    https://www.newsweek.com/chicago-looting-riots-officer-shooting-police-1523909

    Police shot a black guy who was shooting at them, hitting one officer. Riots happen. Practically no pretense going on here; probably half a dozen black people shot other black people this day too.

    Does anyone here believe that these protests about police are not just a pretense to loot and attack random people? There is no statistical evidence to back up claims of police racism and the cops are all wearing cameras on their chests all the time. Even Fentanyl Floyd was not what it was presented to be.

    I saw some livestream footage tonight of a guy stealing 8 boxes of nike shoes.

    A security guard was shot.

    2 fat girls knife fighting.

    The police are standing by doing nothing but public transportation into the area has been shut off.

    Apparently its been radio silence from the leftist Mayor.

    Whatever “justice” was owed to black people, that currency has been more than spent through all of the looting and destruction they have caused. The best thing they can do for themselves and the country is to start acting like citizens of this country instead of something special and separate.

    their skin color doesn’t matter any more than anybody else’s. They need to get over themselves so we can start healing this nation, and they can start fixing the real problems in their communities and stop using the “white cops” scapegoat.

    of course, the politicians will keep fanning the flames, and reinforce the absurd notion that black people are victims here. It doesn’t matter that the criminal was actually shooting at police. Somehow the cops were being racist. Of course.

    so much BS.

    So a small portion of black folks acting a fool is equal to 400yrs of oppression black folks have suffered. Smfh.

    IMHO decades of welfare payments should count as reparations, not that we should ever give them out. After all, the end game argument in reparations is that all of the white people move out of the US and back to Europe.

    All sympathy is gone, and Im done.

    As for politicians fanning the flames-that obtunded fool Biden yesterday was tweeting about Michael Brown-the thug that tried to pull a cops gun out of his holster, who then charged at the cop and was rightfully shot.

    It led to widespread riots.

    What the hell is it that the black community it’s wants?? They were already treated as equals, and have been for decades. Black people are celebrities and politicians, scientists, doctors. the doctor that is doing surgery on my wife in a couple weeks is black. You have all the opportunities as anybody else. It is up to blacks to take advantage of them. Whether or not they take advantage and are represented in certain areas is totally up to them.

    Same goes for crime. If you want to lower the statistic of black crime and black people being arrested, stop committing crimes. It’s that easy. Those who end up dead have no one to blame but themselves. Blaming others is just ripping the country apart and making things even WORSE for the black community. None of this is helping anybody. None of this is healing any rifts.

    The past is the past. There is nothing anybody can do to change what happened. Acknowledge that it happened, then move on. Live in the present, and for the future. Stop thinking in terms of being the black race and think in terms of being the human race. There is only one race.

    Small portion or not its still a big problem, and its nationwide.

    Where are these thugs parents? Why aren't they in bed getting ready for work?

    The only way the black population will improve its lot is if it tackles this head on and gets real about it.

    Its sure as hell not going to come from Joe Biden.

    WRONG.

    The only way to even have a chance to flip the script on this sort of Civil Unrest (which is happening in Trump's Ametica) is to get rid of the source (Donald Trump) by voting him out.

    This is 100% on Trump.

    Trump's Politics of Division are the root cause of this.

    Biden 2020.

    Real EQUALITY.
    On paper we do.
    In some cases.
    Whites commit more crime so why isn't that said of whites?
    So when someone is unjustly murdered we should just turn the other cheek or just keep our mouths shut. We learned that doesn't work.
    That's easy to say when you were not on the receiving end of it.
    Funny how you guys make it about race when it comes to crime, welfare, etc.

    Meh in Chicago last night almost everyone I saw was black. Frankly most of the straight up looters have been, certainly in LA.

    With antifa and the "peaceful" protesters it seems to be that there are a lot of whites.

    No body else is going to do it for you.

    Yeah that's gonna go well.

    Years ago they did that in California and people just bought a bunch of old guns and turned them in for a profit to buy more.

    You are just too funny. Normal people have watched the Democrats go off the deep end since 2016. When they vote, they will remember ALL the misery that the Dems have caused because they are infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome. They have tried and failed to stop Trump at every turn. They look and act like crazy fools. BTW Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson were big time racists...(and Democrats)

    That's Chicago, we have seen uprisings from coast to coast. The Wendys in the Rashard Brooks case was burned down by a white woman.
    Where their parents?
    If you would get out of the way we could do it.

    This has ZERO to do with BLM.

    It is an organized flash mob that knows that Chicago doesn't have enough police and that nobody will stop them.

    So a bunch of radical leftists are destroying the Democrat-run cities where they live because of the Republican President they hate?

    That seems kinda dumb.

    Can you explain to me the logic behind that?
