If they were just protesting, or even if they were rioting but only attacking stuff like the police station, I'd have a hard time condemning it too much. Based on what we know at this point, this one appears to be worthy of protest. They pretty much lost all credibility, though, when they started looting/destroying private business that had nothing to do with the entire situation other than being unfortunate enough to be situated in the general area.



You are explicitly saying it's ok to burn down police stations as a response. Are you going to be ok with it when the murder of policemen follows this?

I did see the video you asked about in the previous post. Also, I did not “explicitly say it’s ok to burn down police stations”. I said in this case I would at least understand it if that’s all they went after and I would have a hard time saying they didn’t have some justification. When they went after people and businesses that were totally unrelated, they lost whatever credibility they may have had.

I won’t argue with you about it any further, but don’t put words in my mouth.

Fair enough. I am as sickened by what that cop did as anyone and it elicits a very emotional response from anyone with a heart. If Floyd was a friend or family member I would be dead or in jail right now because of my response. I just am repulsed by it being turned into a race issue and having people out there looting and burning police stations down. I DO condemn that whole heartedly and I did not put any words in your mouth...YOU said that you would have a hard time condemning that. Don't say it if you really don't mean it. Police misconduct is obviously a problem but I don't believe it is based on race or rampant among LEOs. I fear many good LEOs will be murdered because of this.
Now, you can have the last word. I can tell from your posts you are a good guy and I have no desire to argue with you.
