These are OUR cities, we live there too! Why on Earth are Democrat politicians forbidding their police from restoring order? Banning the cops from arresting the people doing the burning and looting? Telling their own police to STAND DOWN when the thugs are destroying stores, building, statues, courthouses? Breaking down gates, pouring into private property, threatening to kill the homeowners... and then taking away the guns of the ones who call the cops, get no response, and so defend themselves?
Democrats, is this what you want?
This is INSANITY. And it's been continuing unabated for what, nearly 55 days?
So personally solve the problem by moving out of the big cities. There's far, far too many people there incredibly unhappy and riotous over living such profoundly miserable and hate filled lives, while wanting to get back at society for it. At least life is quite peaceful in the town I live in. The new requirement to wear masks is the biggest controversy, but people aren't so miserable from it that they are rioting over it.

Yup, that's one "solution": running away. These cities used to be pretty nice.
Maybe all the decent people should leave the cities.
But we worked hard to build them up, maintain them etc. And that's because we needed them to live better, do business, etc. Why do WE have to leave? Wouldn't it be better if the people rioting, burning etc. left instead? Or at the very least, quit destroying what doesn't belong to them?
Don't we have police to make sure of that? Why are the cops in Democrat cities being ordered not to do that? Very few arrests, and when thugs are arrested, they get let out without bail, often the same day, to go right back to rioting? Is that what our city and state governments are for?
When are the Democrats going to stop this madness in the cities they run?
people peacefully protest against police brutality. The police respond with *more* brutality. People riot. How does this surprise anyone? If the police listened from the start, and didn't respond to peaceful protesters with excessive force, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Yeah peaceful people always bring bricks, lasers and spray paint to protests. Police are not being brutal enough.

You claimed to be moderate in another post, but you are approaching this from the most far-left (mis)interpretation of reality. In fact, rioters, arsonists, and looters ravaged our cities (yup, that’s peaceful all right) while police were instructed to stand, be “lenient,” and even abandon a police station and other buildings under attack.
Leftists have turned the police “into the enemy” (Biden even claimed it) while making excuses, coddling, and outright siding with the violent, criminal thugs destroying our cities.
No negotiating with terrorists. All you’re doing is encouraging more of the same despicable behavior.
And where will it stop? Let’s even say that whites cough up money for people who were never slaves, and thus....for the time being.....the thugs retreat. But then the next year? Hey, let’s get more money from the “oppressors.” And then they’ll start burning down buildings again until the whites pay up.
Nope, sorry. There’s nothing to negotiate.
