I heard Ohio had some problems, is it only in the larger cities... like Cleveland?
Thats to bad that it's happening anywhere, I'm lucky here in Colorado, not much going on really, Denver had some protests, but it didn't turn violent. I saw a map of the protests, the north east had the most, and California, mostly in areas with a lot of population density... It's all sad to me, I don't even like watching the news anymore...
Whilst I'm not unsympathetic with police being expected to fulfil roles beyond their remit, nor the danger and exhaustion it entails, that video almost epitomises everything that is wrong, emotionally immature, barbaric and intellectually challenged about America.
If you want t break the cycle of hostility breeding hostility, somebody has to start by expressing some humility.
I for one am sorry that it has come to this. I'm sorry that people feel feel their only option in terms of being listened to is through force. I'm sorry for all the contributions I have made towards that.
It wasn't my intention and I am trying to listen, reflect and evaluate in the best way I know how.

We are seeing legitimate peaceful protests occur here in the USA. And we are seeing no good vandals taking the opportunity to tear up cities. The participants in these peaceful protests are not attacking police, burning down buildings or cars, or pulling other non participants out of their cars and beating them. Why should anyone tolerate the vandals breaking laws and destroying lives and killing other human beings? The violence needs to stop. Without laws and there enforcement we have anarchy and perpetual violence. smh

I haven't watched the news in years. It's too depressing, too negatively based and too stressful. If there is a good news story there, it's shoved to the back of the program where most people don't stay to watch anyway.

Sadly, there is a list somewhere online showing that the worst of rioting is occurring in cities with democrat mayors. Not worth my time to google. I could be wrong but doubt it.
Most of the black population in Cleveland Ohio is under the 8nfluence and control of blacks in powerful positions with connections to the historical gangster, Bumpy Johnson. Even though Bumpy is dead his movement is not. They are very well connected and a lot of people have been assassinated as they rose to power. The violence taking place on Ohio is masterminded and orchestrated by gangsters/mobsters. Like the secret societies they are interwoven into every fabric of society. According to many people in Ohio a lot of people are being murdered and displaced because of lies. Black people who don't know other black people automatically feel its their duty to pass judgement and lie on those unknowns. This is a tactic of the mobsters. All I can say is if people don't get it together there will be a race war along with internal wars involving blacks versus blacks and Caucasians versus Caucasians.

Because there are reasons behind other's poor behaviour, just as there are reasons behind our own.
Condemnation is destructive without exploration and evolution.
It's time for truth and reconciliation. It's difficult, but not difficult at the same time.
The vandals are tied in with mobsters. In Cleveland Ohio it is on record that mobsters tied in with the late gangster Bumpy Johnson are the layers of different parts of the city. One of the central points where it all started was at the First Cleveland Mosque off East 131st street. There is a lot of history about a movement which had nothing to do with black liberation. It was all about money and power. The vandals are used to not only destroy businesses by non blacks, but also to stir up race wars. According to members inside those cliques 2020 will be a very very bloody year and blacks, whether millionaire celebrities or politicians are all involved.

I dont know about all that but I believe their unjustified destructive behavior breeds chaos

Be glad you don't live overhere. People who neglect social distancing regulations can get a fine of 400 euro's. But our minister of justice lately got himself married, he was in an area with many guests, and there was no social distancing at all. Later he admitted he made an mistake, for the pictures were all over the news and in newspapers, pictures of him shaking hands, hugging people etc. Same kind of fact for our king who also neglected the rules.
Looks like a semi-peaceful protest in Pittsburgh with some BLM people jumping out of the march to harass people trying to dine outside. Watch the video of the diners sitting there.

It shouldn't be tolerated. The organisers of the protests must accept their share of the blame as the rioters hide among them and take advantage of the confusion they create. It's time to end the protests, they have made their point and the violence should be met with whatever force is necessary. Only then can society examine itself and deal with grievances, whether real or imagined.
