Looting


Sadly some people are thieves and selfish. These criminals turn the occasion of a protest into a chance to steal. They do a great harm to the cause that the protestors are fighting.
By using the distraction to cover their wrongs they get a short term advantage, but end in tarnishing the protest. Sadly some minorities hurt the cause of protesting police brutal force and disrespect to minorities. So the thieves are feeding the racist lies that all minorities are dishonest criminals who deserve to be treated as animals.

Gandhi taught non-violent civil disobedience as a way to counter colonial rule in India. Only by the restraint and pure non-violence could the protesters retain the moral high ground. MLK, Jr. preached the same lesson.

Meanwhile Trump as always uses the crisis to drive people apart. Los Angeles showed we do not need the Federal Army to police the streets and enforce the curfew. The police deserve respect, but so do legit protestors of murder by police. Criminals deserve to be imprisoned for theft and vandalism. The criminals who set fire to cars and building risk a murder conviction if anyone is killed as a result of arson. Stupid acts can have very bad consequences. Their are cameras and cell phones recording the criminals as well as the police. There will be consequences for criminal behavior.

Hard to see clearly when there is so much smoke and tear gas around.

Terribly sad scenes McMust, my heart weeps for you all, and especially for black people. Have we not done enough to africans, do we need to keep this torture going just because of skin pigment?

I hope you're well, take care, stay safe!

People are only able to see and therefore understand up to their own level of empathy.

Trust is built on respect and justice for all. Sadly the history of the U.S. was stained by racism and white supremacy. We need all to succeed or we won't win in the long run.
Justice is not a fake news item to be touted, it is or is not real.
