Of course it will be. The riots would have been framed in the most negative light in regards to protesters regardless of anything. We both know this and yet you're pretending not to. That's textbook concern trolling.Grow up. News tomorrow will be will be wall to wall videos of people running out of stores with big TVs without any substantive talk of George Floyd.
"But at least we stuck it to Target!"
What do you want me to do then? I sent emails requesting the cops be arrested when someone linked who to email in a Reddit thread.If you're worried about the worst case scenario you should be trying to convince the government to not steamroll the protestors, and to subsequently make foundational reform to the police, and jail the relevant officers for life.
That's how you do it. Not whining about TVs.
Let it go.I am sitting in my bed with a laptop. I can assure you I'm spending a minimum amount of effort.
You think I don't know that? Or that I don't care?
Except I agree this is a massive failure of the system? When did I say it wasn't?

And what are you doing to help?Oh it shows. Speaking of things that aren't helping the 'movement'.
Great! You contacted the government! Your job is done. Now stop complaining about stores and TVs.What do you want me to do then? I sent emails requesting the cops be arrested when someone linked who to email in a Reddit thread.

Fine, I'll still hope that we don't see an entire city block burn down tonight. You'll have to excuse me for not being a fan of "burn it down" mentalities.Great! You contacted the government! Your job is done. Now stop complaining about stores and TVs.
Looking dumb as hell for a Target REDcard discount.This lady is back.
Give me target or give me death.
Anyone trying to be mad at looters should be more upset that billionaires have collectively gotten almost half a trillion dollars richer in the middle of a pandemic. That's the real looting happening that matters.
When systemic racism continues to inflict violence and death towards minorities, especially at the hands of disgusting cops, who gives a shit if people destroy property and steal stuff? Why shouldn't they? Their anger is justified. This country's ruling class hoards power and wealth while people suffer and die. And we're just expected to behave ourselves and take it, because even peacefully protesting is met with condemnation and derision. Raze it all to the ground. Change happens when people riot. Someone taking a TV from a multinational billion dollar corporation doesn't matter a single damn bit, especially in the face of an actual real problem in the vein of police and others wielding power and using it to ruin people's lives. Continuing to frame anger over property damage and stolen goods just redirects it from where it should be placed and upholds systems of oppression.
Honestly? Loot the shit out of Target and any big business. Maybe then they'll take a stand and put pressure on the police force.

it might not collapse, but it will need to be destroyed and rebuilt
You can hope that property destruction is minimal without engaging in pearl-clutching that decidedly overshadows the systemic matters at hand.Fine, I'll still hope that we don't see an entire city block burn down tonight. You'll have to excuse me for not being a fan of "burn it down" mentalities.
Destroying your own community by setting condos and local business' does nothing to stop any of the above. All it does is hurt everyone in the community

I 100% recognize that this is an institutional failure. Doesn't mean I have to tolerate "Fuck it burn it down" nonsense.It's not a unique thought or position you're providing lol. It's just that the divide is some of us recognize the riots as an institutional failure, and some of us just wanna whine that 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Apartment building being built about the go up in flames.
The problem is that it's not just big businesses. Smaller businesses are being affected too. And they are less likely to be able to take such a financial hit like Target can. Especially with the whole COVID situation being the way it is.Honestly? Loot the shit out of Target and any big business. Maybe then they'll take a stand and put pressure on the police force.

News coverage isn't going to resolve the problems with systemic racism, which lead to George Floyds death. He is likely to never see any justice, but that didn't change today, and it wont change tomorrow. There will be plenty more Floyds in the near future. Who istaking score of property damage, and for what cause in this thread? Who is we, in your quote?
I live in this city so yeah it somewhat fucking affects me.
Oh you betcha, yah
No one is forcing you to tolerate anything.I 100% recognize that this is an institutional failure. Doesn't mean I have to tolerate "Fuck it burn it down" nonsense.
Then what do you want us to say? To cheer for as much property destruction as possible?then you don't understand what civil unrest is. Which takes us all the way back to the start.
they were already doing thisAll I see this doing is enabling right wing media / blue lives matter to play victim and change the subject.
