StarstruckIllusion 53,580 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Lemme just say that lets not let looters control the conversation around BLM AGAIN. Criminals have used protests to steal since the beginning of time, let’s make it click please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 46,738 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I hate when people take advantage of moments like these to LOOT. That said I am BEYOND happy with those protesting and even causing a bit of chaos! The government needs to do something! society needs to be shaken up a bit before real change ever occures! nothing changes in comfort! keep rioting for justice! I am very proud Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMILE2NE1 3,566 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looters kind of steal the limelight and discredit the protests (even though that shouldn't be the way it works). Sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,896 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looting is just a sidecar that people will use to discredit the legitimate disgust and frustrations that his murder has caused. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miel 15,009 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Bypassing the looting narrative, let's talk about how heavily militarized police force was used against protesters, when there was no such force used during those "liberty protests" that took place inside government buildings not even a month ago. Let's talk about that. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miel 15,009 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Police brutality against People of Color, especially Black people, has always been heightened. But the horrific back-to-back publicized cases these last few weeks have gotten me, and so many other people, highly emotional and reactive. The scariest part is that these videos could have easily not existed. People are mad, and they should be. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's talk about that. This. I would also like people to know that a black man was killed by police in Indianapolis two weeks ago. The protests were small in comparison to this, there was no looting or violence, and yet the cops still used violence and pepper spray bullets on the protestors. I have no idea why it didn't make national news. I had friends there. My name isn't Timmers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
