People don't just wake up and riot for no reason.
No, but they wake up and riot for all sorts of reasons not related to what happened to Floyd.

Im outraged about all the people being murdered by police and wanna be police vigilantes. George Floyd,Breonna Taylor,Philando Castile,Eric Garner,Travon Martin etcAnd I notice that you're more outraged by one dead guy than the thousands of lives being impacted by these riots.

And yet conspicuously silent at all the tragedies in Chicago when blacks murder other blacks.
Any murder is a tragedy, especially in high crime areas where criminals often take out innocent victims.
But we are talking about 2 mutually exclusive situations.
One is a situation where criminals are killing people and the police need to work to bring the violence down. The perpetrators are criminals and if caught there is no question about the punishment under the law.
In all the other situations, we have police officers who are employess of the State and licensed to carry a weapon and use such force within their own complete discretion, are abusing it in growing numbers with relatively little punishment UNLESS it is caught on film because no one believe a cop could do something so horrible.
Do we have to show outrage everytime a criminal commits a crime?
But what about when agents of the government continually harass and kill one segment of the population in sutations where they were either unarmed and complying, or committed a minor crime but received the death sentence.
Everytime it happens again and again people want to ask what about criminals killing people? Uh yeah they are criminals. What about police officers deciding to take people's lives at their own discretion and claiming they are just doing their job.
for allegedly forging checks.
And I notice that you're more outraged by one dead guy than the thousands of lives being impacted by these riots. An entire community is being destroyed. Recovery from this will take decades if ever. Business and development almost never happen in these burned out communities and the local residents suffer. Show me the post where conservatives are supporting the cop. Everything I have read here, including my own posts want to see this f'n cop to be fried. Perhaps I missed someone's post supporting the cop.
It is possible to hold both positions of wanting police held to justice and want the same justice for rioters. The death of one man, however inappropriate, does not warrant the wholesale destruction of the community. We also know that many of these rioters do not live in this community, but are the Antifa and BLM types who come in from around the country. The majority of the community is not out there burning the place down, but this majority will suffer the long term consequences. They are afraid to speak out against the thugs because then they become a target. Cops don't speak out loudly enough, or in large enough numbers against the rogue pig who commit these unnecessary killings. They too are afraid of reprisal from their fellow officers. There is too much one side or the other when in truth we must all unite behind equal justice, and obviously that isn't happening.Im outraged about all the people being murdered by police and wanna be police vigilantes.
