I agree that concern trolling should be dealt with, but if people who are living in the city (like me) are concerned about things going around them, can they not discuss that?

Minneapolis protests over murder of George Floyd. Police response more severe than when white supremacists stormed capitol. (See Threadmarks to help)

Exactly.
No one protesting wants bystanders hurt today.
The protests are to bring attention to the murder of black people for the crime of... being black.
That's the actual issue here.
Black Lives Matter.
How is what they said "literally cheering" for people to lose their lives? That's not what literally means
I mean....I protested outside the Minneapolis Police Station in 2014 after Ferguson. I was there raising noise with everyone else. It didn't help. I get why people are snapping.
You are posting in bad faith
"So you're ok with more death coming from this?"
You think this is a good faith argument?
Yeah it seems pretty early in consturction probably not a whole lot flammable in there yet.
You don't need to tell protestors that because they aren't the raving lunitics you try to paint them as. Nobody is chearing for innocent people to die and it's insulting to imply they are, and I guarentee you they are not trying to block firefighters from saving people. This is fucking nonsense
This out of context fact that there is a fire going on somewhere doesn't mean you can treat the protest as looking for innocent blood.
"Death came from this already"
"You're OKAY with MORE death?"
Explain this logic to the classroom

User Banned (1 Month): Concern Trolling and Inflammatory Accusations In a Sensitive Thread Over Multiple Posts
Innocent people are being sucked up into this. Being hurt and possibly going to die from the chaos.......but according to some posters here, it is what it is, right?
Stay safe up there and give those bastards hell.
I'd be out there in full support if I still lived in Minneapolis (moved back to Rapid City last summer)
What is there to discuss, you should prob lock your doors and just lay low if you're worried or get out there and join the fight.
Supporting innocent people not getting hurt makes me a right winger? Sigh.
it's really incredible how the concern trolling goalposts keep moving.
no one is rooting for innocent people to die...
If more people die, its the fault of the MPD and the police, who have decades of this conduct behind them. They could have prevented all of this by not murdering a man in broad daylight
The police apply this logic to everyone else. Why doesn't it apply to them? When do they need to learn to practice "responsibility"?
No one's supporting innocent people getting hurt. It's your intent behind your wording that gives you away.
Should they be doing this, should they be doing that.... what a pointless conversation in the middle of civil unrest. And I don't mean that in the average, everyday talking-on-the-internet-is-pointless way. The individual fades away when you're in a mob. Any action you take is attributed to the group and vice versa. Do the concerned people here want to speak to the manager of the protests to tell them to stop burning buildings? It's not that simple. In the end, they're fed up and lashing out because law and order went out the window when that knee dug into George Floyd's spine for 10 minutes straight.
start the calls for order, care, justice and safety, with the oppressors not the oppressed. even amongst this unrulyness, if someone started a fire that claimed innocent lives they would be held accountable for it. the same cant be said about the George's murderers.

You sure are having a lot of "concern" for people that haven't died yet than the person that has already been dead. Hmmmmmm I wonder why 🤔
Sorry, I'm agreeing with you. 'idiot' just slightly made me chuckle. these people out here are really trying to flip the tables as if we're not warranted in the actions we're taking right now.
It started with TVs and a Target but now it's about the innocent bystanders and we're supposed to suddenly believe you're being sincere.
Ok.
I didn't know we were given the power to end riots in this thread. Shit, and here we all are just doing nothing.
. . . "It is what it is" means we can't do anything about it now. It doesn't mean we're happy about the situation.
What are you talking about? I have family that lives right near the area currently getting destroyed so im rightfully on edge. I sympathize with the protestors, I want justice too. I remember ferguson. Im just hoping innocent people dont get hurt
Nobody is arguing for people to die, for Christ sake. Please stop taking things out of context.
Maybe you should get off of ERA and check on your family??
Unless posters here are directly in Minneapolis fanning the flames of conflict, there's little point in arguing with people here over the morality of some looting or rioting, nobody here can change anything that is happening. I doubt anybody here wants innocent people to die. Sadly no matter how angry people get, change never seems to come.
Because it's escalating and getting worse. Of course I'm sincere.
A lot of fires now.
