I was aware of the shooting. The news sites made it look like the protesting had happened yesterday.
Yeah the victim's mother has said she doesn't want any sort of escalation, so I don't think it's been as bad as it could've been. There are still bound to be some who have to take out their frustrations in protest and/or some who choose to take advantage of the situation.

Also, it's interesting you're only interested in the protests but not the systemic police violence against people of color.

Are you sure you do not mean white people? Because looking at the statistics (link: https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/), it seems white people are killed twice as much as African Americans (or Black, depending on the current political correctness).

Where are the Biden voters?

Exactly. Like Antifa, there are not any actual Biden supporters, just the idea of Biden supporters.

It doesn't' fit the narrative so it doest count. What is plaguing the American black community is a toxic culture that worships misogyny, drugs and disrespect of authority. The Puerto Rican culture, which I grew up in, is very similar and the statistics and the state of the country are proof of that. I read somewhere that "people of color" who come from the Caribbean islands, eg ( Haiti, Jamaica, Bahamas etc. ) do much better here in the states.

Exactly... if it does fit into the designed outcome, it is not discussed. The very reason no one is talking about the Black individual who killed a Capitol Police Officer on April 2nd. If he was white, they would have talked about it more, or if he had used a gun they would have talked about it more.

Divide and conquer is the name of the game, and it seems to be doing it's job.

Im very careful to jump to deep into a great conspiracy but by enlarged, I think that the Democrats don't care about any of the causes they claim to champion: climate, racism, immigration, pandemics, economic disparity etc. They are just really good at milking the latest fad to gain greater political power to enrich themselves.

Without considering the validity of the cause, there is a difference between protesting and rioting.
>protests

you mean the riot
My point still stands regardless of which word you want to use.

There are a lot more White people than Black people, so looking at the raw numbers only demonstrates that fact. Here's a more relevant statistic from the same website looking at the rate (per million of that population):

My point is Valwinz and people like him are the ones bringing Biden into this. Presidential politics have nothing to do with these protests, since they're about police violence against people of color, and you don't know the party affiliation of anyone protesting/rioting.

Unarmed whites are killed more per capita than blacks. Also, blacks are 12% of the US population, yet commit over 50% of all murders. https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/crime/ucr.asp?table_in=2

"violence against people of color" violence by blacks against whites occurs far more often per capita than the other way around.

Yeah that's kinda the point...police shouldn't be killing unarmed people at all. Yet they kill everybody at a pretty high rate and they still kill black people at a rate disproportionate with their population. Roughly a thousand murders are committed by police per year, and roughly ten thousand dogs are killed by them per year. We need a complete national overhaul of police forces before it comes to all-out war with them.

For my part I'd go full John Wick on their asses if they shot and killed my dog.

Thank you for broadly prejudging and victim-blaming an entire race. I don't wish to respond to this anymore than to say your prejudice is noted.

It's almost as though there's a correlation between socioeconomic status and the likelihood of committing certain kinds of crime. I am assuming you aren't arguing that Black people are inherently more violent, right? There are also issues of discrimination by law enforcement (i.e. Black areas are more heavily policed), issues related to childhood exposure to violence, socioeconomic factors related to whether or not a person can post bail (and instead pleads guilty to a crime they didn't commit), and correlations between segregation and violent crime.

"violence against people of color" violence by blacks against whites occurs far more often per capita than the other way around.
I'm unaware of any systemic violence against White people, which is the point of what we're talking about.

If you feel you can do a better job, I am sure they are always looking for individuals willing to put there life on the line everyday.

But I do agree, there needs to be more oversight in any and everything the government has it's bloodied hands in/on. Not saying the government needs to get bigger to take care of the problem, but we the people as their source of income need to do a better job at holding them accountable for their actions. Rioting is not going to fix the problem though. Defunding the police isn't going to fix it either. Like I am saying, there needs to be a private sector organization that we all can be a part of the look at what is going on behind the scenes and making sure our money is being used as intended.
