@ niffla No I still find it incredibly sad that alot of these people WILL get sick and get others sick but we gotta stop the violence before trying to get everyone to go home.. I have seen alot of masks but when yelling in tightly packed groups is going to be a huge mistake

Not that I’m saying they should storm the White House, but the fact that they decided they needed to hide the president in an underground bunker indicates that they were not confident they could stop the crowd if they tried to take over. Maybe it’s time to put those fantasies of overthrowing the tyrannical government into action.

I'm starting to feel like in a sane society people would start every day off by lighting a cop car on fire and looting a Wal Mart, given that our country is run by corporate cartels and the future of our economy is desolate for everyone except the ultra-rich, who hoard the wealth we create for them and return the favor by looting us some more.
A forest fire every now and then can do wonders for keeping nature in check.

I didn’t see a single protester at the White House who wasn’t wearing a mask. The secret service not so much.
Oh the mask wearing has been on point for sure.
I especially commend the looters on their covid awareness. All the looting videos I've seen have been perfect examples of how to loot in the midst of a pandemic -- masks on and proper 6 foot social distancing between fellow looters. I mean there are exceptions though like when you need a fellow looter or two to help you carry that 80 inch 4K flatscreen out. You kinda have to break social distancing there understandably.

500 years of systematic oppression, loss of life and property and all you care about is some trinkets and buildings that will be covered by insurance. How does it feel to willfully ignore the suffering of an entire race of people over a few opportunists and people taking advantage of a chance to riot and vent after being cooped inside? What level of moral purity do minorities need to reach for them to gain human rights and justice equal to your privileged self? They can't peacefully protest without being lambasted or assaulted with counter movements and they can't protect themselves from the savagery of the police state what is the appropriate response? Protest out of sight conveniently so you can absolve yourself of the guilt of benefiting from the same hegemony these police protect?
You should get this entire white vs non-white conflict narrative out of your head ASAP because it's not going to help anybody but the very rich.
I can assure you that non-whites don't want any part of a racial tribalism battle in the US over police abuse because they're going to end up big losers.
This is about ALL people uniting against police abuse against ALL demographics. This is about the very wealthy using the police to oppress all US citizens. You don't want a racial divide on this issue because it's not going to workout very well.
It's about citizens vs The Elite, not white vs non-white.

If the greedy fucks that own businesses weren't allowed to move the shit overseas, and had to pay the people here in factories a living wage, this might be a little bit better. They could still make millions, but noooooo, they want more millions.

As they lobby congress to strip all US citizens of basic healthcare, social security, etc because they think it could cut their expenses by a few points and buy them their 12th vacation home.

That's why it's the Crony Capitalists vs the Working Class. If you want to stop police abuse, you need to stop the "capitalists" and their dirty tactics. Yes, Wal-Mart, Nike, Apple, and all the global corporations are behind the police brutality in the US, there is no disassociation like many like to pretend.

Mr. ShroomDoom neg rated me and said I'm a white supremacist because I don't support rioting and looting 
Can someone confirm this for me? I mean theoretically speaking it is possible to be able to denounce police brutality and violent rioting and looting at the same time, correct?
Just checking.
And are we now at a point to where if one is not supportive of what's going on right now as far as the violence and destruction of businesses are concerned -- that he or she is now a white supremacist?

Because it actually grabs the attention of the people who can make the systematic changes we need to stop police racism.

I'd say the majority of people are with you, smashing up small businesses and hurting innocent people is beyond an evil thing to do right now. For me the thing is that there are millions protesting and speaking out peacefully, but somehow everyone is shifting the entire narrative towards the relatively minuscule amount of looters when compared to people protesting and supporting the message that we need police reform. Most people don't spend the day after a world series complaining about the fans who's team lost (or won, for some reason) and flipped cars and smashed storefronts, they talk about the game.

Again, it's the very wealthy vs the working class. Capitalists like Wal-Mart fund police brutality towards all US citizens, so if you want to get attention, don't attack small local businesses.
The working class doesn't get change in the voting booth, they get it when they hit the streets and hurt profits of The Elite.
The Elite don't respect the working class for very good reason, we're divide and not focused on the key issues.

You mean black cops abusing white citizens, Asian cops abusing Hispanics, white cops abusing Asians, Middle Eastern cops abusing whites or Hispanic cops abusing blacks?
This isn't about racism, it's about police of ALL demographics abusing citizens of ALL different demographics.

A black cop that killed a white woman in Minneapolis is sitting in jail now. Even the way the cops are prosecuted has a racial component.
The police union decides who gets punished and who doesn’t. The Minneapolis police union is run by a white supremacist. They’ll throw the black cops under the bus.
