USMCRET, I do support you for something you saying here, but I would also hew to conflict opinion with you.
You putting all protesters in one category which simply is not true, I mean of course there is many bad people on streets just want to loot and do damage.
Other are paid to do what they do and third just using situation to push their crazy political ideas.
But have in mind that there is big chunk of protesters who are literally pissed on system which is failing them again and again. Also there is many people who don't protest, but support idea that something need to be drastically changed with police. Something is deeply wrong with US police. Not every station, but looks to me its many of them. In fact, majority.
I mean If I'm young black guy in USA, with no job, having trouble with police many times (not because I did something wrong), seeing all that killings of unarmed men by police without any reasons or justifications and police officers getting away from that like nothing is happened again and again ... There is no sentence for them, there is no responsibility ... It's like they deciding who lives and who dies and no one can't do sh*t about it!
Believe me I would be pretty damn pissed and I don't think peaceful protest would be enough! I mean they tried and tried and nobody gived demn about sh*t. So what else they can do? I mean why US police and government didn't start solving things when Ferguson unrest started? How many innocent people was killed by police like dogs (I mean killing dog would put someone in big trouble today , so is not same
) since then and nobody even lost their job? And is not all about "killing poor black guys" there is many white guys who are also victims of police brutality but they cases don't become national news.
I don't know ... problem is really serious and your solution to solve it with brute force would only make things worse. Of course some force would be necessary, but if that is only answer to problem ... Things would not end up well for most US citizens. This could be solved 10- 5 years ago just fine.Only if they persecuted killer cops... even if they gave them mild sentences. But they can't kill innocent man and tomorrow get back to work like nothing happened.
It almost looks to me like someone did this on purpose.
