Nothing ever changes. Half the people blame the alleged perp, the other half blames the police. Then protests happen, which always lead to riots and looting. The police use this as an excuse to militarize even further then everyone settles down, forgets everything (except the family of the alleged perp that died and the unfortunate business owners who have to recover from destroyed businesses), and life is back to normal.

Until a dumbass police officer does something monumentally stupid again, which repeats the cycle.

You should read about the Stonewall riots. That might change your mind.

My point is, nothing will change because there are always assholes. We've gone through how many unfair treatment of minorities?

That's different in the fact that there were anti-gay legislation. There is no anti-minority legislation; it's a matter of training, inherent biases, etc.

Please read about the stonewall riots. People arent trying to change one instances of police brutality but multiple instances. Riots actually work to elicit long term change.

Which is stupid and more harmful, because as I expressed in the OP, it just gives more excuse for the police to militarize.

Literally did not lead to riots. Those are positive examples, but I don't think it led to any actual changes either.

I can't believe there are people here defending riots and property damage of innocent people. What is wrong with you people?

Sometimes I like to ask CE to interact instead of just doing a simple Google search. >_>

Not just defending, advocating. What's wrong with them is that they are complete psychopaths.
