[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1034346, member: 45598"] It needs to be heard that under no circumstances are unlawful police killings going to be tolerated, particularly of black people, who for a multitude of reasons, are the prime victims. If it was a case that Black Americans were in anyway equal to their white counterparts I'd agree with you but identity politics is very much required here. It's a case of people who aren't and never have been equal to others in their country and there are far too many people given a platform who'd happily ensure they never will be if they could. This is an unlawful police killing of a black person, an all too common incident that has become embroiled in the centre of race relations in America. By the sound of it what you'd have the community do is behave themselves and hope that the institution filled of people who hate them simply for being throw them bones here and there for good behaviour. In reality an institution that has continuously killed their friends and family have done so again through total and utter incompetence at best, it's not a time for fingers on lips. I think it's telling that it's rare you hear black Americans say these protests are damaging to them, they're being listened to far more than before because of it. I'm also aware these riots result in innocent people getting hurt, and if it was possible for that to be avoided it should be but it's not, oppressed majorities aren't listened to until they start fighting in most cases what chance do 13% of the population have? I'd suggest black Americans have been incredibly peaceful throughout history considering what they've had to endure. [/QUOTE]
