The officer has been charged with murder. These riots aren't about the late MR Floyd any more,

168, you must not live in Wilkes. You are correct that white supremist are not very smart but they are all over Wilkes.

The title of the thread is White supremacist's plants. Not the root cause of urban violence, Being that most of the white power crazies are mostly low IQ prison gang members I seriously doubt they could plan or carry out missions in city's all across the country like we are seeing now. Blame the arsonists and looters who are using this as cover. Not the good people of all colors who are losing property and their livelihood's because of it.

I encourage you all to read this that I shared earlier.

Responses and Riots...

There was a group of students placed in the same classes from kindergarten through high school. A few of the students started bullying one of the students in kindergarten because they looked different. This continued for years, all the way through high school. The bullied student told teachers because that is what their parents instructed them to do. The teachers consistently said, "ignore them and it will go away."
It didn't go away. The bullying persisted. The student kept reporting it to the teacher and the teacher would tell the bullies to stop every now and then, but the overall instruction was to try to ignore it. The student went to the counselor. The counselor tried some intervention and had the students meet together to talk it out but it only made things worse. The bullies added more people to their team. The student told their parents about it.

Their parents went to the school and had meetings with the administration, met with the bullies' parents, created an action plan, and hoped things would be better. After apologies were made, parents said there would be accountability, and the administration said they would do everything in their power to handle and control the bullies and the environment they created. The bullying continued. The student tried again to tell teachers, counselors, administration, but they ignored the student because they got tired of hearing the complaints. They had other responsibilities to handle and there seemed to be no clear way to deal with bullying.

The student eventually shut down. They closed themselves off from expressing their hurt and pain and the effects it had on them. One day the student walked into class and one of the bullies started taunting them again. The student had enough and couldn't take it anymore. They fought the bully. They threw desk, they released all the built up pain, tension, disappointment, and frustration from years of being bullied, picked on, hit on, and let down.

The bullied student destroyed the classroom that was built to educate them. The student destroyed a space that was promised to be safe for them. They destroyed a place that represented unmet promises, lies, and personal destruction.

The outrage and the physical response is completely understandable. Should the student have some form of accountability for what happened? Yes.

The problem is that too many people are more concerned with punishing the student for fighting back than they are concerned with the bullies, the broken system of administration, and the failed attempts of peace, reconciliation, and resolution. What about all the students who knew the bullied and the bullies but said nothing and didn't intervene when they saw plots brewing and when the saw the bullying happening?

Emotional and physical outrage are a result of consistent neglect and abuse. If you don't want the eruption of outrage, handle the problems as they are communicated. Ask yourself which part of this broken system you are...then do work to fix it.

The officers actions were wrong and he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But so should the people who are using this tragedy as a excuse to loot and burn other peoples property. I merely pointed out that the majority of the arrests were people from Minnesota. Which doesn't fit the narrative you were espousing.

Did you watch the first video in the Buzzfeed link? They were obviously trying to set up the African-American activist who was literally trying to diffuse the situation and keep the white guy from vandalizing.

My God. This is terrible. Drumpf's America, 2020.
