Do y'all remember the Boston tea party? Just keep that in mind
Does it make sense to burn a city down? No
But when you feel your rights are violated people will go to extremes .
Peace would be better but sometimes violence is the only way to be heard let's not act brand new..if this wasn't the case then wars went even exist
you may not be black so police brutality may not affect you but when they lock us in our homes for other things it affects us all so please remember your words on how you respond to this because you might be the next person burning some s*** down when they try to take your rights away
the same people who are against what is happening here are the same people who were pissed at the rights are being taken away during the coronavirus
Keep the same energy
I think people have the right to protest whether it's for police brutality or the coronavirus and my comments have always reflected that I don't pick and choose
If the government no longer work for the people than the people have to do what they have to do
we are supposed to run this not them they are supposed to do what we need them to do not the other way around
So while I again do not support violence people are at their wit's end and this is what happens
And PS is not just black people riding and looting a lot of these people are white too so let's just make sure we're being fair here everyone's fed up with this crap
Killing people, locking us in our homes and treating us like slaves between this and coronavirus I'm fed up
and it's the only comment I'm saying about this entire situation so please no one go back and forth with me because this whole situation being a person of color is just really getting to me

It is un-fathomable to me how anybody could justify this behavior any more than justifying the behavior of the cop. Anybody excusing this action is part of the problem not the solution.
I think the police officer that killed Floyd should be and has been charged with 3rd degree murder. I think the other officers that could have intervened but didn't should be charged with something. And if that sounds like pro-police bias, Tran, that is your ignorance speaking. And anybody that damaged property, assaulted a police officer should be arrested and prosecuted, period. That is a pro law and order bias.
Of course I can't understand being Black and the history that goes with that. Of course I have sympathy for anybody who has been treated badly by the very people tasked with protecting you.
Nothing justifies hurting people who have done nothing to you, period.
