But this misses the point. This sentiment, experts previously told me, underplays the real anger behind riots and urban uprisings. "People participate in this type of event for a real reason," Darnell Hunt, a UCLA professor who's studied the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles, said. "It's not just people taking advantage. It's not just anger and frustration at the immediate or proximate cause. It's always some underlying issues."
Rioting and looting are never the right answer to demand justice when reacting to an egregious event. What I never understood is many riots target the very community where the rioters live, and what positive outcome will there be when businesses are damaged, destroyed and looted?
Black hate on full display.
Have you ever wondered what the impact would be on your psychology and resultant behavioral change after 20 years exposed to gratuitous violence and physical threats to your life on a daily basis? The job changes people and there isn’t adequate screening or help provided to ensure continuous mental fitness for it.
Interesting point.
Being crazy doesn't excuse killing someone, but the city should review everything that led to this event and see what can be learned.
Their mayor is quick and glad to race bait. It helps distract enough of the mindedness idiots who put him in office that he doesn't need to deal with the real issues of properly funding and supporting his city's institutions or take any accountability himself for any of the possible circumstances that facilitated this tragedy.
Just another day in Trump Fan Nation.

Interesting how the Mayor of Minneapolis is a Democrat but this is Trump's fault! Doesn't the Trump hatred have any end?
Giving up on your lying fest and over here to tinkle in your panties about your crush Trump?
I was talking about the original poster, and responding to someone's post about the OP. Do you even have 4 working brain cells to follow along?
Nobody said this was Trump's fault. Take your pair of Trump's dirty tighty whities and get back into your corner to chew on them some more.

But is the Mayor of Minneapolis on top of what's going on in his city and its police department? Or has he been snoozing?
Your comments were
Why was Trump mentioned?
You are confused.
Why do you post stupid things?
The OP is a citizen of Trump Fan Nation, like you. I realize that you don't know what that means, but get someone else to explain it to you. I'm not here to educate the hopeless.
How often does justice result in a simple acquittal of officers? That isn't justice.
You are right, I have no idea what it means or why Trump is even mentioned in a thread about Minneapolis and racial violence even though posters in this forum have made that claim that Trump is responsible. Before educating the hopeless work on your own individual problems. You are posting in a public forum be a big enough person to take the criticism and accept the reality that economic results aren't something you understand nor apparently are the racial issues in Minneapolis a city with Democratic Leadership
I wonder what the reaction would have been if they protestors rocked up armed with semi automatic weapons, were wearing masks and body armour?
According to police, a looter was shot by a business owner.

The rioting and looting doesn't make any sense. The incident has been condemned by all, four officers present (not just Chauvin) were fired, and the case was referred up for prosecution and to the FBI for review for civil rights violations. This isn't even a questionable case, and there's been no effort to 'sweep it under the rug'. All the rioting does is put people at risk and make the city look bad.
