https://youtu.be/SChztPtlGeQ this helps no one. Looters tried break into this jewelry store owner tries to stop and gets beaten up. These are the things people are going to see and question. How is this part of the justice for a man murdered by the police? How would this improve the image of black males?

Shocking video
Iâm on reddit. A lot. Itâs just fucking video after video after video after video of police being absolute fucking cunts. I can fully take it for granted that Iâm in the UK and not going to experience scenes on a similar level, but it doesnât make it any less distressing whatsoever. Itâs sickening, half of them I just canât even watch.
Same as it being sickening watching the (sadly few) videos on the Uyghurs being ethnically cleansed in China. There are too many âpowers that beâ in their completely immovable positions that these situations are fucking commonplace and seemingly canât be stopped. Iâm rambling because itâs late but yeah back to the thread, I want the tables to be turned, all these mindless thugs with badges and uniforms to face the same punishments theyâre handing out. Sure, the whole world could be blind by the old proverb, but a slap on the wrist just doesnât cut it frankly.
Nothing will change, unless black Americans stop feeling inferior to everybody else (and acting that way) nothing will change. Those black people need to get they houses in order first.
Plus this isnât a primarily race issue itâs made in to one whenever a black man gets killed by police, I mean ask yourself when was the last riot a for a white man being shot by police?
Oh letâs not forget destroying your community will prove what exactly? Worsen your standard of living, drive investment away, but donât worry itâs trumps America right lol and Ferguson didnât happenâŚ
These riots needless will do nothing and cause anyone that was thinking of helping think twice.
Edit: BLM is a Marxist movement and couldnât give a damn about black lives really, seriously how long has those clowns been around and nothing has changed.

Whataboutery, victim blaming and utter moronic stupidity, all in one post. Bravo, sir.
Reminds me of this complete weapon I saw on YT called Jesse Lee Peterson.

@SRCJJ realistically what are the changes you think need to be made and can be made in quick secession? For me this issue goes about as deep as possible.
First off we have a gun issue, and police are always on edge because at any moment someone can pull out a gun and kill them. The way police are trained is another issue. Regardless of race they are trained to be on high alert at all times which keeps them on edge. My wife has an extended family member (hispanic) who was an officer who shot his own son and killed him because he set off the house alarm late one night. They are basically brain washed in their training and it changes the entire composition of their brain, dunno if youâve ever met a cop or know one but they are fucking weirdos. There are a lot of instances of black cops killing ppl indiscriminately as well. Cops are a fraternity. The one solution Iâve heard that would definitely work is the outing of the known white supremacists within the police force that the FBI know about and have a list of, but even if thatâs done the root of the problem will still exist.
Of course George Floyd was a completely different situation, clear excessive force was used when there was no need for it. However the police shootings usually come born out of fear. There are stereotypes that play in to the way police view minorities, and mostly black ppl. Imo the biggest systemic issue we have is the inequality in wages and living conditions the black community face. We are seeing it with COVID-19 as an example of this as well. Meanwhile billionaires get richer and richer. Bernie Sanders has been basically speaking out against all of these things for ages and actually has a real plan yet he was kicked to the curb for Hillary and now Biden who, letâs face it, has 48 years of service and has a less than stellar record going to bat for the black community, and the craziest aspect of this for me is that it was mainly black democratic voters in the south that made this happen. These establishment candidates are never going to make a real difference for the ppl of this country, its maddening to see it play out like this

One change alone would revolutionise (I know youâd use a Z) American policing. Prosecute and find guilty all police that are proven to kill without a reasonable level of threat to their own life. Thatâs all.
If the cop thinks, wait a minute I could get life in prison for this versus Iâll get early retirement on a cushy pension, theyâll think differently.
Aside from that US cops, their training and discipline need reform.

Haha victim blaming I am sorry there is no victim; if a there is a trash community you call it out period; how can you be a victim when your own behaviour and way of life puts you in front of a bullet.
When black Africans migrate to America why is it they have better outcomes then the native black Americans and white Americans? Same for the Caribbeanâs. Clearly the problem is with black Americans and how they see themselves; itâs even more amazing how that mentality has been exported to other black people around the world unnecessarily.
Black Americans needs to clean its act quickly and stop being exploited by people that donât have any care for them.
Itâs rather simple:
. Reduce fatherless homes
. Reduce out of wedlock children
. Encourage education as a means to unlocking wealth
. Demonise negative cultural behaviours (like every other race)
. Stop asking for handouts
. Encourage a higher self esteem ( stop raising children to feel inferior to other children).
. Stop racially abusing your own community
. Stop the crabs in a bucket behaviour
This virtue signalling bs has done nothing and will do nothing, but make black Americans dependent on those who smile and pretend to care.

Btw are you black?
Have lived amongst poor blacks?
Have lives amongst poor people period? Have you been raised without a father and been 1 of many in a household surviving on benefits?
Have you grown up being told you are worthless?
Have you grown up being told the white man is out to get you?
Have you grown up being abused by people who look like just because you are smart and choose to study?
Have you any idea what it is like when 70% of you peers try their hardest to be a stereotype , and any deviation is called being white?
Do you what it is like to know people that has gone to prison for murder, robbery and drug offences?
Donât fucking tell me about whataboutism and all that bullshit.
I repeat again all this nonsense changes nothing if the group canât change themselves. Whatâs happening is a by product of a larger problem and all of this is just an excuse to blame other people for that.

What does any of that have to do with police murdering both black and white men who pose no apparent threat? And the fact invariably these murder charges donât result in conviction regardless of evidence? Or the issue of unnecessary police brutality generally?
Youâre the one doing whataboutism in this thread. You could make a new thread about elements of African American culture being at the detriment to self actualisation if you wish.
No victims? So George Floyd isnât a victim? This man, his girlfriend and daughter arenât victims apparently:
It has everything to do with it; think about it logically, if your chosen lifestyle and your upbringing cause you to constantly interact with police in a negative way what would think would happen.
Why the fuck are people removing accountability and treating black people like fucking children?
Victim of letâs burn it down.
So itâs Philando Castileâs fault he was murdered in front of his wife and daughter while reaching for his ID as instructed by the officer and itâs George Floydâs fault he got choked to death and not the officer, gotcha
This only proves my point.
More whataboutism from you. This thread is about the police murdering and brutalising people.
Do you not know how to make a new thread?
And stop acting like this only happens to black peopleâŚ
Youâre one of those people who think black pelple shouldnât focus on racism until they sort their own shit out.
Which is, quite frankly, fucking stupid.

What point is proven by this man being murdered?
I am actually; because at the end of the day for things to change you need to change whatâs around for people to look at you differently.
Why burn down and destroy you community what does it prove?
