I am not saying it is the responsibility for peaceful protestors to stop bullshit looters, nor are they responsible for it. At some point it is all our faults for allowing it to happen. It is our fault because a lot of us are looking for bullshit #whataboutism situations that verify some slanted view when this kind of attacks on citizens is justifiable. We all know Floyd should not be dead. We all know what happened in front of the whitehouse was total bullshit on bible photo day. We all know that tons of situations call for police use of force and some do not. We all know the answer is to get it to stop. So why have these threads justifying bullshit. Just put on your damn sneakers and go stand with your fellow citizens. Stop the racist bullshit. Try to change the system, and then when we do, fight for constant revisions to be made to the changes. We need to constantly evolve on how we continue to march towards a more perfect union.

For instance, war on drugs and mandatory minimum sentences was a reasonable reaction to the state of affairs when folks were getting killed in broad daylight for 40 bucks to buy crack. The biggest flaw in the system was that we set that process and then left it. We didn't adjust for the injustice we were seeing. Crime went down, but a bunch of citizens over paid their price.

So stand with the Floyd protestors. It is our duty as Americans. Denounce all looting and anarchy. Both can and shall be achieved. It is our duty.
It is not about race, it is about the destruction of America. The media and the left wing are trying to make it a race issue and IT IS NOT! Did you know in 2019, according to national news, that 28 people were killed at the hands of police and of those 28, 9 were black people and 19 were white people? Percentage wise, 2X (200%) as many white people died at the hands of police than blacks. Where is the outrage for the white deaths? The left's narrative that blacks are being targeted is total bullshit, the numbers speak for themselves. ALL LIVES MATTER dammit! We are all HUMAN BEINGS regardless of skin color!
