I don't expect the protests to stop until the other officers are arrested. The looting is crazy and being done by trouble makers who don't care about what has happened. There are so many videos online of people stopping them. And a lot of actual protesters are getting attacked and arrested.

^^^I actually think mfs gone be RTG come sentencing.....watch
If that joker gets acquitted.....it's gonna be riots again
I doubt they will arrest the others until they can get something on the books like conviction/sentencing for the ring leader
I have a friend saying they're protesting in his city right now tonight despite the curfew. I guess it will be hard to toss hundreds of people in jail at once

Anyone saying riots don't ever work needs to pick up a damn history book (https://soletstalkabout.com/2020/05/28/how-to-respond-to-riots-never-solve-anything/?fbclid=IwAR0rI0N3CRPcjqh-dPHW5sjNND44f1U0XwKm0nohR58qPECVuYzZy278liM)
Yes it sucks there has to be violence and small businesses suffering. (I don't have sympathy for big corporations, they have insurance to cover damages like this) But y'all had a problem with people protesting peacefully and trying to nicely ask before. Kneeling during National Anthem, people had a problem. Spreading the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag has always been a damn controversial opinion. Now people are sick of asking nicely while they're being slaughtered like animals by the hands of law enforcement that is supposed to protect us, and they've been stuck inside with not much else to lose. This was a long time coming. Historically, riots work. I hope we see change soon before more innocent people have to suffer.

Watch this and tell me there is no need for some type of reform. Police and National Guard patrolling neighborhood and shooting rubber bullets at civilians on their own property (https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/gtsaam/please_make_this_go_viral_i_am_begging_you_police/). Yelling "light 'em up!" at people just sitting on their own porches.
We are all sex industry workers, don't think for a second most police would defend you help you in any way shape or form. Cops have raided strip clubs and arrested LEGAL WORKERS for the stupidest, most minuscule reasons. Taken advantage of so many. We need to stand by BLM. There needs to be law enforcement we can all rely on to not harass, harm or murder us in cold blood.

Omorosa
Ben Carson
and Greg Cheadle
Voted for him, supported him, worked for him cause they Thought they would get a genuine mentor or that MAGA *really* loves fine African Americans but quickly realized that dude used them like disposable pieces of trash to further HIS agenda and didnÂ’t give two fucks about them.
Now they out here writing books about how “racial” he is and how they left the GOP.
Omorosa ? He kicked her to the curb YEARS ago ! Who is Greg Cheadle ? The guy who left the Republican Party and is running as an Independent ?

Has anyone looked at Ferguson lately? It has not started to recover from the rioting of several years ago while OBAMA was President. Neither has Baltimore. Newark never did from the 1969 riots nor Detroit from 1967. South Central still hasn't recovered from the '92 riots.
A lot of the businesses lost are/were MINORITY owned. And employed a lot of minorities.
Eric Garner was killed while DeBlasio was Mayor. Freddie Gray died with a black , Democrat Mayor of Baltimore.
Protests are fine. Riots , violence and looting do nothing except generate" law and order " backlash which helps …. wanna guess ? …. TRUMP ! The prime victims of the riots are blacks. It is their businesses that are being destroyed. Their jobs. Their communities.
Btw, the Boston Tea Party was strictly limited to a few hundred cases of tea. There were no riots or any other destruction. And
Boston paid dearly when the British closed the entire port in retaliation.

Factually delinquent? Trump's racism is well documented. I posted multiple examples of it.
No. You posted things that Trump has said that you don't like and don't agree with. Having never met or spoken to the guy you've labeled him a racist.
I won't dispute you on the "birther" silliness. I thought it was dumb and had been refuted too many times to count.
Some illegal immigrants do commit crimes in this country. Many after having been deported several times. Just how tolerant of vicious criminals do we have to be to avoid being labeled a racist ?
Some neighborhoods in this country are crime infested and rat infested. I've seen and been in many of them. I've also been in many beautiful middle class black neighborhoods with well maintained properties and low crime. It has much more to do with class and income than race. Crime rates and rat infestations are FACTS. What did Obama do about it in EIGHT years ? Or the Democrat governors and mayors in charge of these places ?
As for "invasions" of illegal immigrants, have you forgotten the caravans of illegals trying to crash our Southern border ? If they come here illegally why can't we call them invaders ? What do you think we should call them ? Uninvited guests ?
Many of Trump's policies toward illegals were simply continuations of OBAMA policies regarding same including separating children from their illegal immigrant parents or those pretending to be their parents. You're not claiming Obama was a racist ? Or Bernie when he complained about illegals displacing American born workers ? Obama deported record numbers of illegals. That didn't make him a racist , did it ?
Some countries in Africa , Asia and Latin America are not very desirable places to live. Have you seen the favelas of Rio ? Tijuana ? Parts of the D.R. ? Asian rivers choked with plastic and other garbage ? Same thing in Africa and Latin America. The residents themselves call many of these places "shitholes ". What are they ? Self hating racists ?
Trump is such a racist that he increased support for historically black colleges that Obama cut.
Black unemployment pre-Covid was at a record low level. So was black business ownership. Same for Latins and Asians.
Covid-19 originated in China. Not Forest Hills. The Chinese government lied and misled the world for months. Shouldn't they be called out for that ? Trump hasn't blamed the Chinese people nor has he blamed Asian Americans. Unless , according to you , he and he alone is responsible for every stupid thought , idea and action of any and all Americans. Can I blame Obama for every dumb , failed liberal idea ? For every dumb thought and action by any and all Black Americans ?
For the result of every riot that occurred while Obama was President ?
There is no doubt that Trump says and tweets some awful things. I don't like the guy or his bombastic style. I just don't think he is a racist and even if he is in his heart of hearts, so what ? So was Harry Truman ; LBJ ; and arguably Joe Biden when he opposed busing. Trump's policies have not been racist.

