Well, I'll put it this way. I am not saying rioting is ever a good idea. I'll just say this. Rioting has been getting the attention of alot of people.

Violence is the weapon of the ignorant but it sure has gotten everyones attention so what is going to make them stop especially when the Democrats are approving of their "patriotism"? It is going to be a long hot Summer.
It might be a weapon of the ignorant, and I'm not endorsing it. However, there is one thing that is evident: It's getting alot of people's attention.

And there has been more taking place.

Riot in Richmond,VA

Now?

You are aware they are responsible for 53% of ALL murder in the USA... 69% of ALL violent crime and 72% of ALL robbery/burglary/theft.
They ONLY make roughly 13% of the US population.

I'd be profiling black communities in a heartbeat over those stats, if I really wanted to decrease crime.
But that is racist.

Crime stats aren't going to matter to those targeted by the profiling. No one likes being profiled. Those who are obeying the law are going to be angry. Those who break laws aren't going to care because they don't listen to authority anyway.

This isn’t thr fault of current white folks. But I think it needs to be acknowledged that you discriminate for generations it has an effect on generations that come after.
Blacks in the U.S. have it made. Spoiled and pampered there’s nowhere they’d rather be to match he perks they get here. They need to take responsibility for their own failures, violent crime rates, etc.

Not the kind of attention you want.

I'm not looking for any attention. I was talking about the rioters. And given the mentality of the rioters, I don't think they care what kind of attention it is.

Odd... I've never committed murder, a violent crime, or a robbery. Why am I getting profiled?

And if we're talking rates, men commit an even bigger share of all those crimes... So why aren't we targeting men for random stops & searches?

And an even better question is this. Why should you or me be willing to put up with being targeted and stopped if such a policy were to be implemented nationwide? I have to ask because Trump is in favor of that.

It's so weird how some people think WE should just accept our rights being infringed on for no reason...
