If they were all white, I'd be ok with force being used on them.

This is how disconnected I am about caring about the color of criminals.

Yeah, you totally missed the point. These are your fellow citizens. Its not about color right now. The future of the republic is out on those streets.

There are two... maybe three types of people that would riot under these conditions.

1. The politically disenfranchised: These are the people that are actually rioting because they feel they have no other avenue to have their grievances met
2. The criminals: These are just people that are talking advantage of the situation and would be out just for the "ultra-violence"
3. The economically disenfranchised" These are people that have nothing to lose. No job, no assets, no future prospects.

If you have a significant group of non-blacks in the crowd, they have to fall into one of these three groups. That should concern you.

Virtually zero in group 1, unless you have a better excuse for why none of them vote.

And it’s not good..... from the looks of the crowd in Nashville.... not many look like pillars of the community or even productive members of society.

I hope people realize we are seeing what "cops don't want to look like they are violent against black men" looks like in real time.

Go out there and try to arrest someone while being gentle? Nope. Ignore it and let it burn.

All this will achieve is even less policing of areas that desperately need more policing not less.

Based on the narrative they don’t really have a dog in the fight

The narrative by the media? The media is out of touch.

You have people out there that feel they have nothing to lose. That should concern you. But what it definitely doesn't mean is that you need to ignore them. That would be a mistake.

There’s not a single law abiding citizen worth a grain of salt that feels that way.

some feel they have nothing to lose, some have been fed a lie that they are oppressed even though they live in ostensibly the best of times, some just want to burn it all down and some are paid and organized to push an agenda. It's the melting pot 2.0

It terribly concerns me because it shows how far we have sunk as a society. Not sure what "significant group of non-blacks" has to do with it, and why it should up my concern.

There was a comment that somebody made earlier today about the white community being insulated from the things that plague the black community. I commented and replied back that in 2 decades or one generation, you would see out of wedlock birth rates in the white community go to 50%. I'm going to add on to that comment. Today, on these streets in 2020, you are already seeing the decay of white society due to eroding values and the destruction of the nuclear family. The kids on the streets are the products of that environment. For all of these years, while the black community was being destroyed by drugs, govt social programs, govt interference in the family, the white community turned a blind eye, not realizing that these very same tactics were just being perfected in the laboratory on black people, but would eventually come back and be used on the larger society. This is the game plan for how you destroy a country.

You ignoring or ridiculing these people on the streets or wanting to lock them up and throw away the key is not the answer. Its all about empathy, understanding and coming together to go after the people that have been dividing and fragmenting us for all of these years.
