what do the protestors actually want?

[volsrock]

Protesters want to draw attention to injustice.
Rioters just want free TVs.

What injustice? He was charged

[Darth Omar]

that is what I said. next

Well, ‘next’ is Michael Brown was responsible for his own death.

It can’t be over stated how much credibility the SJW’s lost with Michael Brown. Hands up don’t shoot—is a bald faced lie.

You racists think it's ok to kill a black man. I've seen your type for decades. You're transparent.

The injustice is "apparent" racism.

That one stung, didn’t it.

What’s that mean?

Because Floyd is black it equals racism?

[jacksonsprat22]

Not really. You are the racist. Doesn't bother me.

Not to me, no not necessarily.

Not that I care that you’d call me a racist lol.

But what makes me a racist?

[Darth Omar]

Not to me, no not necessarily.

Well, why would it to anyone?

In a more perfect world, people would *wait* to see if there was a racial motivation in the cops actions.

Otherwise, the protests and rioting is over an idiot cop who killed a man who happened to be black.

Until recently, most people did not carry a camera. Black people telling whites they are being harassed by cops was hard to document. This Floyd case was well document with video. Without it, many would assume nothing was done improperly by the police.
Racists like yourself pretend there is not systematic harassment--not always--by police. The case of Michael Brown is typical of having no video. I never believed that a cop stopped him and he decided to try and murder a cop over a jay walking infraction. Not credible.

Well I have no idea. The black people have more insight than me. And I don't mean those dumb rioters.

the guy was arrested in like 3 days. he's been charged with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter with more charges pending. Almost everyone across america views this incident as awful. This isn't contentious like michael brown (who deserved to be shot because he tried to murder a cop after robbing a store) or trayvon martin, who viciously attacked a man breaking no laws. So like - everyone is on board with this one. THe president is on board. Teflon don is on board. we are all in agreement this guy shouldn't have been killed by cops. This should be a good thing we all agree. So what are protestors actually asking for right now other than the right to break shit? can someone explain?

FREE TVs...OBVIOUSLY......

[anatta]

FREE TVs...OBVIOUSLY......

free whiskey

This is one of those times in history where it might be good to just listen to what's going on, and try to figure out how we got here.

This was a powder keg waiting to be lit, on a national level. Why? What led up to this?

This doesn't happen for no reason. And people have been trying to explain it. To ignore it and not at least try to address would be foolish.
