When they start looting they undermine their position

'A riot is the language of the unheard'. -  MLK
I thought he was anti violence, or is that just what they teach you in schools?
Now I wanted to say something about the fact that we have lived over these last two or three summers with agony and we have seen our cities going up in flames. And I would be the first to say that I am still committed to militant, powerful, massive, non­-violence as the most potent weapon in grappling with the problem from a direct action point of view. I'm absolutely convinced that a riot merely intensifies the fears of the white community while relieving the guilt. And I feel that we must always work with an effective, powerful weapon and method that brings about tangible results. But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.

Post tragedy threads on DDF have the sensitivity of an elephant walking over potato chips.

Protesters should not be shot. Looters should be tased and thrown in jail. they should prosecute each and every one of them. All these small Businesses getting looted have had a tough enough time without these left wing terrorists coming in and stealing everything. There should be a full military lockdown in all these cities until next century.
Nobody said anything should be done with protestors. Were talking about rioters.

This has nothing to do with race, police brutality or anything. These people out there rioting are animals. If you do not understand that, then you are part of the problem.  There's a way humans deal with these things, they protest peacefully, use the legal system etc. These people are looting target and apple stores because they are animals.

This belongs in the covid thread. Put certain segments of society in lockdown for 2 months with no outlets and then give them an excuse to vent their frustrations and what do you expect?
I think that's a stretch.
There's simply no excuse for this behavior.
He means to explain the behavior of the cop! You can`t judge him with Covid-19 I saw the most normal people in Beit Medrash turn into lunatics

This explains so much.
I assume you mean Biden caused it by saying “if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black”
So is that the narrative in the MSM? That Biden caused it?
Finally the truth is coming out!

I don't see whites rioting when there is non-white on white police brutality

What freedom and justice aren't met?

Ikr. If this was Israel they'd all be dead or in prison.

Have you ever seen a protest in Israel?

Which ones? The anti Zionist ones are not even close to as bad as this, unless you mean the violence from the Assam...

I fully agree, but what about people who feel, rightly or not, that they will not get justice groom the justice system.

This was only a quote.

Why condemn the CCP when we see this in the US?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
