Considering everyone is now out in close proximity protesting in american, specifically Minneapolis but of course other states.

It's gone from a typical movement against police brutality towards black people, to just chaos and rioting, lots of vandalism, people destroying their community. It's awful.

Mass peaceful protests are the only way.

No. Just learnt it's 'the white man's disease' so the criminals are immune whilst they loot,pillage and burn down their mate's 'stuff'.
If the second wave strikes who will be the first to complain that the government aren't doing enough to protect them?

One comment from a female black protester " America was built on the backs of black people so we have a right to burn it down"

[Spicerack]

I saw that woman speaking, Danny.
She spouted pure garbage from beginning to end. (to much applause)

"America was built on the backs of black people so we have a right to burn it down"

From what i've seen, it's mostly the small business that are getting done over.

We live in a world where trained cops can panic and act on impulse but untrained civilians must remain clam with a gun in their face.

once is unfortunate but seven ...... (*)
