Lockdown Ends, Riots Begin

Oh. Was the cop who killed Floyd found innocent at his trial? No wonder the folks are rioting.

1. No one is “found innocent” at a trial.
2. Perhaps people are less concerned with whether the cop is punished than with the fact that George Floyd is dead?
3. Why does it invariably take cellphone video to result in action in these situations? Would the men who killed Ahmaud Aubery be awaiting trial if that video hadn’t surfaced?

I don’t condone the riots or looting, but the outrage is understandable.

Outrage is warranted; rioting and looting and wonton destruction of both public and private property is not. That action is no less outrageous than the killing of a subdued and handcuffed person by a policeman. You are right (#2) … these people are more concerned with wreaking havoc than they are seeking justice.

There will be a curfew and the guard will be armed. Reporter asked if they would have live ammunition and the leader of the guard said yes.

So, I suppose the answer is that shooting looters does stop looters?

@STODR

Are you asking what it can carry or what it is carrying?

I know it has cameras, I’m wondering what sort of electronics packages it has related to signals intelligence.

Let’s just say what they can carry is better then a stingray. Whether or not they are I can’t say. Seems to me they would need a warrant to do it on US citizens. That is a question for someone else.

Emergency powers. Extraordinary situation. Public safety. Stuff.

The police surrendered a police station.

And you know what…I admire that. They targeted the police. Now if they have left other business alone, didn’t loot, burn etc. They would have me respect.

Say what? You would support attacking innocent police officers for the actions of a few specific ones? Tell me I read that wrong.

@WuWei

Who are their masters?

@STODR

Then who are the masters you claimed they are roiting against?

The people with their literal knees and boots on their necks. What’s the confusion here guys? They burned down the precinct police station.

Lot of things should have been done differently by everybody. But here we are, with one very ticked off neighborhood and everyone else with an opinion on how they should really feel.

Everything the police do is done at the behest of someone else.

Why stop there? There are democrats everywhere.

[conan]

No you didn’t read it wrong.

At least they would ave targeted the source of their anger.

Somewhere I’ve seen a black sports bar owner crying because his business was destroyed last night. It was his life saving, his life.

That saddens me more then cop station being raided for some reason.

[WuWei]

I’m a little torn between Minneapolis and Louisville cases. The news is covering one and not the other.

Are you really this stuck seeing this through a left/right paradigm?

Oh I see, this buck don’t stop there eh?

Im the one who said maybe they go to city hall next.

[hwyflier]

I see a systemic collapse that occurred and caused people to take up violent arms against their government last night.

That not a cause for celebration or anything, but it is quite American.