Most Hispanic illegal immigrants are not violent criminals. Implying they are, is racist.
Some neighborhoods in this country are crime infested and rat infested. I've seen and been in many of them. I've also been in may beautiful middle class black neighborhoods with well maintained properties and low crime. It has much more to do with class and income than race. Crime rates and rat infestations are FACTS. What did Obama do about it in EIGHT years ? Or the Democrat governors and mayors in charge of these places ?
Trump's standard response to any African-American in Congress who criticizes or condemns him, is to talk about how they're districts are crime-infested, rat-infested ghettos, even representatives from middle-class districts. When speaking to an African-American audience during his campaign, he asked, "what do you have to lose?", " “You live in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs.” He seems to think all black people live in impoverished, crime-infested neighborhoods. Most don't. That's probably one of the reasons he refused to rent apartments to black people in the 1970s.
Before Trump starts referring to black neighborhoods as "rat infested", he should clean up his own rat-infested properties.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-rants-against-rat-infestation-while-his-properties-are-health-code-horror-shows
When white supremacists were violently rioting in Charlottesville, Trump said, "there were very fine people on both sides". When black football players were peacefully protesting racism and police killings of unarmed blacks, Trump said he wished the owners would "get that son of a bitch off the field".
As for "invasions" of illegal immigrants, have you forgotten the caravans of illegals trying to crash our Southern border ? If they come here illegally why can't we call them invaders ? What do you think we should call them ? Uninvited guests ?
They're seeking asylum. "Invasion" implies military take over. After Trump repeatedly called these people seeking asylum, "an invasion", a right-wing extremist murdered 12 Jewish worshipers in a synagogue. His reason for murdering them was because a Jewish organization was helping Hispanics from Central America invade the US. There have been over 50 violent crimes tied to Trump's rhetoric. There were zero tied to Obama and Bush.
Many of Trump's policies toward illegals were simply continuations of OBAMA policies regarding same including separating children from their illegal immigrant parents or those pretending to be their parents. You're not claiming Obama was a racist ? Or Bernie when he complained about illegals displacing American born workers ? Obama deported record numbers of illegals. That didn't make him a racist , did it ?
No they were not. Obama did not have a policy of kidnapping children from parents. Obama's policy was to make every effort to keep families together, and he did not have thousands of children kidnapped from their parents. Children were only separated when there was no other alternative, such as if their parent or parents were violent criminals. Trump made it standard policy to take children from the parents of every person attempting to enter the country across the border or to seek asylum. His only intent was cruelty. Thousands of children were kidnapped, and in some cases were never returned. Obama followed the law and never held children in detention for more than 72 hours. Trump has held children in cold, overcrowded detention centers for weeks or months at a time. No children died in custody when Obama was in office. There have been multiple deaths of children under Trump. There is no such thing as an "illegal". "Illegal" is an adjective, not a noun.
Some countries in Africa , Asia and Latin America are not very desirable places to live. Have you seen the favelas of Rio ? Tijuana ? Parts of the D.R. ? Asian rivers choked with plastic and other garbage ? Same thing in Africa and Latin America. The residents themselves call many of these places "shitholes ". What are they ? Self hating racists ?
He was clearly making a generalization of all countries made up primarily of blacks and/or Hispanics. He also used Norway as an example of a country he wants people coming from. I'm sure skin color had nothing to do with it. What difference does it make what the condition of a country is, in regard to whether or not a person from that country should be allowed to enter the US? Overall, immigrants from Africa have a higher level of education than the overall US population.
https://www.newamericaneconomy.org/press-release/immigrants-from-africa-boast-higher-education-levels-than-overall-u-s-population/
Trump has made it very clear, he doesn't want people of color coming into our country. That's about as racist as one can be.
Trump is such a racist that he increased support for historically black colleges that Obama cut.
Black unemployment pre-Covid was at a record low level. So was black business ownership. Same for Latins and Asians.
I don't know if that is true, and even if it is, it had little to do with Trump. From 2010 - 2016, the unemployment rate went from 10% to 4.5%. Trump supporters act like it was some kind of economic miracle that the unemployment rate fell from 4.5% to 3.5% over the next 3 years. That most likely would have happened regardless of who was in the White House.
Many of Trump's policies have been detrimental to the black community, especially poor blacks, such as proposed cuts to WIC, repealing ACA, which many blacks depend on for their health insurance, overturning environmental regulations, which often disproportionately harm poor people.
Covid-19 originated in China. Not Forest Hills. The Chinese government lied and misled the world for months. Shouldn't they be called out for that ? Trump hasn't blamed the Chinese people nor has he blamed Asian Americans. Unless , according to you , he and he alone is responsible for every stupid thought , idea and action of any and all Americans. Can I blame Obama for every dumb , failed liberal idea ? For every dumb thought and action by any and all Black Americans ?
For the result of every riot that occurred while Obama was President ?
Trump knows many Asians are being harassed and blamed for the virus, and referring to the virus as the "Chinese virus" is only go to incite more hate and violence.
Trump lied and misled the American people for months. In Feb. he said there are only 15 cases and soon there will be zero. There are now more than 100,000 deaths.
There is no doubt that Trump says and tweets some awful things. I don't like the guy or his bombastic style. I just don't think he is a racist and even if he is in his heart of hearts, so what ? So was Harry Truman ; LBJ ; and arguably Joe Biden when he opposed busing. Trump's policies have not been racist.
Most people do, especially black people. I don't care if a president is racist in private. What I care about are his words and actions in public, and his policies. Truman desegregated the Army. LBJ got civil rights legislation passed, that probably nobody else could have done. Trump has been hostile to people of color before he even took office, and has continued since.

