America riots after Police kill unarmed Black Man

[SD_Film Artists]

Riots are completely uncalled for. Never fight violence with violence.

I often suspect people who say to never fight violence with violence were never the subjects of intense school bullying. No teacher, no pleading, no discussing, no questioning, no yelling, and no punishment ever changed their mind except for my hurting them back and then making it clear I wasn't going to take it from anyone else.

Violence for violence is not always the answer, no. But sometimes it does a damn sight more to help than anything else.

Good point. Sometimes people are happy to say what not to do but they become quiet when it comes to suggesting a realistic alternative. Having said that, I think there are better ways to protest than destroying a store who's owner may or may not have supported you.

So what is your realistic alternative ?

Minneapolis did the right thing by immediately firing the officers.

The riots are understandable, but the timing is fucking awful.

Nah fam, if the police killed my brother in cold blood, I'd want the police station to be burned to the ground, and every cop in the city forced to flee for their lives. Pacifists never win because they just keep getting shot and never fight back.

Yeah no, sometimes violence needs violence in return.

Husband and Wife attacked whilst trying to defend their store from looters, hit repeatedly with fists and wooden boards. Rochester NY

Savage scumbags.

Shit like this end up making riots entirely unjustified to me.

At least two countries won their independence through civil disobedience campaigns, Rojava.

Even softies like me can agree there. You can't talk away Nazi Germany, or scum like ISIS and the like.

[Agarntrop]

People claiming that opportunistic theft/looting is a form of violent 'protest' now? Ffs

I suspect that alot of pacifists are just glorified wimps. They're pussies who are too afraid to fight and cover up their cowardice with a fake moral standpoint. Now I'm not speaking on Cappedore because idk him, but alot of people who say violence is not the answer are just afraid to get violent and it annoys me. You should not go looking for fights but if someone starts a fight with you, and threatens your life, it is not only a right but a responsibility to take them down.

That poor couple. They didn't deserve to get beaten like this.

There are peaceful protester somewhere within these riots but as of right now it seems to be mostly riots.

Let's just call out the elephant in the room. America is rioting and people are dying.

You could probably find an SKS for cheap somewhere for about 300-400 USD. Ammo is cheap and the gun is easy to look after. Normally I'd be against the Chinese versions because low quality but in times like this go for it. Yugo ones are really good quality same with Soviets

I'm in the UK so I can't legally get a gun, but if I could I'd probably go for a revolver as I don't trust myself to maintain a pistol properly, and a medium sized calibre; large enough to have some stopping power but not stupidly large so you have 5 rounds of pure recoil.

Get a webely

This is the sad thing about this shit. I totally understand the rage at the police but when you beat down a random couple and loot their business, are you any better than the cops? How utterly disappointing. This thing gets darker daily and is losing the original ragged glory it had.

I disagree. I think violence is too often the coward's recourse. Compare the cornered person who lashes out, or the rats who attack others in mobs, to the committed pacifist who refuses to engage in retaliatory violence when being attacked by evil. I'm sorry, but the latter is miles braver than someone driven by a fight-or-flight response. That being said, I'm all for self-defence and not a pacifist myself, I just find that standing to principle even against harm admirable.

Incredibly based.

So what is your realistic alternative ?

Staying away from looting as it's counter-productive, also nonviolent protest.

Well, kneeling during the anthem was treason, so...

I asked for your realistic alternative. You are now the one who tells the bullied boy once again he should speak with his teachers as he has done a dozen times with zero result.

These people feel desperate. Telling them to keep doing what they have tried over and over and over again and got slammed down for with nothing gained is not going to work.

Well ok, some are desperate. Quite a few probably just enjoy seeing things burn for fun. On all sides.

Stealing shit for your own benefit isn't even political, nevermind just or legal.... it's just wrong, and the looters should be jailed for a good few years to deter others.

I do have more sympathy with the genuine political rioters, though

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

The answer is Trump being elected so that things like police reform get ignored to own the SJWs.

Don't blame Trump for this, crazies have existed forwver before Trump, and will exist for ever after Trump.

Yes but he lead the crazys into ignoreing all attempts at police reform.

There will always be a very small minority of people who are gonna use chaos like this to loot. It will, of course, be amplified by a fair few media outlets as they sweep ongoing acts of police brutality under the rug.

Don't blame Trump for this, crazies have existed forwver before Trump, and will exist for ever after Trump.

The Democrats have controlled Minneapolis since before any of these officers joined the force.

Clearly it's Trump's fault that the Democrats didn't spend the decades they've controlled the city government cleaning up the police force...

That... I have no real rebuttal aginst. You have a point why didn't the dems clean up the force?

Well, Trump did tell these fine officers that hurting a suspect a little during an arrest was fine...

But yes. Plenty of blame to go around.
