What does being intoxicated have to do with placing your knee on someone's neck when they are motionless?
Meanwhile this is happening -- is there a thread for this one? ______ 7 people shot in protests over the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor, police say https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cn...eonna-taylor-911-call-audio/index.html?espv=1
Chief Arrandando was hired to bring change following the shootings of Jamar Clark, Philando Castile, and Justine Ruscyck. This is the fastest firing ever has ever happened regarding an LEO killing someone and that was before the looting. Not even LEO Noor was fired this fast for shooting a white women. Change is rarely fast and Arrandando hasn't been in office that long. He and the mayor were making progress. It's another sad irony that a mayor and Chief who really are sympathetic to the plight of minorities when dealing with the police are very likely not going to be around too long because of this.

You don't condone it but you're excusing it. You're clothing it with rationalities like "the language of the unheard." Yes I know MLK said that. He also preached non-violence.. Also you're just ignoring that many of those people rioting and looting aren't the ones who have been suffering oppression. You just don't concern yourself with them..
Are you saying that that riots aren't to be expected after four hundred years of the same lineage being suppressed? I'm not making a claim on whether it's a productive use of someone's actions or morally acceptable for an individual to riot. I'm asking you do you think it wasn't expected?
Kap and Antifa were a series of "attention grabbing statements". Mainly spooks watching youtube vids paid real attention for the wrong reasons. This is not Antifa btw.
Nope. This is what I am talking about people are gonna exploit these things, how the **** does the mayor know the shots came from within the crowd. I am scared whats gonna happen over the weekend too many people want a civil war.
man please stop this ****. You have the audacity to always question somebody else's good faith when you that's not what RJ is saying. What the **** is wrong with you?
How am I questions his good faith? I very well understand he's debating in good faith. What does a healthy debate look like in your eyes? How would you have worded my comment differently? I wasn't trying to confrontational and was expressing my take.
Dude he was not debating, you are the one questioning something to start a debate. Give it a rest. Do you not know how RJ feels on the topic? Everybody knows your take and nobody is really debating it, can you really not see what you are doing?
MLK preached much more than non-violence. His non-violence views weren’t the only reason he was unpopular during his life. MLK III has repeated his father’s stance on riots. I’d argue he knows his father better than either of us. I don’t know how it feels to be white, Asian or Native American. I can’t begin to tell you why some of them are looting. I don’t speak on things I understand. If you are curious, I’d suggest asking a member of those communities.
I've seen this quote mentioned a number of times today, and I have a purely philosophical question: does this apply to sports riots? Spoiler https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/gallery/notable-sports-riots-gallery-040212
No. Obviously context is required. Like the Pumpkin riots by white college students in Keene NH didn't have anything to do with being unheard.
New video appears to show three police officers kneeling on George Floyd https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/29/us/george-floyd-new-video-officers-kneel-trnd/index.html
Take it up with MLK. I'm pretty sure he was referring to more specifically rioting from surpressed groups. It's not a statement that applies equally to all context just like most philosophical statements.
Nope, but it does make that a more likely outcome than being heard and having actions to remedy the problems taken.
