Shooting an unarmed person who is not a threat is wrong.

Shooting an unarmed person who's actively doing something harmful isn't wrong.

As someone who lives in Greensboro which is right by Charlotte, fuck. From my experiences with the Charlotte Police Department they seem like a well-trained bunch, at least regarding the epidemic of stupid drivers that has been plaguing them for years. Though they also seem to be doing a very good job seeing as only a handful of people have actually died in these riots and none of those were by the police.

Anyway, imo the peaceful protest failed as soon as people started rioting, those who want to protest peacefully and in an orderly fashion should schedule at a different time, or different place, because unfortunately they are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to the Rioters and will be treated suspiciously as potential rioters/victims.

Not surprised at all. Especially considering how BLM supporters riot immediately when someone is shot and just happens to be African American. Of course, you can tell they'd act like uncivilised rabble knowing how wilfully ignorant they are towards the actions of the individual shot, just focusing on the fact that: One, the individual shot was African American. Two, that a cop was the one who shot them. This is appalling. And then, we get to the point where some of these supporters begin to act like barbarians towards anyone or anything just for the fun of it.

I concur. Undoubtedly, peaceful protest doesn't seem to exist in the BLM vocabulary. Unlike the Civil Rights movement in the 60s, it seems that BLM has no goal and actual purpose other than cause chaos and disruption. How BLM supporters wish to gain credibility by acting like this is beyond my comprehension.

I think BLM is just a front exploited by politicians for their own political purposes. the actual BLM are probably organized by liberal organizations(i heard reports that most arrested protesters had out-of-state ID's in North Carolina). Some of those protesters are just using it as an excuse to steal, loot and commit other acts of infamy.

There is no organized political movement seeking to overcome some perceived problem. Just a bunch of troublemakers and the people exploiting this artificial tension created by the Media's false yellow journalism. Don't get me started on who owns the media, the usual liberal suspects.

Ever since that whole Zimmerman trial, ABC, MSNBC et al and the usual suspects(Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton) have been stirring up shit for their own gain(For the media, views. For Jesse and Al, political). They are trying to stir black people up against the White Race for their own gain.

The sad reality is, that black people commit far more crimes and kill eachother at a higher rate than cops do. the Media always say when some white cop shoots a black guy.

But what you may not have known is that the cop that shot that armed thug in North Carolina was fucking black. They went and made this a race issue when it is not a race issue. It's a bunch of isolated incidents where thugs are shot by the police and the media, Jesse and Al make it sound like they just got lynched by racist white people for no reason.


Here's a good question; Why the fuck aren't Asians having all these issues with the police? Why are the Asians statistically better off, in some cases even better than whites? When was the last time we had an Asian riot because the police treated them like shit? Asians are a minority and have been treated like shit in the past, too. We didn't lock blacks up in concentration camps and take all their shit away like we did with the Japanese, and the Chinese were practically dispensable slave labourers on our railroads and mines throughout the 19th centuries.

I have an idea what the problem is, and i know the solution.

Well, we didn't enslave the Japanese and Chinese for over 200 years, and then try to stifle their social and economic opportunities via systematic discrimination, i.e. Jim Crow, for half a century (though, this isn't to say Asians weren't subject to any systematic discrimination). So, you know, that's food for thought too.

Asians had to sit in the back of the bus. Asians couldn't use the pools during 'white hours', Asians weren't allowed to sit in the 'white areas' during segregation. Were they enslaved? In some cases, yes. They were also very abused and cheated even when they did get paid. Not to mention the Chinese exclusion act and general racism. Order 9066 was only part of what they encountered. They had segregation and racism just as much as blacks in this country. Though they were never enslaved, but slavery is not an excuse for current African problems in the States.

Well, technically, enslaved is not the right word. In some cases, they had to work for free as indentured servants. Other times they were paid very, very low wages. They were abused and their lives viewed as..not worth much. Not the same as slavery, more akin to sharecropping, really.

This excuses it how? Both the example you have provided and the riots taking place conducted by BLM supporters are extremely stupid.
I don't see the point of this post.
