you are deluded by Rupert Murdoch and right wing memes on facebook and 4chan
We had humvees and troops carrying assault rifles on the streets here in LA lmao
“Mostly peaceful tho” those troops are probably racists too for bringing assault rifles to a mostly peaceful riot
many of the protests that turned violent did so because of police instigation and aggression
now i'm angry that mcdonalds charge $3 for a mcdouble. those fuckers used to be $1
No they really didn’t, it was literally people destroying shit and looting because they wanted to destroy shit and loot shit LMFAO how do the police “instigate” a riot they’re literally there to contain riots
You are wrong. Have a blessed day.
“ By the end of June, at least 14,000 people had been arrested[3][36][37] and, by November 2020, 25 people had died in relation to the unrest. It was later estimated that between May 26 and August 22, 93% of individual protests were "peaceful and nondestructive"[38] and The Washington Post estimated that by the end of June, 96.3% of 7,305 demonstrations involved no injuries and no property damage.[39]Nevertheless, arson, vandalism, and looting between May 26 and June 8 were tabulated to have caused $1–2 billion in insured damages nationally—the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.[5][40]”
you’re talking about how I’m deluded by social media but you’re saying the police instigated the riots.. bro you literally live in Canada
Amazing, 14000 people arrested, national guard called in 30 states, 1-2 billion in property damage, yet they are mostly peaceful LMAO
get owned insom
You understand they were counting each day of protest across the country as a separate protest so there’s literally thousands of “individual protests” by this metric even if 60 people got together and marched down a street
oh boy he’s quoting arrest numbers
the police would never attack people and then make mass arrests right?
The main and largest protests were quite violent and destructive, how else did that much property damage occur
You’re saying the police were acting as some sort of political police, attacking protesters who were marching down the street peacefully minding their business and arresting them for literally no reason
Not at first they weren’t and that is the point
using brutal tactics against large and pissed off mobs of people is really less than ideal police work
it was happening here atleast
