It’s truly amazing to see who is “team riot & death” and who is “team law and order” here at gE.
WTAF is wrong with you but jobs?
Which team was Derek Chauvin on?
Just when I think you couldn’t be any dumber, you go and prove me wrong. Congrats!!
Same team as you.
Yeah these judgmental, double standard pieces of crap do not have a clue.

What about this guy Tsolid?
I'd love to play the game of trading stories of shitty things done to cops with shitty things cops have done to others, I'll win. Wanna play?
I'm sure you would win and unfortunately I think that's a moot point. I have an issue with people thinking that violence and killing is the way to go about change.
Are you familiar with the history of this country, hell of the world? If people in the position of power were interested in change and reform, it would have happened already. Honestly, the last night I was starting to waver about how I felt when I saw what was happening in LA, but seeing all of these videos of cops in this midst of this, behaving like thugs who know there are no repercussions for their actions, I've swung to the extreme. I want fires, I want violence, I want bloodshed. I want whatever is needed to make people realize that sweeping change is essential, not recommended or suggested. What has happened so far has clearly had no effect. We've gotten no public arrests of all of these cops assaulting citizens.
The problem is the killing of black people is a distraction. It is what happens when their everyday behavior of brutality and abuses of power take it one step farther. Something extreme has to happen to make you all listen, none of this crap is new nor are the grievances of the behavior.
I may or may not be as familiar with these things as you but please don't paint your broad brush of no one ever having interest in making change or reform. This diatribe of all cops are "thugs" and will never suffer a repercussion is total b.s. and you know it. If you think that fires and violence and bloodshed is the answer, more power to you. I can appreciate someones conviction to a point but hope you will suffer the consequences if you participate in such anarchy. I think it's funny that it's so easy for you to crap on bookie and call him names when some of your beliefs in what needs to happen in your eyes maybe aren't so different or "insane" than his?
Something extreme might need to happen to stop this reprehensible behavior but all these dolts who haven't done crap other than pound on their keyboard and paste twitter feeds and express their is laughable. I honestly haven't heard much on this thread at all other than approval of riots/violence to "wake up" those people who can make a change. It's a joke.
I'll start with what I bolded. Are you rough ridin' crazy? Jesus, only 1/4 of George Floyd's murders have even been convicted. We've seen protesters and looters arrested, how many of the cops assaulting protesters, journalists, or even people just rubbernecking have been arrested?
I don't think fires and bloodshed will be the answer because it won't be able to be done long enough to get the attention of people like you to take it seriously. It's actually going to take a war to get the criminal justice and social justice reforms needed to make all citizens of this country feel safe and protected. Given that's not going to happen, I guess we're stuck. Stop acting like police brutality and racial injustice are new concepts are new. The time for talking has long past because you actually aren't interested in anything that has been said for literally hundreds of years.
Bookie has come no where close to advocating anything that I am. Again, if you think I'm crazy or whatever, I couldn't care less, you can't even read.
Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe you think that because I called you out on wanting to be violent and create bloodshed and I don't? I don't think that's the route. Then you have the balls to say that I think police brutality and racial injustice are new? Go eff yourself bud. You have no clue who I am or what I think. Project that crap on someone else.
If you think having a war is what it's going to take to change things then yes, I think you're crazy. Btw, that's what Bookie thinks needs to happen for his convictions to come to fruition (lol). I read fine bud. Maybe you're the one with the comprehension issues?
Why do I have to know who you are? You don't know me either, what's your point? I don't care about you calling me out, I don't know you or care about you, I've said this more than once. I also don't care about bookie, I don't know if you keep bringing him up because you want to shame me, but that won't work, at all.
What I do know is that a revolution in this country has never happened without bloodshed. Meaningful police reforms have never happened. It took a civil war for my people to be freed from indentured servitude. It took another 100 years and millions of the people lynched before there was civil rights legislation. It took the murder of three civil rights workers to get the voting rights act, which has essentially been gutted since. It took multiple assassinations and riots to get further civil rights legislation. I don't know what you have to continue to not seeing that makes you think just sitting by waiting for white men to do the right thing is a dead end.
There literally has been no positive movement in 55 years, this is completely inarguable. I don't know why this hurts you so much, nothing is going to happen anyway.
