what the fuck dude, you clearly dont know much about the LA riots.

policing drastically changed. Saying nothing changed in LA just makes you look stupid to anyone knowledgeable on LA and its history.


It actually changed culture after. It resounded throughout the 90's.

Damn I'm watching a live stream and some old white guy was running into people in truck

They said on the live stream that police had stopped him at one point and let him go. They've announced his license plate on the stream many times now.

Blah blah blah. You never have anything meaningful to contribute.


And when was the last time you ever have anything meaningful to contribute? In fact, when was the last time you even tried to not to look racist?

Ya, We, as a white person, were playing catchup after that.
My family was always not racist both of my parents came from the 60's civil rights movement.
....So Having said that, and ya, I'll take the heat, people seemed to double down on 'multiculturalism' in the 90's.

Side Note: I had listened to NWA for years before the Riots. Nothing about the riots surprised me.
I pretty much knew they were coming.

Im not black so I cant speak to the pain their community is feeling right now, and I also know peaceful protests have done jack shit for the last dozens of years, but this is just ruining the livelihoods of hundreds that had nothing to do with this...especially in the middle of a time when people are struggling financially more than they usually are :/

and sadly, I still dont see things changing in my lifetime. Police are far too entrenched in protecting their own, no matter how bad they may be, and the GOP are far too cartoonishly racist to ever do anything other than keep institutional racism firmly in place.

But whom ever this guy is , it is odd.

He is fighting with real protesters.
He is being sneaky.
He is dressed like he works in a Resident Evil Lab.
I am just glad someone recorded him.

Damn I hadn't seen the target burn down on my feed. This is insane.

I was watching the protestors hurl insults at the cops standing guard. One cop was getting it really bad. He was a heavy set guy who had all of the usual fat jokes tossed at him, but brutal and by many different people.

I'm tempted to do some filming tomorrow at the murder cops house. I should say from a very far distance. Don't want to get near anything sketchy.

I live really close to the murder cop and I can just walk over.

So you follow that racist.

  1. The woman in the will chair is not disable.
  2. She let a white woman go pass.
  3. She starts to try to stab black people.
  4. How is the BLM ? Riot
  5. A white guy put her her fiery temper.

I've been watching streams for the last few hours and I haven't seen the target burning at all.

They mentioned a fire in there earlier, but nothing lately. A lot of buildings are on fire though.

Possible that it is on fire, but I've missed it. Again, I have been watching for a few hours now.

Like wouldn't it be easier to just arrest him and not disclose the location where he is being held?

That looked like 40ish cops in that video for one home

the idea is to show the destruction on tv the next day and virtue signal about how the protesters are bar people and hopefully gain sympathy for the killer

That's not how the law works. We don't arrest someone and/or haul them away because people are upset. That would be mob justice. Investigations are ongoing.

@Houston

1) what makes you qualified to interpret US law? Show us your JD degree and/or US state bar card

2) if that were true nobody would be arrested ever until after charges have been brought, the police would have nothing to do but play duke Nukem and Bully and Thrill Kill until they got a phone call about charges being brought against someone

@darkprince45 NOW you comment?

You kept curiously silent when the news story was about the guy murdering someone by laying on his neck and going like shimmy shimmy for 8 minutes and enjoying it. I even tagged you.

now that the rioters are rioting, which is something wrong on their part NOW your come here to clutch your pearls and concern troll/sea lion? Give me a fucking break

We have to stop doing this. This is the fuel that people who dont want to focus on what the police did wrong are going to use to deflect from the situation.

The worse and more violent the protesting gets, the better for them, theyre going to make it all about the protest and the actual thing people are pissed off about will get lost in the weeds.

I don't think this is true

Wasn't the tear gas deployed because they were setting fire to cop cars?

I think setting fire to cars pushes it into riot territory
