    Re: Cops 7: What Could Go Wrong?

    Look around...most of the people there live just fine. I see almost as many black people as I do at a Wild Game

        I wonder if a tobacco store on fire smells really good or really bad.

          And that's the point, in one sentence. If you ignore the brutalization of people long enough, they will come after you. And yes, that's scary and unjust, and you've now felt for an instant what they've felt their whole lives.

          With that feeling comes either the empathy or the fear required to get people off their as-ses and finally change things.

          And that is why violence, horribly, works.
          So, let's burn a store down and steal tvs and liquor for...justice? Or something? Right? I understand the police station. I don't agree with it, but at least I get it.

          Edit: Kep: as a smoker, and enjoy the occasional cigar, that's a good question. Now I'll be thinking about that for the next day or two.

                The footage is raw. That's what I like. Major news can pick and choose, edit, etc. This is just some guy filming stuff.

                  The looting is looting: put stuff the Poors can't get next to the Poors and taunt them and the Poors will try to get it. You know how our whole economy is really just a mutual agreement of value and trust? Well, these Poors don't share that agreement - they think it's bullsh-t.

                    And you don’t seem to understand what it’s like having stores looted and communities coming apart at the seams a mile from your house, less than a mile from where your wife has to work and drive home through.

                    You never answered MNS earlier how you’d feel if your daughter’s neighborhood was next. It’s all an academic game for you until it’s knocking at your door.

                    We get it, we’ve all failed to address the inequalities. But what you don’t seem to get through that thick academic skull is that a lot of us are trying to make things better. We might have time to protest this weekend for police oppression of minorities. Maybe we can pencil it in after the LGBTQ March next weekend or the protest to protect the environment next Tuesday or maybe between the boycotts of companies stomping down the unions. My god, our entire schedule is full. I should probably pencil in some time for food and sleep. Maybe that Soros check will come through because I’ll have to quit my job with this kind of schedule.

                    We donate time and money, we support causes through social media, we make sure to vote in politicians who can make a difference. We’re doing everything we can while still trying to make it through life ourselves.

                          The one that said that people "allowed" them to do that? No. You have a choice. You could have protested peacefully. Instead, they burned down where they live. THEIR choice.

                          A BIG common thread of thought I've been seeing is don't just the protesters by the actions of a few. I wish I could say that the rioters had the same thought of others.

                              Not deliberately, I didn't see it.

                              First of all, the instant this stuff started I'd have told my daughter to leave. This is not a place anybody needs to be right now. What would you tell somebody if a forest fire was bearing down on their house? Stay on principle?

                              And if she couldn't leave I'd be on a flight to go physically remove her; she can complain to me about her agency later.

                              But none of that has anything to do with the situation, it has to do with the personal, and that's not truth or goodness, it's way more important. You keep confusing what you want with what is right and seem to need to claim what you want is what is right. Well, it isn't -- what you want is what you want and that's enough. So if you want to go shoot rioters to protect your family then you go do that. Be comfortable with what you want; just don't confuse that with ethics or good.
