Cnn reported this as police brutality.
My brother in-law is a firefighter, trust me they won't go into an area where they can be attacked or have their equipment vandalized. They don't get paid enough for that BS.

Same goes for the paramedics.

What are they protesting? Rayshard Brooks resisted arrest and tased a police officer. Who tases a police officer and doesn't get shot?

Rayshard Brooks is no George Floyd. The APD officer had a right to defend himself.

I think maybe it's because an employee called 5-0 on the guy.

I mean, that's no justification to set a building on fire but we are dealing with folks that have the emotional control of a petulant 4-year-old.

it will be like a movie if the gas station next to Wendys catches on fire.. There will be a huge explosion.


Just like in an action movie, but this is for real.

This is the new norm and will continue to be the norm until we come up with some strategy to deal with the dysfunctional kids and young adults who are perpetrated this kind of violence.

Get woke, fool.
LOL! Wish I could rep you again, but you know....

Someone on CNN kind of just said the same thing - that these are important events in order for change to happen.

Of course change will mean businesses won't open in areas with black people, but they're not thinking that far out.

Yeah, I got bad news for the SJWs on this one - Tennessee vs Garner (1985).

Facts don't matter. Looters see this as an opportunity.

I expect tons of tvs to be stolen for Rayshard, of course, in days to come.
