Chaos In Minneapolis: Looting Occurring In the City, Tear Gas Being Used

ped said:
The rioting in Mpls shows the massive number of lumpenproletarians (underclass) that exists in that city, and in the nation. Burning down businesses and destroying the autos of persons who had and have nothing to do with police, or with the criminal acts of some police, is not a 'protest against the police'. Instead, it is evidence of the vicious and destructive mindset of the vast criminal underclass that exists in America.

It has everything to do with the police and sense that no matter what they do they won't be punished. The "riot" last night followed the announcement that there might be some mitigating circumstances surrounding the murder, by the police, of a black man. Of course, there are no mitigating circumstances.
 
they need to release the bodycam footage of the entire thing....from the moment the cops pulled up, till he was pronounced dead

then we, as a nation, can determine if they were circumstances that we are missing

i dont think there are....but i am willing to keep an open mind until the evidence is in

what i have seen tells me the one cop is guilty as hell of manslaughter,and that the other cops who "just looked on" should be charged as accessories

but "maybe" i am missing something important....so SHOW ME

That's the wife beater logic: if she would just behave, I wouldn't have to beat her.

Actually, I love watching all you Leftists condone insurrection and terrorism.

That is nonsense, in the case of the wife she did nothing wrong, the police officer did something wrong.

It is hilarious to see all you right wingers try and divert the attention from the real problem, systemic racism in the police.

This is on topic but not really relevant, it's just funny (not ha ha funny). I was listening to NPR and they were talking about the Tobacco and Vape shop that's like within walking distance of my house and they were getting looted and he fired a shotgun in the air. The reporter was like "I think he knows who I am so I'm not too concerned." The guy that owns that store knows absolutely nothing about anything he sells. Maybe he can open a gun shop but guns are slightly less addictive.

Are they?
 
Wow. More buildings burnt in mpls. Arrests across the country. Scary. Can't imagine what the residents of these areas are feeling.

Right-wingers are all in for people being armed to overthrow an oppressive government and then become upset when people actually act. Their devotion to the second amendment as a protector of freedom is just a self-serving rationale to support a rather ugly cultural trait.

So that's a no as your answer?

Because he's made no post to even hint at I'm being as such either. Seeing as no positions and presentation are apparent to that.

That's false, stupid and racist.

You don’t seem to understand one group is allowed to protest without a heavy police presence antagonizing them. Literally pointing guns at them.

no one pointed guns at police according to the police that were there.
what you don't seem to understand is that these people are not protesting.
these people are looting, rioting, and burning down peoples businesses that had nothing
to do with what happened.

These people are destroying their own neighborhood like that is going to prove something.

It's hard to take this claim that the burning was not part of the protest since they were chanting "No justice, no peace" while they were doing it.

Protesting does not include destruction of public or private property.

That's no excuse for violence.

No surprise that you make blanket accusations to condone violence.

1. They didn't get violent.

2. They weren't "pointing guns" at the cops. Stop lying.

You are wrong. A policeman put his knees on a man's neck and choked him until it killed him. All that happened afterward was he was fired. He should be in custody, on charges. I'm white and conservative and this pisses me off. Police need to do better than that. I can completely understand where the people of Minneapolis are coming from.

This entire situation is wrong. Police interactions in the US need to stop ending with a dead black man.

look...we have over 800k current law enforcement officers across the country

and we get what...2 or 3 of these idiots on film a year? if that? and you call that, systemic racism

yes, we have some BAD cops patrolling our streets....going to happen when you are hiring that many people into a very high stress, high anxiety, relatively low pay job

the VAST majority of LE officers are really good people who care about the job they do, and the community they serve

but just like every other profession out there, only takes a few bad apples to give the whole barrel a bad smell

so maybe ease up on the rhetoric....

i agree the cop(s) in Minneapolis have a lot of questions to answer for....which is why i want the entire footage of the bodycams released to see if there were things we dont know about....i cant see what that might be, but i am willing to have an open mind

if nothing on the bodycams, then i think the one cop needs to go down for manslaughter and the other 3 for accessory....for standing by while he was basically murdered

So if a protesting group carries guns but not be violent, what is the point of the guns?

To all the white people whining about the riots, remember you whined about black people peacefully kneeling too.

Why did you single out white people? Aren't people of any skin color allowed to be upset over rioting? I mean you guys were losing your minds over dudes standing around peacefully with their firearms. Here we have full on anarchy and you guys are like yay...this fits our narrative. Behind your veil....I know you are smarter than this.

If there was an organization, "2nd Amendment Rights Matter" and people replied, "all rights matter!", could you then see how that's undermining the movement? Can you see how that would be anti 2nd Amendment rights?

Looks like all those Somalians that the asshole Obama sent to Minneapolis are turning the city into Mogadishu.

What many (including myself) find extremely disturbing is that no arrests have been made despite clear evidence of a homicide having taken place. How all four police officers involved could have been immediately fired (for cause?) yet none of them have been charged with any state crime is ample evidence of a systemic problem - regardless of the races of either the victim or the perps.

What an idiotic claim from another anti Trump Socialist who has no standing in this country. Here defines yours and the liberal ideology