Truthfully, I'm really surprised that there hasn't been a lot more political argument here on SW this past year or so. So I want to thank you all for staying cool, relatively speaking.
As moderator, I'm supposed to close and/or delete all political threads to prevent divisive and unnecessary argument on a stripper support forum.
However these are really unusual and hard times, and maybe we all needed to blow off some steam. So I'm leaving this up for now, and not deleting any of the reported posts in the interest of not targeting any one side for censure.

Btw, the Boston Tea Party was strictly limited to a few hundred cases of tea. There were no riots or any other destruction. And
Boston paid dearly when the British closed the entire port in retaliation.
Funny because every single protest I've seen on social media has been peaceful until police gave them no other option. In Boston they were cornered into the street, MBTA and Uber/Lyft shut down, in the words of my friend who was there,
"Last night cops used our cars as bumper cars and ppl were using their body as shields.They stepped on the gas and LAUGHED at us as they rammed into us and charged people with, ‘inciting violence’
Last night they purposely blocked us in and there was huge stand off all because they wouldn’t leave us LEAVE. Even when we were off the streets in silence for a full ten minutes not saying shit. They still blocked us IN. Refusing to let us go.
Last night they set the dogs loose on minors who were their fighting for THEIR future."
"I woke up this morning to the media calling us ‘aggressive’ when the police finally had enough of following us for 12 hours straight and then attacked us.
But the media was no where to be seen as we stopped at the hospital to thank our doctors and nurses. The media was no where to be seen as we stood in silence off the streets and onto the sidewalk. And when we asked them to let us through. They laughed and told us no while stepping on the gas to hit us.
Funny that for 12 hours you didn’t hear anything about the protest because legit nothing was happening. And when the police used force on us? It was immediately twisted as if ‘we’ were the ones who caused the riot. And the media suddenly appeared"
Listen to people who are actually there. Not what the media and news is telling you. These type of protests and riots have been censored throughout history to fit the Man's narrative and continues to be to this day. Just look up the assassination of Fred Hampton. Look up how the FBI was raided in 1971 and had documents planning on his assassination and how to paint the BPP as evil, destructive terrorists.
They are pulling the same moves as before, now Trump wants to deploy military forces and start what seems like the beginning of a second civil war. Because apparently that's easier than just, not fucking murdering unarmed civilians.
Also it wasn't just a few "hundred cases of tea"
It was almost (in comparison to today's inflation) $2 million worth. This is what tea used to look like (https://66.media.tumblr.com/d78bd1a3dee7503d8cb711cce1aba4b9/tumblr_o3wmtdapXd1u38l26o2_640.jpg) in the 1700s. It would last someone a year. It was literally decades and decades worth of tea.
Of course the entire port was closed. But they got their way in the end didn't they?
Semantics in this case literally don't matter. MLK himself said, "A riot is the language of the unheard." I don't agree with violence, or bystanders and small businesses being hurt, I definitely don't agree with the opportunists who looting (even though all the precious artifacts in the Western world today were obtained from looting, and our country gained independence by rioting, but I digress)
I just understand why it's happening. People dying by the hands of police (people supposed to PROTECT US) has gone on far too long. I don't know why people are justifying the slaughtering of black people (& countless others) like animals. Do you think other causes throughout history got achieved by people sitting there quietly and nicely asking for what they want? There's no more time to ask nicely (when people had a problem with it) when people are dying at the hands of police. Police are not judges and courtrooms that carry out a death sentence and even actual death sentences aren't as cruel as kneeling on a man's neck for 10 minutes straight in broad daylight. Enough is enough.

