...people are being assaulted in the street, businesses are being burnt to the ground and livelihoods destroyed, etc.
is that as bad as having your spinal cord 80% severed while in police custody (the people who are sworn to "protect and serve") and then being denied medical treatment for a prolonged period of time, ultimately resulting in death?
oh, and that's just one example of the police brutality that people are protesting against.
Do you think rioting and looting helps the cause of those 4000 or so protesters? Seriously.
do you think it is wise to judge an entire race by the actions of a small percentage of that race?
you said we should regard all the black people in the community of baltimore as violent criminals based on the actions of a scant 2% of their actions right after an event that symbolizes the brutality that they have faced at the hands of the people who are supposed to serve and protect them.
do you honestly feel like that is the hill you want to try to take here?
.... all of those people protesting, pretending to all of a sudden give a shit....
so you think black people in baltimore or new york or ferguson are just pretending to be outraged by decades of police brutality?
jesus fucking christ, you are digging yourself quite a fucking hole here.
[if they] voted, their situation might be a little better.
blacks voted at a higher rate in 2012 than white people did.
but yeah, blame the victims of police brutality. even though they voted in greater numbers than whites did.
jesus fucking christ.
