Protesting, resisting, rioting is the DNA (Civil Unrest) of the United States of America. We are taught at a very young age its the fabric as a way to fight the oppressors.

GWB claims he doesn't support Trump but he supports nearly everything Trump and Trump supporters support.
But for Trump's COVID non-response; he'd be a fan.
Yep.And when it comes to race he sides with the white supremacist position on every issue I can recall.
Tony Stark says he doesn’t support rioters and black nationalists and commies but he supports nearly everything rioters and black nationalists and commies support.
You keep referencing history, I am talking about today, yesterday only. I have said there is action being undertaken so the riots in Minn is just pointless.
Again, maybe I have not made myself clear, I am talking about riots this specific week, April 11th - , 2021...
My point is that we can't know whether or not it is pointless.
We can't know how that riot, or any riot, can effect indirect change.
And,
I said that the riots are not just to undertake action in the current shooting. Obviously, the rioters know that action was taken. Obviously, there's more to it. There's more at play.
The riots are a result of more than just yesterday etc. You can't limit the reasoning behind why others riot. If you don't have a slight urge to lash out; then you simply don't understand. You don't get it. Without that feeling, you can't know the origins of it. And you certainly aren't qualified to say it's pointless.
Yesterday/Day-before-yesterday was the tipping point, the straw that broke the camels back ... yet again.
To think that past killings (history) aren't a factor in the current riots is naive and unreasonable.
Black and Brown people don't forget such things.
You've never seen someone lash out after one seemingly simple incident, because they were holding on to things from the past?
Criminal justice reform won't solve the problems. In fact, it's relatively minor in terms of the obstacles black people face. They need to address the poverty issues or black people will continue to face substantial prejudice. Poverty/lack of opportunity of a group leads to more criminal behavior by that group. That leads to bigotry/negative stereotyping towards that group. That bigotry/negative stereotyping leads to less opportunities for that group. That leads to more poverty and more criminal behavior. It's a cycle. Obviously law enforcement officials are not immune to bigotry/negative stereotyping. Expecting that they would be is a pipe dream and goes against thousands of years of documented human existence. We try to get to less bigotry/negative stereotyping of different groups, but it won't be eradicated in our lifetimes. Racism is a form of it, but it's not the only form. It's just the most pronounced form in our brief history as a country. If you get enough people in a group they will find an outcast one way or another.
