Sigh..So how long have you been protesting 'police brutality' ? Years? Or did you possibly just start last year as part of the 'fad'?
what is this 'they gonna break stuff' ? This sounds like some sort of street smack talk. Are you saying you agree with violence, destruction of private property and the loss of life?
You previously posted this:
But in your post #171 you sound like you were nothing more than a part of the violence like all the others.
So were all these people protesting 'police brutality' as well? Since when have 'Moms', 'accountants' etc. EVER been victims of 'police brutality' ?
63 years and never once even came close to experiencing police brutality. But then again, maybe ima unicorn with sparkles and rainbows shooting outmybuttSigh..
people take to the streets when they reaching a breaking point. The fact that literally none of the protestors protesting had been protesting prior to that br point doesnt invalidate the protest.
damage: i did no damage, but after being shot (LL), clubbed, gassed, beaten and arrested for peaceful protest for weeks and months, i understand why some people were angry enough to break out Apple and Wells Fargo windows.
they were protesting police brutality - no one has to be a victim of police brutality to protest police brutality, but its funny you bring this up because all of those people i listed quickly became victims of police brutality once they took to the streets to protest police brutality.
You wanna try that all one more time, this time with out all the BullSh!t!exceptionally well, yea... way beyond anyones expectations, anyway. we brought about actual concessions and reforms in a time span not seen since the civil rights movement. locally, nationally, and even globally. portland police changed their use of force policy, dumped a slew of bubblegumty officers, municipalities all across the country cut militarization funding and even general funding for police departments, committed to retraining, cities committed to redirecting resources and funding to community investment, etc, etc, etc. and not least of all, brought the spotlight on the piss poor behavior of cops everywhere, changed the standard from assuming "well they just know what they're doing" to "wait a minute, something isn't right..." local, national, and global scrutiny is really all i think anyone could hope for - but we got a hell of a lot more than that.
it was a fantastic demonstration of what "demonstration" can actually do, and just exactly how pissed off and indignant a huge segment of the population really is. they tried to suppress us in the beginning, but it only served to shine the spotlight on their bubblegumed up tactics - using impact weapons and excessive force against LITERALLY peaceful protesters - teachers, moms, accountants, college students, bus drivers, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. from the beginning of the protests to the end, the difference was easily observable - the first night, i was shot with multiple rubber bullets and pepper balls for LITERALLY doing nothing more than standing on a street corner (4th n salmon, IIRC) with my hands up, shoved and struck with batons, overrun and trampled over, gassed, detained (yet never arrested, unlike most of the POC around me - being a white middle class male ABSOLUTELY benefits one), etc, etc... to toward the end of my involvement, police no longer using violence against peaceful protesters; simply setting up protest areas and not initiating violence until we gave them at least SOME kind of provocation - which yes, absolutely happened toward the end of every night... get tens of thousands of people angry enough to take to the streets, put the hammer on them for months, and see what happens. they gonna break stuff.
yea, worked.
So, being angry at the police means destroying private property that's completely unrelated to the police? And that's ok?Sigh..

Just say it - George Floyd is what they (and you ) were protesting right?they were protesting police brutality
You do ? Well then PLEASE explain how you 'understand' why some people were angry and WHAT they were angry over.i understand why some people were angry
You don't get to attack people and then claim self defense when they shoot you.If he were not armed, and especially if he hadnt been playing operator, he wouldnt have been attacked to begin with.
those he shot were also acting in self defense or defense of others.
throw all the false dichotomies at me you want.So, being angry at the police means destroying private property that's completely unrelated to the police? And that's ok?
"Just say it?" Wtf is that supposed to mean? George floyd kicked it off - but it was just the most recent egregious display of police bullbubblegum that got everyone and myself pissed off. You say that like its some shady thing or a secret or something?Just say it - George Floyd is what they (and you ) were protesting right?
You do ? Well then PLEASE explain how you 'understand' why some people were angry and WHAT they were angry over.
AND if it was just 'Some' that were angry what were the others protesting ?
Just asking for clarification about your statement of how you understand why people, being angry at police, are destroying private property. How is that understandable?throw all the false dichotomies at me you want.

i was protesting.
keep it going.. we can do this all day.
You've never studied anything related to a population unhappy with their government? You dont know how that works? When peoples' grievances are ignored, they tend to break bubblegum to get noticed.Just asking for clarification about your statement of how you understand why people, being angry at police, are destroying private property.

sooooper simple.
Its just bubbleguming reality, dawg.That's ok?
Just like "boys will be boys"?Its just bubbleguming reality, dawg.
George Floyd was a Bubblegum Bubblegum that made his bed and now sleeps ( Forever ) in it! He completely OWNS it, his death is 100% on his shoulders, NOT the cops! He was a dead man walking, didn't matter if it was the cops or Mother Teresa there, he O.D'd and died because he was a worthless P.O.S. Bubblegum! Defending a known repeat felon is pretty classy, it's the new Woke thing I guess, instead of owning up to what YOU do, you blame the cops for busing you for doing crimes, Got It!throw all the false dichotomies at me you want.

What?Just like "boys will be boys"?
Floyd was a POS whose seemingly biggest contribution to society was, in his death, helping a few BLM leaders to grift millions of dollars in donations from corporations and a misguided public. Furthermore, the resulting reduction in police budgets around the nation for "feel good" public optics by feckless politicians has already lead to significant increases in crime and made communities less safe.throw all the false dichotomies at me you want.