Donald was president of his father's company, operating those apartments. Civil rights groups sent white people and black people to inquire about apartments. White people were shown apartments. Black people were told there weren't any available. Here's more detail:

Anyone saying riots don't ever work needs to pick up a damn history book (https://soletstalkabout.com/2020/05/28/how-to-respond-to-riots-never-solve-anything/?fbclid=IwAR0rI0N3CRPcjqh-dPHW5sjNND44f1U0XwKm0nohR58qPECVuYzZy278liM)
Yes it sucks there has to be violence and small businesses suffering. (I don't have sympathy for big corporations, they have insurance to cover damages like this) But y'all had a problem with people protesting peacefully and trying to nicely ask before. Kneeling during National Anthem, people had a problem. Spreading the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag has always been a damn controversial opinion. Now people are sick of asking nicely while they're being slaughtered like animals by the hands of law enforcement that is supposed to protect us, and they've been stuck inside with not much else to lose. This was a long time coming. Historically, riots work. I hope we see change soon before more innocent people have to suffer.
100% agree. I think violence sucks however its funny to me how so many people are preaching about be peaceful, violence doesn't work, etc. This country was found on violence, created with violence, built on violence and built with violence. Violence has never stopped in America or any other part of the world especially against black people. People are fine with violence when it comes to war (Russia, China/Japan, middle east) but now when its in their own front yard its a problem.
Lets exclude transatlantic slavery, racism and white supremacy for a second.... what time or event in history has violence not been used or a thing? Like people seriously need to stop being obtuse and need to think? Every country, continent and race has used violence. There's not one time in history where violence hasn't been used to gain something. People are just mad now because its effecting their way of life and for whatever reason they fear black people being violent. However its ok for everyone else to be violent throughout history. Many people were all for; war against the middle east, killing Osama, making america "great again", possibly going to war with China, etc. Many times I've even read people arguing and agreeing that the police aren't in the wrong for killing, abusing and or assaulting black people.
I guess black people are just suppose to take getting abused. Its like violence is only ok when white people use it or when people in power (who often times are white) use it. I've said this in regards to myself about a family situation but it applies here and to so many things in general...you can not keep poking at someone and expect them to keep taking it, at some point that person is going to snap. Black people have been oppressed for 400+ years, it never stopped after we become free or gained civil rights. Racism is real and has never gone away despite what many people think or say. To expect us or any group of people to keep taking abuse is ridiculous. This was a long time coming and imo its mild as fuck compared to what we should or could do considering what we've been through, continue to go through and deal with.

Pretty much cause they expect blacks and minorities to stfu, behave, and sit around n passively accept systematic racism n public lynchings.
The really sad part about all of this is that if Minneapolis Law Enforcement simply arrested FOUR unsavory dudes, this could have save thousands of arrests, numerous innocents protesters/officers deaths n injuries.
Idiots!
I hope they get sued to oblivion again. Y’all know they were sued and paid out millions to a black family about 10 years ago. Protestors should file a class action lawsuit against state of Minneapolis, Amy whatever her name is, etc.

What’s even worse is police brutality it’s STILL continuing.
Now it’s against ANYONE any race/any age who dare bring their shady tactics to light. Vyanka linked to video of kid getting maced, I’ve linked to at least two videos of elderly white men getting violently shoved to the ground.
Whilst some law enforcement are changing for better (or at least denouncing racists practices) the rest - They literally cannot help themselves nor auto correct n remove the unsavory law enforcement officers
Keep ya cameras rolling......

I'm starting to think the brutality is happening to everybody to justify what they were doing before the protests.
