And that one was pretty mild compared to riots of the 60s.

And to think, this all spiraled out of control because cops shot a guy who was trying to pull a gun on them.

Perhaps not.

It also seems less likely that the tragedy in Nice was a terrorist act (at least not a planned one) Of course most people have already moved on and have attributed to the whatever holy war is going on. The alternative is perhaps even more scary, depressed guy with mental health issues snaps and does all this :(

What?! Are you too young to know about the Los Angeles riots from the Rodney King incident. Everything that's happening is tragic, but is small in comparison.

Edit: I should have kept scrolling as several have pointed it out.

But this has really undone a lot of slow healing that was going on from the previous civil unrest. Not looking forward to more of this pain in my city.

The violence in Dallas is 50-60+ years of frustration pent up, not one incident. 

Anton Sterling was shot in Baton Rouge, where the most recent cop shootings took place after a series of protests against his shooting.

Alton Sterling is like what ... 1/20 of the same type of recent cases? 

People who are under 19/20 who think this is some recent phenomenon don't know the situation very well, quite frankly. This has been a problem in America for decades and decades, it's just boiled over now. 

Folkes are not angry because of one shooting or because Beyonce told them to be angry. 

...

We're discussing the police shootings in Baton Rouge. Which resulted from the protests.

Which came from Anton Sterling. 

Also worth noting that the shooter (Gavin Long) is not from Baton Rouge or Louisiana for that matter. He's from Missouri. As these events become nationwide news, it brings along people with nothing but bad intentions to damage the local communities.

See, it would be a lot easier for police if guns were illegal. No need to ask for a permit first. If you see someone carrying a gun, get the swat team or whatever, no need to think about it.
