perhaps if i saw protesters actively stopping violence and looting instead of just spectating and filming and cheering, as well as comments supporting violence getting flagged on hn
otherwise, plenty of people may not be personally willing to risk themselves by being violent, but are happy to stand by as others are violent
anyways, i hope the protesters look forward to trump 2020, because that is the current trajectory they are pushing
consider why you are making assumptions about what I believe?
even if, for sake of argument, bad cops are instigating all the riots and looting, the media optics will make this a slam dunk for trump 2020 and more militarized police
exactly contrary to what we really want
consider this
where do all the people live who are most likely to vote against trump?
the big cities
where are all the riots taking place?
the big cities
if trump stops the riots and saves their livelihood, will this make them more likely or less likely to vote against trump? what do you think?
Why do you keep bringing up Trump? Ignore the election for a second.
I'm pointing out two issues: rioting, and the police brutality leading to the rioting are both societal problems. We saw this exact scenario after the Freddie Gray murder. I'm also trying to find out why you're avoiding admitting that both rioting and police brutality are problems.
why are you asking loaded questions? it is almost as if you are not interested in having a discussion, but would rather post talking points that i already agree with
hard to understand the point of what you are doing
otherwise, plenty of people may not be personally willing to risk themselves by being violent, but are happy to stand by as others are violent
anyways, i hope the protesters look forward to trump 2020, because that is the current trajectory they are pushing
