That billionaires shouldn't exist I guess is the main message?

Every time you burn down a billionaire's house or company just call it a "reverse stock buyback" or maybe "undoing decades of equity-based-compensation-tax-evasion".

what does that have to do with police murdering black people?

lets keep our riots focused, or people get confused and they lose effectiveness.

we can protest billionaires next week after we finish dealing with the police problem

I think I just hate Seattle and Minneapolis a lot after having been forced to spend time with very rich people there. That's what's actually going on here. Thanks for letting me work that out.

Actually I just hate Wayzata, Minneapolis seems ok.

Tonight the Minneapolis Police Department
Opened fire on our first aid station with no regard for the wounded people we had inside.
We were treating the 100% PEACEFUL protestors adults and teens who had come in with rubber bullet wounds, falls, scrapes and gashes, and mace/tear gas exposure when they marched in and began firing at us.
We put our hands up.
We shouted that we were first aid and were trying to help injured
We shouted we had hurt people inside that could not walk.
Nurses, Medics, EMTs walked out in front and Identfied themselves.
They fired gas, paint, and rubber bullets into us like it was Call of Duty.
I was hit multiple times with my hands up before it became to much to take and I had to run with everyone else.
A young man who had hurt his leg and couldn’t run was almost trampled by people
fleeing the shots.
Some medics and myself grabbed him, put him in a wheeled office chair and started running him out of the #firstaid station while they fired rubber bullets into my back.
We got him into a random car as gas and more bullets rained down on us. I was pulled away by the crowd as a van full of cops came through and began shooting at us as we fled.
More gas
More rubber bullets
I ran as fast as I could until the finally stopped chasing us.
Finding my way to a friends basement nearby where the rest of my team had fled to.
While we hid
A young couple was also trying to leave to protests.
They turned a corner and the police officers hit them with their high powered flash light and then shot this girl directly in the face.
Random protestors formed a shield around them as the young man picked her up and ran.
By the sheer grace of God they managed to stumble to the door of the place we were hiding in and were rushed down to the basement.
We frantically cleared a dirty laundry table as our AMAZING, FANTASTIC, BRAVE, SELFLESS, SUPERWOMAN Nurse (Ashley Huber who is a straight up medical GODESS) scavenged all the supplies we had managed to keep on us to treat this girl the best she could and probably saved her eye.
We are now huddled in the dark
Waiting for curfew to lift to get her the further help she needs
Because not a living soul in this probably traumatized group of civilians is going to call 911
After ambulances have repeatedly ignored our calls and the police are the ones who shot the small unarmed girl in the first place.
(EDIT: even if we wanted to try and get her to the hospital ourselves the Police SLASHED THE TIRES OF THE TRUCK WE USED TO GET HERE)
So while I wait for sunrise
I would like to let everybody know
That if you open your mouth about how “those people” need to peacefully protest
Covid-19 or not
I’m going to get into your personal space.
MY team
Were warriors for justice tonight
The Minneapolis, police department
Shot a small brown skinned girl in the face because she was outside and upset that they murdered a black in broad day light in front of people begging them to stop.

Burning down corporation stores and banks is fine. The government felt it was better to give trillions to companies that have no problem letting their employees starve or ride unemployment pine than to put money in the hands of the people, who would have spent it buying poo poo to keep the economy afloat.

The people don't matter to most banks or businesses. They're complicit in this. Let them burn.

Can we please please please stop spreading the "antifa are the only ones smashing poo poo/stirring things up" thing? It's a completely bullshit, manufactured narrative that allows the powers that be to conveniently ignore the riots, and also sows racial division when we need solidarity. Black people aren't really that angry, it's just the white anarchists trying to stir them up! It's loving stupid. Stop swallowing that poo poo uncritically.

Conservatives are never going to stop trying to spread the "evil antifa burned down the starbucks" narrative. Just like they're not going to acknowledge that cops are capable of murder by calling deaths at their hands "accidents" or "medical problems."

ask the panthers or the person next to you in the riot for a better answer, but in brief racism exists to keep the working class divided against itself and black people were imported as private property and retained as a laborer underclass ever since to create the wealth of the ruling class and destroy labor power. people who tell you that the issues are separate are either fooled or trying to fool you.

I would argue that, as the protests now are showing, attacking the police power is a more effective way to undermine the entrenched power inequality in the system. Every protest will have to have this level of escalation or worse until the issues if the police are addressed effectively (not saying solved, just addressed to be less of an issue)

When the police feel safe murdering in the street like that, and opening fire on reporters unprovoked, there is little reason to expect them to not be willing to open fire on a crowd.

A clumsy analogy, but at this point the protests are about George Floyd the same way WWI was about Franz Ferdinand.

And I mean that as a positive. This is an outpouring of rage about a system that fucks anyone not in the top 10% and white. I've said it before, but even the most woke white person doesn't care about a black guy being killed this much.

So "stop killing minorities, you pig fucks" is the top note, but there is a massive pile of stuff under it.

i failed to complete the connection: police having impunity to arrest and murder black people who "make trouble" is how they help maintain the permanent labor underclass, check out The New Jim Crow to learn more, i won't ask how you got it.

you keep attributing very specific positions to me that are not what I posted. I didn’t post that people generally wanted to see their own community burn. It’s also impossible to generalize an answer.

- it may be that the people who are burning things are from outside the neighborhood/community or false flagging
- it may be spectators on the internet generally supporting destruction
- it may be that some people just don’t care and wanted to see Arby’s burn because they got a lovely sandwich there once

why don’t you just go ask coolzone and put words in people’s mouths there
