What do you believe about this sailor?
The protests, the systemic racism, the continued "miscarriage" of justice that disproportionately impacts people of color?
If you disagree then how do you think protests should be made? Clearly you don't agree that Kaep's protest was "proper", but it was 100% a peaceful protest.
This stuff already happened 50+ years ago in Watts and other places. Since then an enormous amount of money and energy has been spent on dealing with the complaints that led to protests, riots, looting, and arson back then. Yet, we seem to be back where we were a half-century ago. Furthermore, the places where this is happening are led by Dem politicians, pursing Dem policies, and often have minority police chiefs and significant numbers of minority police officers. It seems pretty obvious that for certain segments of American society the blue policies are not working. It's also pretty obvious that we need to do something else and people need to vote for politicians who don't champion the failed policies. More of the same, including greatly increased more of the same will produce nothing but more of the same failure among people where it has already failed.
Time to seriously rethink things. Any helpful suggestions that are not simply a repetition of the same old same old would be welcome.
If any promoters of looting, arson, and rioting can be identified, they should be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Their property should be seized and the proceeds should be used to help rebuild the communities that they have helped to devastate.
As far as the murder of George Floyd is concerned, the police officer who killed him and the other cops present, who did nothing effective to stop him, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Obviously, some people are not cut out for police work. At the same time, it seems pretty clear that the training and selection of police in Minneapolis needs to be reviewed and changed so that such events do not happen again.
