@bolded: Where in my posts did I say or even hint at that??? Every single protest was nonviolent until police escalated the situation.

And there are numerous accounts and videos of white nationalists and undercover cops vandalizing shops and causing mayhem to muddy the waters and the protesters tried to stop them. These protests are completely valid and were nonviolent until agitators stirred things up.

THE POLICE NEED TO STOP KILLING BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE. IT'S NON-NEGOTIABLE!

ALL ACTS Of VIOLENCE ARE DAMN SHAMEFULL BEING ESCALATED OR NOT,THERE IS NO GOOD EXCUSE.

Destroying property of others and hurting unrelated people will not stop the police from killing black and brown people,those people aren't yours and no ones sacrifices to take no matter the cause.

I'm not excusing the fucking unnecessary violence. And I don't condone looting. But do I give a fuck if Target gets looted? No. Target doesn't even give a fuck themselves.

The Boston Tea Party was considered an act of violence and rebellion, maybe you should denounce America with the same vigor as you're denouncing these protests. Shit, while you're at it, at the start of the civil war there was rightly acts of violence against slave owners, are you going to denounce that. It's funny you won't tho, I wonder why.. I guess racism is "no good excuse"

You're throwing the blame on the people when you should be focusing on the system that brought us to this point and the racism that allowed that oppressive system to stay intact for centuries. Your annoyance and anger are misplaced. People get fed up with having their brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, etc. get killed in cold blood with no accountability placed on the murderer.

And there was a simple way to stop all of this. Arrest and rightly charge ALL the officers present. And radically reform the justice system but no, confronting your own prejudice and racism is too uncomfortable for white America.

There would have been no violence had the police done their job. There would have been no violence had the police not escalated the situation with violence. There would have been no violence had there been justice. There would have been no violence had the US not deployed the military to gas, shoot, tase, bomb, etc. their civilians conducting a peaceful protest. There would have been no violence had our justice system worked for ALL people.
