Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Protesting is important. Destruction and looting are counterproductive, and do absolutely nothing to advance your cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I live ten minutes from where he was murdered. It was very strange here for a while, but nothing continues to be done after innocent black person after innocent black person is violently murdered. My heart just breaks. Please, please speak up. Silence is complicity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,827 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Let’s forget, for a ****ing moment, about materialism and a multimillion dollar company’s profits. This racial injustice and police brutality cannot continue in America. The murderer must go to jail for the life that he took. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t continue this is a moment in history these riots We had Central Park Karen a few days ago now this it keeps happening it can’t keep happening. Abolish all prisons public and private the slave machine it is. America is ****ed.

high heeled fem 3 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Also: Im not American but I live here, when you see the police with a POC doesn’t matter If its one person or a group, you stand there you witness. Have we forgotten about the psychotic cop who shot a older black gentleman for no bike light and was screaming “mother ****er I’m gonna shoot you”. This country is so crook I can’t stand it.

Criminals have used protests to steal since the beginning of time, let’s make it click please. the target was openly supporting the Minneapolis police and was refusing service to protesters yesterday who were attempting to purchase milk (which is used if you get maced in the eye to wash the mace out). So they looted. I hope I'm not coming off as harsh, but this is not "criminals controlling the conversation". Theft doesn't hurt anyone directly, or it's lessened when it's just companies losing inventory. Sure it's not great, but whats worse? stealing from a corporation that can easily replace merchandise and afford the repair costs to ONE Target location being destroyed, or hundreds of unarmed, innocent black people being murdered by police and correctional officers each month in not only America, but worldwide. Just put that into perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's so worried about the morality of looting or destroying/stealing property from a corporation, when they should be more appalled by a system that benefits off of killing innocent civilians disproportionately based on their race.

Exactly!!!! I mean I don't want a local independent essential business targeted but they aren't they are doing big corporations. This is history in the making The list is endless ... They SHOT a POC a hour away from me and crashed a family BBQ the victim was holding a CELL PHONE they thought was a gun. Give me a break Who's gonna call 9-1-1 When they can't tell a wallet from a mother****ing gun? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
