Well this thread has been talking about the death of that guy in police custody ever since it happened, so for someone who is oh-so-concerned about it, funny your first post was


How can blacks protest the killing of a black man when other blacks too have killed black men :chord::fh:

I dont have much respect for the viewpoints of the violent gangs of baltimore no. So Im still not sure of where I should be ashamed of my comment? Looting hasnt changed any viewpoints of how badly BPD has messed up, and added to its troubled history.

I honestly geniunely feel bad for the people out there who message is being lost in all this. But I think it is in the realm of possibility to be upset about multiple things.

ok

so now that we've established that - why are people very concerned with images of black people committing crimes within the larger context of black people protesting against crimes committed against them? why do some people choose to focus on looters and other people committing property crimes, when the greater message is that the police regularly harm citizens? what purpose does it serve for people to vocally stand up and say that they decry, from the bottom of their heart, these heinous acts (of looting). isn't that a little suspicious?

Do you think this is an illuminati conspiracy to keep the black man down or do you just not realize that violence sells?

For every one post you make, anywhere on SA, you must also submit a post about your outrage over police brutality. Them's the rules.

Because obviously arguing with that poster over the importance of police brutality isn't any indication that I place importance on police brutality right?

Nonviolent protestors are boring, just sitting around with signs maybe chanting. Now rioters, that's where the ratings are!

Here's hoping those violent, out of control thugs are brought under control before anyone else is harmed. The systemic violation of the rights of Americans must end before the police embroil this country in even more disorder and violence.

We need some sort of term to describe vicarious identification with and glorification of destructive rioting and looting in the bigoted belief that a handful of idiots throwing bricks through windows is a more "authentic" expression of black feeling than non-violent protest.

I suggest PTD Syndrome.
