			Thugs and idiots looking for an excuse to loot.  Many of them didn't get the memo that the police officer who shot the armed man was black.

			I dont know why we dont just abandon courts, evidence jurys lawyers and judges and just watch video snippets of alleged crimes etc and then post about it on twitter, if enough people are outraged then we lynch the person involved?

			Concluding?  Exactly.  You've come in very much toward the end of the story.  Are you gonna explain to the forum what has happened so far or do you want them to only comment on the civil unrest and rioting?

			Thats not what you said.  I dont see any post where you refer to Tulsa  but if you insist you were referring to the Tulsa shooting then thanks for clearing that up.

			Conflicting stories. Family says he was reading a book and cop says he had a gun. There are corrupt black cops too- at times influenced by their white colleagues. As a movie reference the black cop in straight outta Compton. Still doesn't change the fact that a lot of cops act on fear and racial profiling.

			But you don't post everything about it. I personally would prefer if you left this subject alone and stopped posting threads about it because we already know where you stand but well...
