Once you have convinced yourself the movement is fake, then there is no longer any need to deal with underlying causes such as systemic racism, low wages and police brutality.
Actually you're wrong, Hairy. I do believe some of the protesters are well intentioned. And I do believe that there is systemic racism, low wages, and police brutality.
But do you think that mass rioting, picking fights with cops, looting (blatant stealing), smashing windows, overturning and burning cars, and burning buildings to the ground is actually the right way to go about addressing it?
That it's all going to work great, and the state is going to just throw in the towel, stand down the cops and the military, and wave the white flag?
Actually the exact OPPOSITE is going to happen. It's only going to make matters worse, not better.
Peaceful non-violent protest, respect for your city, and respect for your fellow man (no matter what race or class) is the only way to go on this. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
