These riots will achieve nothing as usual. Not even a mention of George Floyd on the news networks anymore, just a focus on the destruction.

Heard last night that one in seven arrested in NYC have been from outside the region.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why are you so transfixed with what these riots will ‘achieve’. Peaceful protests don’t achieve anything either. What is happening now isn’t some sort of movement. It’s an emotional reaction to a system which has been against them for centuries. It would actually be abnormal if they weren’t rioting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What total crap. It would be abnormal for there to be no riots?!?! You have it in your head that a majority of these protests have something to do with racism when all they are is a chance to create political unrest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you can’t see why a large part of the populace are as furious as they are then you need to be educated. Though you gave said in 10 years in the US you’ve seen no racism so I don’t quite think you understand the pulse of the nation you live in right now.

It would be abnormal if there were no protests. We've already established that things have descended because of people infiltrating these protests and turning them into riots for their own purposes. But can you really see a situation where police become so bold that they can kill unarmed, compliant black people while being recorded and that the people who see themselves (and have seen themselves for centuries) as the victim every day would do nothing? Or that they'd somehow say "well one of ours has been killed but screw that, let's protest [insert other issue]"?

Now who's talking crap?!

He doesn't see it because he doesn't want too. Too many people are like that which is why things won't change.

The key word in that is "if". Meaning it wasn't an accusation or a statement of fact...

So it is a pointless comment then. Thanks for clearing that up. Don’t ever volunteer to be a defence lawyer.

VC, given some of the shiiiite you’ve contributed to this debate, I don’t think you can talk about pointless comments. But hey, keep on burying your head in the sand and thinking your bizarre thoughts about the situation in the US 👉

Shite reiterated by pretty much everyone this morning on mainstream media in the USA including Fox News.

But you living in your little fluffy cotton wool world knows better than people who live in the real one.

What you should be worried about is how many traits you share with Trump. Ignorance being a major one.

No offence Robb but you come across as a patronizing fool. How many times on this thread have you said we need to educate ourselves as if you are some kind of oracle on all things race related.

As has been pointed out, the WHOLE nation was appalled by the video, now half the nation is sick to death of clowns rioting and smashing up the place.

How in any language is that going to get anything done? The simple answer is that it won't and the fact you seem to think it will despite decades of failure suggests you cannot be educated.

The one thing that really disappoints me when these incidents occur is how the police force in general do or say nothing, it is time the 'good' came out and lambasted what they must have seen from within. And it isn't about race, the police can seemingly bully their way through all levels of society and seem untouchable at times.

You keep making these stupid comments showing that you don’t understand what is going on. Maybe you need to be patronised.

VC, you’ve shown that you don’t know how to interpret the news you’re apparently watching on TV. That’s worrying.

Sorry but your fall back here is very weak. But it is the best you can do to try to save face.

Lol! I wouldn't ever volunteer to be such because I'm not a lawyer! But I at least understand if statements... in coding as well as in general parlance! Unlike you it would seem.

Say what you want but your ignorant words are on here for all to read. We shall let others judge who was right and who was wrong. But hey, you agree with cinciwolf, a guy who has never seen racism in the US so that’s a wonderful crowd you’re mixing with 👍

It isn’t my fault that people on the news are saying pretty much what I said.

Of course I could interpret it to mean the opposite like you do, just to win an argument.

,rofl> You are embarrassing yourself Robb, every single post of yours talks of how others are ignorant and uneducated but all you have provided is a 'rioting is good and all folks have' argument. Genius

And yet the Reverend Al Sharpton said exactly the same thing about Rioting and looting this morning.

You best look him up.

‘But people on the news are saying it’

😹 Learn to form your own opinions. If (I’m saying if here) you don’t understand why people are rioting and destroying stuff despite it appearing counter productive then you’re as ignorant as the people you claim to be against. The rioting is the only logical reaction to what has gone on for centuries. Think about it VC. Please.

I think i shall head out for the day and see if i can figure out how it is ignorant to point out that rioting will achieve nothing. I mean, i only have decades of evidence on my side but apparently i am misreading the situation.

Have 100% support, go smash up a city, lose 50% of that support. It really is a genius tactic.

How about you actually speak to black people then? How about you try some empathy? How about you read up on the history. How about you learn about what the likes of Garner, Floyd, Gray, Bland, Cooper Siyonbola, Scott actually DID at the time they were accosted. How about you learn that some white people's attitudes have not shifted at all through the generations (see the similarities in how Emmit Till was accused on the singular word of a white woman much like Chris Cooper just two weeks ago and how the system immediately believes and supports them.

Then you come back and tell us we're living in fluffy cotton wool worlds.

You still don't understand the part that infiltration has to play in the escalation of protests to riots, do you? It was done SPECIFICALLY to turn people against these protests. You've been fooled by it and, despite it being mentioned several times on this post, refuse to see it...

You can't make this up!
