i like how they felt the need to list the guy's "criminal record" in the article


They do that for every black person that is killed by a police officer or in police custody. They need to criminalize and dehumanize black people to let everyone know that their death was justified.

but i was watching CNN when those kids just got out of highschool and started, the media only portrays the violent ones and the opportunists who are taking advantage of the situation and don't really care


They have those at every single protest white or black.


yeah i know but in these protests CNN will never show the peaceful ones, I was watching for like 2 hours and i only saw violent igant ****as on the TV for the most part


It's like that on every news network because the moment that a small amount of blacks show their they have to exploit it because they don't want to come to terms with the fact that THE THAT THEY MURDERED ANOTHER BLACK PERSON FOR NO GOD DAMN REASON.

They're lucky that all they are doing are looting and cutting up firehoses.


Togepi i like you and we'll probably never see eye to eye on this, but I can't support when black people protest because literally nothing comes out of the protests other than white people laughing at black people and further validating stereotypes against black people. Destroying a city that you live in accomplishes nothing, throwing rocks and objects at pigs no matter how much they deserve it cannot bring any justice it'll just cause civil unrest and hurt whatever is left of the relationship between police and citizens of the community more. 15 police officers being hurt does nothing other than make them bring out the riot squad tonight, pepper spray and tear gas peaceful protesters.

You can be angry but you gotta be smarter and mourn smarter than destroying a city and looting stores at the end of the day.

And if I see one more damn post about "MLK Jr. wouldn't have supported this!" I am going to scream. MLJ Jr. was pretty much down on his knees slurping at the genitals of white America to get black people civil rights and he was still murdered so I don't want to hear it.


If the actions of an individual is representative of an entire race, then it is justified for the police to be more brutal towards blacks because they have higher homicide rates. You can't have it both ways.


But the actions of one individual does NOT represent an entire race... you're basically saying it's okay for police to senselessly murder blacks because we have higher black on black murder rates? Um no...it's not okay. Especially when we have to look at the police as a type of role model...protect and serve ammiright?


yeah but not all police are bad is what im saying!!! there r still good people out there. hope. i still totally agree with ur point tho but like ya


please stop.

Police are just playing a game with us. You probably don't understand because you're not a minority and you live comfortably and can sleep at night because you don't have to worry about getting shot by the police who ride the subway on your way to school.
