As someone who fully appreciates the conditions that have spawned the BLM movement, they should really make efforts assess the available information on individual incidents before reacting lest they be perceived by the public as reflexively supporting violent criminals.


All BLM is interested in is pulling a non-black from their car and beating them to death..it's not a protest. It's a Liberal riot against civil society. They still think "Hands Up Don't Shoot" actually happened and want "street justice" rather then Due Process. Obama logic has consequences..

Europe and the middle east, huh? Should be a blast, just don't lose your head.

Of course, dhimmis are always welcome to barter for safe passage with cash, goats, or young children.

The chum was tossed into the pool and the usual suspects have shown up on cue...

This is why more and more ordinary people buy guns and ammo. There are certain demographic groups that will use any excuse to loot, burn, and steal.

That ebonics crap drives me nuts. I can't even watch it. However, I'm guessing all of these fools have jobs to go to in the morning ;)

Umbrella pretty much nailed it. Some real classy folks around here. That being said the rioting was unacceptable.

By classy, you mean, accurately representing who they're talking about and people being butt hurt about it because it challenges their mentality? Agreed. :D

"Class" was thrown out the window when elected representatives in U.S. congress kept repeating "Hands up, don't shoot" after it was long debunked that that version of what happened in Ferguson was false.

Debunked? Those facts were obviously lies told to us by the vast right wing conspiracy.

Terrible admission: come on, there are a few clueless white liberals who always act like they represent minorities, you'd just for a few seconds like to see this reality visited upon. (But annoying as that type is, I don't really wish any of them any physical harm, just a fresh dose of reality to knock them off their high horses a bit).

And why am I not surprised: vertical video fail. Perfect.

See I was right. I called this earlier in the thread....

That police say Sylville Smith had a gun and that the officer who killed him was also black hardly seemed to matter to many of the protesters. Residents said the riots were about years of mistreatment by police as well as the lack of economic opportunities for blacks in one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States.

"Black Milwaukee is in some ways a city in a city,” said Omokunde, who was born in the Sherman Park neighborhood where the protests occurred. “This isn't about one thing."

Reggie Moore, a black man from Sherman Park who was appointed by the mayor this year to lead the city's Office of Violence Prevention, said he had been on the streets monitoring the protesters and teaming with pastors and community groups in an attempt to bring calm.

"What’s happening isn't random," he said. "Last year, we saw a spike in homicides. There is job loss. There are bad schools. There are a lot of teens in this neighborhood who feel like they aren't getting their fair share."

These communities blame the lack of economic opportunity on racism against them... well when there was opportunity people in the community decided to burn the businesses to the ground. Can't blame everything on whitey. I suggest starting your economic rebound by not burning things to the ground, and not sympathizing with and excusing those who do choose to burn & destroy. I'm only trying to be helpful. I could be a liberal who sympathizes from the deepest depths of my heart yet does absolutely nothing useful. At least I provided good helpful advice that will make a positive difference :)

I wonder if some of the BLM crowd will make good on their threat to take it to the burbs.

No, that is his typical post in every thread. Useless trolling, usually with name calling.

The fact is, the riots, looting, etc where totally uncalled for. But per usual, the people doing it are trying to play the victim card. That is far from classy, but don't call him out for it. He must think the actions are ok, as he didn't say they weren't. Just did a drive by troll post as usual.

Sad fact is, if a white person was stopped and mobbed, and they defended themselves with a gun they would be the evil ones. Even though the video clearly shows they are instigating beatings of whites, and trying to start shit. I carry with me, and if I could not get away in my vehicle, I would defend myself and family.
