Rioters : "Forget the liquor store, we gotta get to the zoo and hoist the big cats out of their enclosures!"

Zookeeper : "We need to turn the lion loose for its own safety. That lion's an operator, he'll be fine for a few days and then we'll bring him back."

Trying to figure out which scenario is more reasonable.

Their mayor told them to give them their space to destroy. Just following your orders, ma'am.

A. Rioters cutting the fire hose

Your stalking has gotten way out of control.

Ask Frosty what he thinks about Doctor Detroit.

LOL. You are trying to attribute rationale thought to a rioting mob? If someone can think of it, or someone can fake it, someone can do it. There's no policing going on in Baltimore tonight. Anything is fair game.

serials. balto is really small. theyre all like so scrood.

[Ditka Butkus 1,817]

Damn Whites

[renesauz 2,973]

It's disgusting. Black people are fed up with how they believe the police treats them, and their response is to go burn buildings, rob businesses and attack cops.

Yeah....that'll prove them wrong.

Anyone that defends this is a fool.

yeah, black people. sheesh.

Missing the point.

yeah its me missing the point

Let me spell it out a little more clearly:

A. Police view young black people as thugs causing trouble

B. Thugs causing trouble get treated poorly in piklce custody.

C. Since police treat the thugs poorly, eventually one gets seriously hurt or killed.

D. The black community goes into righteous outrage over the death of an "Innocent" (INSERT ENORMOUS SARCASM)

E. Calm cool head in the black community are drowned out while large numbers of other young black men loot, burn, and pillage.

F. Cops idea of young black men being thugs causing trouble is greatly re-enforced by young black men rioting.

G. Calmer minds insist the cops/system/government are at fault for not fixing A and by extension B, yet spend very little time aggressively addressing E.

How does E help solve A?

There is no excuse for rioting and it will NEVER help fix the problem.

Rioting and violent government protest has a place in this world. We saw it used effectively in the U.S. leading to independence, and in countries every year to protest/change/overthrow corrupt, evil regimes. Sometimes people are so oppressed that violence (aka Revolution as the ultimate goal) is a necessary, and only sometimes only means to instill change.

Unfortunately, when the rioters/protesters/... get more air time for looting and property damage than their efforts to impact change do, it continues to perpetuate already existing stereotypes and racial/cultural biases, bringing us full circle to the place where these movements start.

Forget color, age, gender... Get 1000 protesters to form a sit-in in the Baltimore Police HQ for the next month. I guarantee a lot more would get accomplished than a couple days of hanging in the streets and looting your own town.

Sadly, men like MLK

Seriously? You think these kids are rioting for change, or to grab some loot?

"Lying ,Dying & Spying "

"they bring in white cops"

[Ditka Butkus 1,817]

Why haven't I seen the lion on Fox or Cnn?

[Billy Bats 3,394]

Damn Whites

Apparently the predominately African American run city of Baltimore is farming in white police to beat on the African American population of Baltimore. Damn shame.

Yes seriously. Are you watching the ####### news? They are lighting bonfires 50 feet in front of cops and then driving stolen cars through the fire while a guy directs an imaginary symphony in front of the flames. And you don't think it's possible that some animals could get released from the zoo?

[jabarony 706]

The people protesting are peaceful.

Until they are not.

Apparently it's not the police that they're angry at, it's specifically white police.

Octopods don't have arms/legs. They have eight prehensile penises.

8 penises completely capable of solving complex puzzles or harassing unsuspecting Japanese school girls.

No, I don't. You think that guy dancing in front of the fire or the dudes throwing bottles are suddenly going to break for the zoo and rig up an elaborate pulley system to get a thousand pound lion up out of an enclosure and release it onto the streets? Come on man.
