Those that make it are seriously kings among mental midgets. Friend from college tried to join a police force and he tested too high and wasn’t accepted. He was basically told it was expensive to send people through training and if they are too smart they get bored and quit so it’s a waste of money. His dumbass aggy dropout friend made it.... 3 guys I grew up with had pretty well placed dads, a police lieutenant, a captain and a judge. It’s embarrassing how much shit we got away with.

I fully understand the outrage and the riots. I get it. Looting helps absolutely nothing. Jmo. I also recognize that this tends to happen during riots and involves a much smaller percentage of people than those who are protesting and “rioting.” It hurts the goal of those rightfully upset and demanding the perps (cops) be arrested and face justice. To be honest, the authorities/state/city government could have bypassed this shit by simply making an arrest. Enough time has elapsed since the incident that all witnesses/any other videos/etc...should have been done. The video speaks for itself. I do get you want to file the right charges etc so they stick but really what is the hold up on the arrests? Yeah, looting is shit.
May 28, 20205 yr People using this incident as an excuse to steal and vandalize is no better than cops using "resistance" as an excuse to murder.

They don't give a shit how much money anyone's making, they just want to be large and in charge. I was at an HEB near Spring Branch today - a cop in the parking lot was head to toe all black tacticool with a helmet and kneepads and the whole nine yards. They're just big boys excited to break out their big toys. ... And then use them on the bad guys, whoever they are.

Her 2 sons can't count to 10 and both have worked for the sheriff's department. 1 is in TDC now and the other has 2 felonies. They have been untouchable since I have k own them. They used to do a ton of shit that I know friends would have gotten fucked over for with probation or some shit and they always drove them home to her to deal with. They weren't good enough for the military (shocker) as I was a huge shit bag and served though. These are your fucking heroes Edited May 28, 20205 yr by Zepol87

May 28, 20205 yr I don’t care for the looting - that target and autozone represent a lot of people’s jobs.But again...pearl clutching over the looting sure gets fucking old.The forces of law and order purposefully and intentionally created a world where laws do not apply. They still haven’t realized that the approach of “oh, we just meant that the laws don’t apply to US. They still apply to you peasants” doesn’t fucking work. Tell people that the laws dont apply, then you’ve created a new order - rule of the fist/gun, instead of the rule of law.If the cops and people of Minneapolis want this to stop, it’s very easy to do. Make the laws apply to everyone. Including the cops. That’s it. That’s all that has to be done.

Small caveat: Target, Wendy’s, Autozone and any other business being looted did not murder George Floyd. im not a pearl clutcher and don’t care to be stereotyped or have my beliefs questioned. Just like many of you I would expect. I believe this was murder. I hope charges will be forth coming. I also believe looting is wrong. It solves nothing. Riots and protests I understand. Looting banks and AtMs I do not. Burning down businesses I do not. But looting and riots go hand and hand. Riots start because of a grave injustice. We have that here. Arrests still have not happened. And should have by now. Hopefully they are forth coming. im sure the looters would be fine with me looting their businesses or those of their family and friends because I am outraged that so many females are murdered by males every year that they have restraining orders against and those same women get no real help, if any, from authorities. If I thought that would bring about change I’d head to South Congress and hit as many businesses as I could.

May 28, 20205 yr Since it apparently doesn't go without saying: Yes, looting is wrong. However, bitching about the looting here is like standing in a burning house and commenting about there being too much clutter on the kitchen counter.

Rioters stealing shit as a reaction to an extrajudicial killing are in fact better than cops who kill a fully subdued, unarmed man and then call it resistance. Murder is inherently worse than vandalism and theft.

You are misinterpreting my comments, presumably because I don't rejoice in seeing rampant theft and destruction of property that's only connection to the original tragedy is a shared ZIP code. Nothing in my post equated the crimes. I equated the rationale behind them, as in, "I don't like what somebody said or did, so I'm going to use that as an excuse to do something heinous because I believe I can get away with it." My thoughts on the murder that incited this riot are clearly (to most, maybe not so much for you) expressed elsewhere in this thread, and I've never been hesitant to share my disdain for the bias and corruption that is prevalent in law enforcement and our criminal justice system as a whole. Target is a national chain and can recover from its losses. Mr. Floyd cannot; he is gone forever.
