horrid living they like to create.

He sure did. And many more black men have killed other black men. No city burning over that. And as another thread stated, cops have killed over 400 white men last year. No city burning over that.

More authority hasn't worked either. More people will lash out.

When Black people kill other Black people, they do life in prison. Cops often get off. Civilians who commit murder do not.

And this is the thing. I can leave a bad neighborhood and never deal with thugs again. I will encounter police everywhere I go, and the police are sworn to serve and protect. People expect better from police officers. When an officer abuses his/her authority to the point of murder, and then gets off, this is a problem.

Race aside...

A uniformed cop represents more than himself when he takes the life of another.

Murder between civilians is one thing, Murder committed by a police officer is a completely different matter.



I don't condom rioting and violence but I understand (very personally) the reasoning/cause behind it. It is when a community doesn't have a voice and is desperate to be heard. Plenty of white groups rioting in other countries... it isn't because they are white/black/whatever. It is because just like black communities in our country, they too don't have a voice and are desperate to be heard.

Those cops are bad cops. They will spend time in jail. Everyone know that. There is a process to go through to convict them with the most aggressive charges possible. They will not be getting away with anything. Looting, rioting and burning down your own city does absolutely nothing to convict those cops faster or better. It just destroys your own city, cost tax payers (your neighbors) more and shows the world just how much of a moronic, loser, degenerate idiots they are.

I'm okay with increased police training.



Another solution:
Don't break the law. If you don't break the law, you won't get arrested.
