Protesters Steal 50 Expensive Cars from California Dealership

These people are rioting over the killing of a black person yet they are killing black people in these riots.
logic makes 0 sense.

The guy that died was a cop and someone has to perpetuate the lie that all cops are bad no matter the color.
Some of these folks just need better leaders.
 
keys need to be programmed after purchase

No they don't. If that was the case, how do you think they get the cars off the transport trucks or move them around the dealership before purchase?

The cars that were stolen come with a black key and a red key which are both coded to the car at the factory.
 
They will either be forced to ship them overseas or dismantle them and sell the parts, but many major car parts now have serial numbers on them that can be traced.

How did you get off on this tangent?

These joyriders want to destroy as much property as they can in the time they have.

Nobody thinks about registering a stolen car.

That's because the riots and looting have nothing to do with the protests. The rioting is done by criminals and scavengers looking to sow violence and destruction and maybe get some free stuff. It's not about police brutality, it's about getting while the "getting's good".

This is true. The US could use a better leader, for example.

The protesters are looting and rioting.
you are trying to excuse their behavior.

you fail.

I'm not trying to excuse their behavior. Many of the people leading the protests, including Floyd's family are calling for an end to the violence. They don't want the violence because the rioting and looting hurt the message.

You are just trying to conflate the groups so you can condemn the whole.

you fail.

not at all. These people started looting and burning day 1.

The majority of those protesting did not, and the leaders condemned the violence early on.

"These people"

lol, nice.

Again, you're just trying to conflate the groups for cheap political points. It's pretty much SOP at this point, but it is still sad and disgusting that partisan politics has fallen even lower under Trump.
 
If some cops are bad but bosses or union reps don't do anything about bad cops as you claim, then the police is bad because 'bad' cops aren't dealt with. If the police is bad, all cops are bad...That's your fallacy...that all cops are bad...Your fallacy that bosses or union reps prevent anything from being done about bad cops.

Moreover, there isn't enough bad cops' behavior to warrant a systemic overhaul of the police system by forcing bosses and union reps who won't deal with bad cops, in your opinion, to deal with them.• Chart: How Many People Are Killed by Police in the U.S.? | Statista

One of the really harmful effects of this leftwing smear campaign against the police is it makes young men not want to be policemen. A sheriff's deputy I know says applications are way down for his department and all police departments. It's time for ordinary people to denounce the leftwing in no uncertain terms for the damage they are doing.

ONE GUY is standing up to them without the backing of many Congressional Republicans, and that is Donald J. Trump.

Remember to vote in November!!!

The leftwingers accusing Trump of siccing the military on protesters are the ones conflating the groups. Why is that OK?

Am I'm sorry, but when BLM protestors in the past have chanted about killing cops, one should assume there is signficant overlap between the groups.

Looters Snag 50+ Cars Including $100K Hellcats, Chargers, Challengers, And Trackhawks

More than 50 new high-performance Mopar models were stolen from a California Dodge dealership after looters shattered the showroom windows to snatch keys.

We must try to understand these protesters are so distraught about the black man killed by that cop. It is only natural they would be driven to break into a Dodge dealership break the windows, steal keys and drive away these very expensive cars. I think Trump is responsible. He gave them no choice but to loot. It is so WRONG of Trump to want to bring in the National Guard to try to stop this type of response. He is SO uncaring, and, well, racist.
Step 1 is to mentally separate the protesters from the opportunistic criminals hiding among them. Protesting is their legal right, and blaming them for the crimes of the fewer is dishonest. So what would you suggest be the course of action where people still get to protest but we minimize the crime?

Excellent. Then you agree with the president for calling for troops to protect property and lives against the looters? You also condemn the leftwing outlets of blatant lying, who accuse Trump of wanting to bring troops against protesters?

Is this your suggestion? I will assume it is.

No calling in the national armed forces on our own people at this point is not the right idea and I wouldnt trust trump with that power. That's too much of an escalation. The exception would be if a state requests the support and it is given without trumps bs strings attached. State guards should be mobilized if needed, and they were actually called in too late in minnesota where I am. The organized nature of destruction caught us off guard to the point that it's obvious to me that bankrolled forces have tried to coopt the protest for cover in their agenda. Which forces idk. I support the curfews, state guard, and peoples right to defend their business and property and lives. I think intelligence forces could be mobilized to uncover and bring to justice any organizations that are coopting the protests for evil purposes. Unless its black people. Then it may not be evil. If they really think they are treated so unjustly, then it is up to them to decide how strongly to act and if force is necessary. I would hope they wield force wisely and against their true enemies. That's their natural right to defend themselves even if laws or norms or a hidden racist population stands in the way.

If you have a specific article in mind I can look at it, but I dont believe trump understands the difference between the protests and the malignant pieces hiding in it. I know that right wing media tries to combine them and aim all blame at their favorite scapegoats. And also minimize hard the idea that systemic discrimination against black people exists.

I wonder what military intervention would look like, tbh. Is it only at night? How would they stop the bad things while allowing the protest to continue? I dont think they wield a scalpel to be able to do it without some very negative consequences. I'm a liberal. The government wielding force imprecisely and physically harming and infringing the rights of citizens is a high priority concern. Which means citizen v citizen or v business crime probably becomes priority 2 or lower unless it becomes wide scale abuse from say a corporation under protection of bad laws or poor oversight.

Crime like the looting is also a problem, an opportunistic one. Many more people are ok with casual theft than we know. It's all about opportunity, risk, and perspective on ownership. This is part of why I support responsible regulated use of firearms in self defense that isnt gaslit and fearmongered by the powers that be. I consider small crime more of an organic problem that requires organic incentive based solutions. You minimize crime by helping improve the broken parts of society and helping people buy in to the legitimate system and economy. You dont minimize small crime by killing or locking people up for their whole life, stealing fathers from families, and creating cyclical decline in communities.

Nothing assuages the sting of racial injustice like a $100k car.
