    Please. Before y’all get racial and call people animals. Know who’s orchestrating this stuff. (George Soros, anifta etc)

    do you know CIA originally funded gangster rap? (The foundation of modern day “savage” behavior) . Look it up. Please get off your high horse. This is not a color problem. This is an elite divide and conquer problem.

    I agree with you... calling these people animals is quite a disrespect to the animals... these PEOPLE are beasts.... worse than that... There's no word for them... And that has nothing to do with color, race... it has to do with ideology. Look at them... they are black, white, brown, yellow... all colors in the rainbow... Ok Ok... you know... I know too....

    Man, it really seems like you are watching this with popcorn like this isn’t in our country. How can you treat this like its a natural event when a billionaire has deployed its dogs to make this stage a movie. It’s like your falling for the trick?

    He would be on the front line, throwing bricks.

    Read his later speeches and writings. Then read his early stuff. Finally read his works on non-violence. King, and Gandhi before him, advocated non-violence, not no violence. The key was to force the opposition to overreact and employ violence to maintain the status quo.

    Dr King's house was a fortress. He traveled with armed guards. Had he not been assassinated, I believe Dr King would have moved more and more towards drastic and violent action.

    The question has been asked "Why are black people rioting and looting?".

    That is the wrong question.

    We should be asking "Why should they not?"

    Civil society is based on the social contract. We behave in certain ways because we, as a collective, have decided what is "Acceptable". Some of those societal norms are codified in law, others are unspoken agreements. When a person acts contrary to the social contract there are comeuppances. Over time social norms change, but the underlying social contract is there. It is written into our Constitution. It is expounded on in the Federalist Papers and in the writings of Jefferson, Adams, and Madison. As one reads the writings of our Founders they will find the influence of Voltaire, Hobbes, Locke, Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Descartes, and Rousseau.

    While each has his own belief in the best structure of society and how best to maintain it there are central themes. Chief among those themes is that the greatest threat to a state is if a sizable group believes the state no longer has an interest in protecting the rights/privileges of that group. When that happens, the social contract has failed. One of two things will occur - a police state or a revolution.

    Looking at history we find copious examples of this - Jack Cade, Thomas Wyatt, the Wolfe Tones, the Fenians, the Molly Maguires, the Sons of Liberty, the Luddites, the IRB, the Paris Communes, and Prague Spring just to name a few. If society does not act to provide redress then violent rebellion will continue to foment regardless of how mercilessly such rebellions are put down.

    It has been almost 4 years since the shooting of Philando Castile. Since then, what has changed about the way the MSP PD acts? What reforms have been completed?

    What would the narrative be if the murder of George Floyd had not been filmed?

    How long would you wait for equal treatment?
