Shoot the looters and arsonists. I’m tired of these thugs getting away with tearing up the country. The police were right to shoot this man since he pointed a taser at them....I’m sure we will find out he is a career criminal thug.

Needs to be done tonight
1. Use force to restore order in Atlanta
2. Use the military to retake Seattle neighborhoods from insurgents.

These people need to feel the force of the military. Some blood needs to be spilled to squash this rebellion out. President Trump are you out there? Please do something to stop these animals. We elected a law and order Republican for a reason......restore order now.

Support your local law enforcement today. They are all that separates decent society from the animals.

Well, in fairness to the law abiding citizens, they had every right to complain. There were people at home reporting on social media that they were frightened and not going out. Most of the citizens, even in the roughest of areas, are law-abiding. It's the explosive idiots who have no self-control that go out there and wreak havoc.

It's too bad. If I was Wendy's I would not rebuild on that location again.

This folks is why there is white flight from cities and especially certain parts. I certainly wouldn't live there on a bet nor would I own a business that would be at risk of such crime.

That said, the root cause of Wendy's being burnt isn't the death of 1 person but of an accumulation of dead people. Right or wrong blacks don't trust the police to be fair with them. I know for a fact, not a maybe, not an opinion, that my own son has suffered racist taunts and treatment from local cops. That or the witnesses lied and our own Town cop who confirmed it is also a liar.

It's an accumulative oppression and it didn't start last week. This is an accumulative treatment that has been endured for centuries in one form or another. I don't support what happened to that Wendy's or any other mob violence. I do know that it will continue to happen until we eliminate its root cause.

Yes Cops beat whites, kill whites. That goes without saying. The difference is that whites are not pulled over for driving black. My son has been. I know many blacks who have been. Ask a black man if the police calls him sir when interacting with him. Some will say sometimes. Some might say most of the time. Many will say almost never. I have never not been called sir, by any cop.

It is accumulative and not just by the police.

Say goodbye to a neighborhood if a gas station catches fire.

That's not going to happen. They're bending over backwards to make this look like another wrongful death of an innocent man.

Soon, cops will be told to turn in their guns so nobody gets hurt.

Easy to dismiss. Incapacitate the officer with a taser, take his gun and shoot him. Brooks already attacked the officers and induced bodily harm. The officer feared for his life and was justified to take the appropriate action. In this case, shooting the attacker.

Amen.

Now more cities will look like Newark or the neighborhood of Harlem in lacking meaningful economic opportunity. Both still bear scars from the 1960s riots.

Corps abandon riot zones regularly.

Breaks my heart. NOT.

I went to this Wendy's near Jefferson in Philly, if they burn that one down it will be gift to humanity. I literally took one bite and through it in garbage. If I had just drank a 12 pack and it was 3AM is still would of went in the garbage.

Absolutely - It is a given that a Police Officer is good enough at this stuff not to lose his weapons to a drunk.

If he is not he or she should not be out on patrol.

And even after that the implement the guy appeared to get hold of is not a lethal device - at least according to the Police. So why would the Police respond to it with lethal force?

The right has problem dealing with the absurdity of these situations. They want to have it both ways.

You’re right. I lumped my thoughts sloppily. What I intended to convey is that these savages who are looting and burning are destroying their own communities. I feel very, VERY sorry for the majority of residents, who are law-abiding, and now have no easy access to groceries.
