When the police officers that murdered Breonna Taylor get charged for the bullets that didn't hit her but not the ones that killed her, people are going to get angry and white supremacists will stir up that anger with violence.

Maybe the protests will organically turn into riots. To say that every BLM protest was pushed further by white supremacistsis as daft as saying none were. And no amount of righteous anger should be used as an excuse to follow whoever gets it going. |

No one murdered the Taylor girl that is spreading misinformation in the thread.
The court in the county in which she lived have already decided on this case. Heed the law. |

Regardless of whatever the courts are currently saying, I think it could easily be called manslaughter. If I'm remember it correctly, the cops fired into a "blind spot" where she'd been standing, I think there was a partition or something? So was shot and killed by a cop, who wasn't intending to kill her?

Some opportunists will spoil things, some people will let their anger reign and considering the situation, I think that's very ****ing understandable, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of police departments are saying the same thing, that violence is often spurred on by extremist right wing and white supremacist people which is why most protests are peaceful, but they don't serve your purpose so you won't acknowledge them. |

Also murder is murder, if anyone tries to argue against Breonna Taylor's murder not being murder then they're doing so for racial reasons because they don't want to admit the police murdered a black woman and it's easier for them to believe the black woman did something to deserve it.
They burst into her house unannounced, shot her up and then arrested the boyfriend for making use of his second amendment rights to defend his home and his girlfriend against unknown intruders. Then, after months of people demanding justice for her, the state charges the officers for the shots that didn't kill her. |

Your list of links included people handing out leaflets and distributing stickers, putting paper in unwelcome places doesn't belong in the same conversation as rioting and looting. Unless you think they'd have behaved like human beings until they read some words on a bit of paper? I don't need to acknowledge peaceful protests because they were never part of the conversation riots and protests don't need to be lumped in with each other. |

I'm saying every individual is to blame for their own actions. They don't have to join in when things turn nasty, it's their choice to do so.

Essentially though it should not negate your right to support a movement because some people choose to break the law.
It does not detract from the the original sentiment or from your right to promote its core values.

I don't particularly believe the conspiracy theory that "all" or even a large number of the protests that turn into riots are because they were secretly infiltrated by white supremacists who lit the kindling. I'm sure it happens, but it will be a relatively small number of the total incidents, and we should be wary of buying into the "twitter detective work" showing sneaky shadowy figures frequently being behing civil unrest while everyone else was behaving themselves and would have continued that way. It's just overly convenient nonsense, really, and a bit too easy (when riots are widespread) to collect together a half dozen clips or examples of it happening and use those to suggest that it's happening in every case.

That's my thoughts on it really, rioting and looting are a standard symptom of civil unrest, be that people getting caught up in violence or people who have little care for the cause using it as a cover for looting, it's literally ALWAYS been a feature of large protests, you can see it in pretty much every ancient culture (Romans, Greeks et al) ... it's just what ends up happening. It doesn't change the reasons for the protest, nor lessen them, nor does it mean people shouldn't protest out of "fear" that a number of people will go too far. Lumping all protesters in with the percentage that are lighting fires and smashing windows is an easy way for those being protested against to shut the whole thing down. Essentially, if you're in power, you have to accept that if you have an angry and unhappy population they're going to start breaking **** and wailing about "personal responsibility" isn't good enough. Yes they have personal responsibility, no rioting is not a good idea, yes anyone looting should face legal consequences... but that doesn't change the fact that if you've got rioting and looting in your cities, the people in power have ****ed up. |

You keep going on about the evils of violence and vandalism but you are intent on scrubbing clean anything related to white supremacist violence and vandalism, of which there is a lot. Why are you so focused on minimising white supremacist incidents but you're so keen to amplify anything, whether it's true or not, that discredits and paints BLM in a bad light? You should ask yourself if you are stood on the right side of history in this matter. |

She was intentionally shot to death by police that broke into her home unannounced while she was asleep. That sounds like murder to me, might not sound like murder to someone intent on making out a paramedic to be a drug dealer just because she's black though.

Read what I said to Oliver and apply it to yourself. Ask yourself some serious questions.

Courts have got cases wrong many many times and even wrongfully imprisoned tons of people who then get convictions overturned So if you feel the case is closed then the thread probably isnt for you but you dont have the right to tell others what to think of it or not to discuss it etc Last edited by Josy; 26-09-2020 at 01:25 PM. |

Exactly, I hope the family can appeal.
