    I disagree... but I still think we have a damaged system where bad police aren't held accountable.

    to be clear i think police officers should not be allowed to unionize because policing as currently set up is untenable in general... if i were waving a magic wand, the public employees who filled the various roles police currently fill would be union

    John McCain campaigned on extending the Iraq War for 100 years and sang "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" on the Senate floor.


    Obama saved millions of lives in the Middle East.

    It is random tho in a sense it follows a systematic criminal process. Riots = looting. This is like letting pirates free 1000 years ago because the criteria to raid a village fell in place

    I meant in a sense of a group of people plotting to rob a store for nothing more than gaining the goods.

    I see this as a f--- you to a capitalistic society that values a PS4 over a black mans life.

    obviously, there are some bad apples in the bunch that are doing it for selfish reasons, but they are helping the cause whether they know it or not.

    I think that’s a lot different then say, a normal Sunday afternoon where everything in the world is about as average as can be, and a group of people destroy a target for no reason.

    I heard WPG franchises a Target and is just trying to collect insurance money on a poorly performing store. Sad.

    I believe in setting goals and follow through. You cant build a railroad if workers dig for gold randomly

    people are split. The fact they are split weaken the cause. The cause is injustice, thats it. There should be no other room for doubt in anyones mind or the union of people fall. I understand why poor out of a job ppl would support looting because they see themselves doing it. But general educated public should not support it

    Also this is what i meant by systematic robbing. We created a system where robbing is fine

    it should be a crime always. No matter what
