Looting shooting and theft don't change anything.

Well done, arresting a looter in Detroit

Or maybe people think BOTH are wrong? Just because we disagree with one doesn’t mean we agree with the other. Very poor logic there.

The looters/protestors burning down businesses that innocent people have taken decades to build from hard work and determination is also extremely sad, and the people doing it are very pathetic. If they were solely targeting the police I could maybe (still wouldn’t agree) understand, but they’re targeting everyone, and so many innocent people are going to have to pay and now be in poverty whilst also dealing with coronavirus. These people are very selfish. Black people are losing their jobs and businesses also, feel like I need to put this sentence in as then you might understand that everyone is losing right now

You wouldn’t be saying that if you lost your business / career.

People have been losing lives, so to put someones business above someone else's life is bizarre. You're gong on like those business won't have the insurance to eventually get back up on their feet, but no dead people are eventually getting back on their feet. No black kids are going home tonight after being murdered by the state over a long period of time.

When have I put it above anyone’s life? I’m saying both are wrong, and two wrongs do not make a right, which many here seem to disagree with. We are in a middle of a pandemic, those businesses will struggle and never be the same again after this on top. I don’t see how burning innocent people’s workplaces / business and potentially endangering more lives Can be seen as a good positive thing that people have stated in here? I wonder how many people are now going to struggle to look after their families because of these protestors, and how many lives are going to be negatively impacted. Hopefully no one will end up killing them selves

A long list of maybes doesn’t make a building just as valuable as a human life

You wrote in an earlier post in this thread that the looting was harming the cause, so you're definitely valuing one thing more than the other, and it's not human life.

And to be fair you probably wouldn't be sating this if you lost a loved one at the hands of racial police brutality.

The demonstrations are a manifestation of frustration at the abhorrent way some black people are treated in the US.

What is the point of the term law enforcement or having courts if police officers don't follow laws, and kill individuals before they are put on trial?

This is the Chief of Police in Alanta, where took her time to go and speak and listen to what they had to say and she has refused to put a curfew out and has given permission for protests as she herself wants to see change.

We need more people in higher authority like her.

This woman has also worked with the Mayor of Atlanta to track down people missing from the protests

"We need more people in higher authority like her."


On that, I agree.
