No white people in America usually only riot for good reasons. Like their football team losing.

Notice that nobody in America (white, black, or any other race) can be bothered to get out of bed to protest or riot over the Banking Cartel just printing up trillions $$$ USD and STOLE it from the American people, which will create even more poverty, inequality, and injustice moving forward.

And they're going to do it again, and again, and again, every 7-10 years, like clockwork. They'll just whip up some disaster on the people as a cover and diversion for their theft.

Yeah, let's loot and burn down the local small businesses but leave the govt buildings and banks untouched. /s  Roll Eyes

RIP Occupy Wall Street. Sad that Americans have their priorities all fkd up.  Cry

to be fair, I did see a Wells Fargo on fire

military?  Huh

Americans doing American things. Best to leave 'em to it.

I have now reached a plateau of acceptance and indifference and instead of watching things like that I have switched to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcnKvqDMnKU

Hmm... if you want something a bit more current I recommend this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ0UZm7ZBsw

Dragon has docked with the ISS and the crew is gearing up to come onboard.

I always make time for a good docking.


This is what senseless rioting and looting will get you...mobilized military at your doorstep and on your street corner. They have the authority to command the public to comply with orders that normal cops don't. That's why you don't want martial law.

And to be fair, that idiot woman was told 3 times to get in her house and she didn't listen, just sat there filming. She's lucky it was just a paintball and not a rubber bullet.

No no no, those are cops. It even says "POLICE" across their jackets. I don't know who owns the armored vehicle tho -- that looks like National Guard to me. It was in Minneapolis, so could have been.

True jojo, I agree. But when the rioting mob shows up in your neighborhood to burn your house down, is that also going to be a bigger problem?

I'm not advocating for statist military, but there are two sides to this situation.

Like I said, when the people choose senseless looting and rioting over meaningful peaceful protest, this is what happens.

What brave law enforcement officers. They just laid a little freedom on those troublemakers who had the audacity to occupy their own home.

No white people in America usually only riot for good reasons. Like their football team losing.
Europeans riot over football matches.
There are essentially no riots in America over athletic competitions.  Perhaps you can find a single obscure example of such a riot somewhere, but I'll say it again:  we don't riot over football matches.
This is one respect in which people in the U.S. have their heads screwed on straighter than people elsewhere do.
Rioting over race killings is another matter.

Get your terminology straight!

Think "law enforcement state" or "law enforcement brutality".

I had a friend who was an MP. We talked about cops in the military and he said they were less than useless. Reason being:

If you see a guy running with a TV set and you tell a cop "stop that man" the cop will run out, tackle the person, and stop them.
If you see a guy running with a TV set and you tell a soldier "stop that man" the soldier will lift his rifle, aim, and fire.

It's training. This is what you do. Thus a cop is useless in a battle because their training is to subdue and not kill. And a MP is not what you want to police civilians because their training is shoot to kill, end of story.

Something tells me that things have changed a bit in the last 20 years.

Blacks did meaningful, peaceful protests. Sports people would kneel during a crappy song and white people went berserk. That's about the least violent, least noisy, least impactful thing you could do and it got rebukes from the President on down.

The truth is they don't want black people to protest at all, just shut the fuck up, take it, and do their jobs.

That's reality. This is where it leads.

Get your terminology straight!

Tanks do not burn as easily, but I am sure some rioters would love the challenge of destroying a tank, and sure whether matters are going to escalate or if the police are going to be able to get some of this under control is still to be seen.

Some of the powers that be likely love the chaos and the potential to possibly impose martial law..

Surely a balancing between sides, and surely the rioters are a combination of regular people and more adventurous pissed off people, and police have already seen if they are not able to keep some of the protests and property destruction matters under control it can devolve into more and more violence, property damage and of course, looting will follow when matters devolve into extremes, including when police forces are nowhere to be seen... and surely some of the more elderly folks and property owners might not really feel so comfortable going out onto the streets or might stay in the burbs to the extent that matters might be contained in certain neighborhoods, other than their own.

Well, on one side of this line are hero protesters doing it right. I support these people 1000%.

And on the other side, are people who have lost their fucking minds, and clearly could give a fk all about the death of George Floyd.

Are we really going to sit here and justify the actions of the looters? Who do they think will pay for all of that destruction? The wealthy elites, or the poor tax payers?
