The whole situation is a train wreck.

The true divide isn't race. It's class. I grew up in a poor area, and the cops would beat our white asses just as often as they would my black asseed friends. From the perspective of the police, they put up with a lot more shit in impoverished areas, and have a low tolerance. BUT..... If any one of us today stood at a protest, and some asshole threw a rock at a cop, we'd think what the fuck. And if the police picked up those rocks and threw them back, the dynamic changes. A few of the cops retaliated, throwing some back. A couple people that weren't doing shit but innocently protesting gets hit. People see it and hell breaks looses. I know what my stance would be if I got hit with one. Some asshole started throwing them yes. But what's to be expected when you have the police throwing them back.
I could go on and on, but I've already pissed off enough people offering a different perspective without doing it here too. Lol

Another thing that's has me fired up about this. Once it's all over and people's houses and vehicles are nothing but ashes, businesses are gone or refuse to reopen and the whole town is in shambles including the very places where the rioters live. They will be asking for help because their neighborhood is gone and the rebuilding process starts on someone else's dime

I say let it all break out in a damn free for all across the country and get this shit over with once and for all. Survival of the fittest, then we can see who really means business when it comes down to it

I personally think its not about entitlement, its about lack of knowledge. The ones rioting and looting are not very smart. If they all banned together and VOTED they could have taken out who was in office to make those changes. The voice of one is small, the voice of many is stronger then a gun or bomb. Take the lemmings and lead them properly and you are unstoppable. I always believed that change starts from yourself and when you change you might just influence those around you to believe in the same thing(s).
On a side note we will be seeing some changes from these riots and they are not going to be good for all of us if the shit doesn't stop and we band together for the new world order.

I was at a huge concert this weekend and a plane was flying overhead that had a sign that said

"Keep yourself safe, Always film the police." I was like WTF??

It's bullshit and will not solve anything. There is a difference between protesting and acting like uncaged zoo animals. I don't agree with the situation that started all this le has gone beyond their boundaries and have been for a while now but le doesn't go around just picking people and ruining their lives at random. 90% of the time if the popo approach you then you done something wrong. Another is how people claim their being treated bad, held back,denied and what not, that's bullshit only thing holding you back is yourself. Nobody makes you act this way it's a choice you make. The looting wouldn't happen here, to many people with guns ( 2nd most gun owners per capita in the states) and I exercise my rights and more people should and I guarantee this would have not escalated as it did. People need to wake up and realize society is in the shutter and it's only getting worse because of all the people laying blame on someone else. I say bring in the ng and be done with it

This is a touchy subject to comment on, none the less, burning stores and cars will not solve the problem. How convenient pharmacies are being looted and burnt, its sad, Martin Luther King Jr. would roll over in his grave. How many people in their very own community need those prescriptions??? It's not right to protest under these conditions and I pray for the families affected,

I think the problem is people who cry they are not treated fairly and that they're treated uncivilized , so in turn they act uncivilized loot their neighbors homes, loot the local businesses and teach their children that they're doing something noble and correct....... smfh there lies the problem. An these people get away with it no repercussions at all, the people who in turn suffer are the tax payers , the people who put the money up by paying their taxes which in turn pays for police officers pay , emergency services pay and fire departments pay. Than the people who pay their insurance pay for this..... The best part is the majority of these people doing this fall into todays mindset of being entitled to things , wanting things handed to them , instead of working for everything they feel they deserve everything, the rest are brainwashed thinking this will make things better. The reason this doesn't happen in many other countries is because the people would be shot and killed or locked up for a very long time , because in many other countries you have to earn everything including rights......and when you act up you no longer have rights. Then we have the people who cry about police states and marshal law..... well the people who truly are innocent and do not act this way will also suffer if things hit the fan but honestly they somewhat deserve it because I don't see anyone fighting to make this stop at these riot locations? Its a sad world we live in. It wouldn't get out of hand if the military/ national guard put up a sign and that said in 15 minutes weapons hot with live ammo continue to act uncivilized and inhumane you will be treated as such there will be no racism everyone involved will be shot act equally....... after 30 to 50 punk ass people and uncivilized fools died the message would get through......

It looks like it is going to turn into LA after Rodney king got beat by the cops. If those fires get too out of control it could get real bad real fast. National guard needs to hurry up and get there the cops don't stand a chance.

They need to drop the hammer on these idiots. It's one thing to protest and voice an opinion. It's idiotic to loot and riot when the stores and properties have zero to do with the issue. How is stealing liquor and electronics getting a point across? If I was a store owner there, I'd unload my stockpile of ammo on some fools.

Watching National Security right now. Oh how Martin Lawrence made police brutality funny in 2003...

Man that shit is ridiculous. Not what happened to that guy but how they destroy property over it. It's not even their property it's someone else's who doesn't have shit to do with what happened. Hey fuck tards how bout you go smash the windows in your own house! Go burn your own place down. Not some hard working individuals business who's got nothing to do with it.

Yeah they don't play in Baltimore.. ferguson what?
