I looked at the links you posted (thanks; nice job) and man 2 seems to make more sense than man 1 here. good points on your end about reasons for no immediate arrest and on the civil end of things. Nicely done. You are correct, it was Man 2. I'm not sure why I read it as Man 1... been a long day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think watching what typically represents a lifetime of work, sweat, blood and sacrifice burn to the ground represents a mere “inconvenience”, you’re a fool. If you’re simple enough to not consider the ramifications of widespread looting, violence and destruction on a community, of the jobs lost, buildings abandoned, major retailers deciding it’s not worth the effort to rebuild there...ah, whatever. Keep on with your silliness. People of depth, character and consideration for their fellow man will do the best they can to go around you. I’m not advocating the looting and vandalism but passive disobedience is clearly not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I understand the anger and protest against racism and police brutality but I will never understand how destroying property and looting are in any way positive or indicative of any positive outcome against either of those things. I have no argument against peaceful demonstration but to burn and loot in the short term I guess releases anger but its so short sighted . the WHY they are protesting to answer Buffalo Gal is anger, frustration with police brutality and overt racism leading to death, grief and mob mentality sinking in. The collateral damage does nothing to help at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have literally zero idea of what this scumbag cops motivation was. What aggravates me is how the term racism gets thrown around incorrectly all the time. Racism is the belief that a race of people are inherently inferior to your own race. So to say the motivation is racism, you’d have to know the cop believed that black people were inferior. There is nothing we know to support that. Not a thing. nowadays , any incident involving two different races of people gets the racism tag. More accurately it could be speculated as bigotry. But even that in this case is totally unknown. 5 minutes ago, Margarita said: Being that Floyd was black it is going to be labeled a racial issue even if that officer would have treated any other person the same way.

Do you honestly believe that we will ever get rid of every bad cop? Assuming you agree that level of thinking is childish and stupid then what else can be done now besides prosecute and convict him? If this stuff was as common place as you pretend it would never make the news. Chicago has had about 200 murders this year already but no one cares because it is expected. This cop should be convicted but stop pretending he is common. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really think that black people aren't taking this as a racial affront (rightly or wrongly) we would disagree. I think you need to be black to understand their frustration and anger at the optic of it though. I can't judge that accurately or personally because Im not black but also as Im watching these protests unfurl a Lot of the folks protesting are not exclusively black. SO perhaps racial issues are not the majority part of this anger. But it has to be at least part due to our countries history thats just my opinion. There is a huge distrust between cops and people in general and racial stereotypes you know this. Black Lives Matter is example. great SMH my sons neighborhood in Brooklyn has fires burning this chit just got personal for me Edited May 30, 2020 by Margarita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
