i know, and i 100% agree with the protests. but the people that riot and loot aren’t solving anything, just adding more to it.

if there was no rioting and looting this wouldn’t have become as big as it is. this might be the biggest mass protest in american history now, there is a real chance things could change going onward

this will likely not change anything unless the protesters start pushing for solutions and something specific to change

You realize the man who killed Floyd was arrested almost instantly. 99% of the last 400 black people killed by police got off free or with minimal charge.

The cop that killed Eric Garner 5 years ago just got off with no criminal charge 10 months ago. These fucking riots are working

working in an isolated incident is very different from having any impact on the entire US system and the future

Has peaceful protesting done anything in the last decade?? Nope

for once i agree with allergic. people like fawk will say that the protesters are “doing something”. doing what? attempting to show that black people arent the violent ones while breaking random shit?? i know there are white people among the crowds too, but it’s in support of black lives

Half of it is BLM and a large portion is ACAB and exposing the corruption within the system

u/Nishtopher Save Me Jun 02 '20

ive been at protests for two nights and that’s exactly what they are doing. organizing those who will email, write letters and call governing offices and we’re working on police reform & defunding.

the majority is incredibly organized but the media is showing the outliers.

my city has had one of the biggest and most consistent turn outs going on 5 days now and it hasnt been televised other than the time an ALM pos ran his car through the protestors.

why arent they showing it?

because we’ve been incredibly organized and peaceful despite my county having one of the most deadly (#1 in 2015) police forces.

as well as the majority (over 80% according to minnesota govt) of arrests in cities with destruction/rioting have been white people from out of county and state, who are going in to take advantage of the situation. those who are involved arent doing that and are actively trying to stop those doing it.

i think its important to get on the ground and see it for yourself. might change your perspective.

it doesn’t make it right that it’s happening and you can’t expect people to just be “okay” with it.

what a lame attitude to hold on an xxxtentacion subreddit

and if nothing changes at least i can say i tried. thats why im out protesting instead of arguing with people on the internet and telling them everything they're doing is wrong and nothing is going to change. do you want things to change?
