It’s all giving in to raw emotion and excusing any actions carried out in the name of that emotion no matter how ultimately destructive it is to society in general and minority communities specifically. The added element of this all occurring in the midst of a pandemic is another layer of ridiculous on top of the cake. Coronavirus was a big deal when it was people walking on a beach but when it’s thousands of people causing destruction in the streets of major cities it’s not a big deal anymore. Go figure.
This cop committed murder. I’m glad he’s getting charged as such. People in Minneapolis have every right to peacefully protest and hold their DA and police force accountable to charge this murderer to the highest degree possible and review the PD to weed out poor training, protocols, and cops. How that extends to people burning businesses and homes in Chicago LA or Nashville is beyond me.

I'm 50/50 with you here. You say nothing can ever change so there is no point? Peaceful protest obviously doesn't work. If there has been peaceful protest in thurs night there still would be no charges to Chauvin. Everyone is in cahoots all the way to the coroner's report. Chauvin would have gotten off. It took national news coverage and burning of the precinct and they only hot a flimsy 3rd degree charge. People can see through the corruption. If that had been any non-police doing that to Floyd, we be charged immediately.
The looting and burning of businesses and houses is idiotic, people just taking advantage of the situation which makes the protests pointless. It's a vicious circle.
