Clearly your not following along. Where did I say that is where you were lying..
You already were caught lying and slandering me. I quoted you, but you are to stupid to read up.

That may be true, but that would also be what an authoritarian government with an agreeable press would claim about rioters who we in our Western understanding would view as justified.I do tend to agree with some scholars who believe that in the United States in particularly most political expressions are filtered through a lens of consumption and therefore rioting would also be performed in such a manner.
Okay, what political point are they making by looting in this instance?

LOL@DT now lying after he had just posted this above. Right here he says anyone who has seen the video would not be complaining about the riots. Implying that the wrongful killing justifies the riots.Darth Thor should change his user name to Pinocchio lol.
Try reading the full thing.
I said you have mental issues IF youre NOT GETTING ANGRY over the Video and complaining about the Riots INSTEAD.
Jeez you and Broly really do have basic comprehension issues. No wonder youre Trump supporters.

Thor obviously never learned the lesson of the LA Riots. We can solve systemic racism by robbing buildings, burning cars, and setting police stations on fire. That'll show em
How do we solve systemic racism though?
I think to pretend that rioting and looting does never have consequences that are in accordance with the goals of the rioters or looters would be misguided, not saying you do, but it does seem like there is a general dismissal of any tactic that is not sanctioned by a specific state, which is of course incredibly convenient for whoever holds the power in a state or system.

Have any of you actually seen the video?Theres no way youd be complaining about the riots if you did.
Its plain terrorism. You have mental issues if youre not getting angry over it and annoyed about looting instead.

I don't know, I haven't talked to them, I would assume that for many it is an expression of their anger and frustration at the perceived mistreatment by the authorities of black people in the United States. Which is not to say that I don't think there are people that just view it as convenient, or at best have a latent understanding of their own anger.

How does looting express their anger or frustration?

Instead of rioting they should be killing police officers and their families in their homes and assassinating local political figures like the mayor tbh. 👆
I am not sure if you are joking, but that would certainly change the politics of this. And depending on the power balance, it could have positive or negative consequences to their cost. Certainly the law breaking of movements under MLK Jr., Malcolm X and generally the Black Panthers created a fundamental change in the political realities of the United States.
