    I think they should worry abut their safety after they dived into the crowd.

    No but at this point almost none of it is

    It's total anarchy and that isn't acceptable either

    They were throwing **** at the vehicles, police have been attacked elsewhere, businesses are being looted

    Everyone should go home and let it blow over as a lot of what is going on is just opportunistic assholes co opted this for personal gain

    Without legitimate protests, they have no cover

    I think the looting needs to stop. But the protestors should have an organized disruption. They should find ways to break the law like the sit-ins did. Those ways should not include violence and looting.

    The Occupy Movement would likely have been more violent with a Republican.

    It was about class divide post-08...until Obama gave money (and phones!!!!!) to all poor/unemployed which made po whites felt like they "lost their dignity" by waiting in the same welfare lines. Trump is different because he gives them the "Iowan Farmer" treatment...

    I guess it became hard to preach about "working hard and no handouts" when you're down on your luck.

    why the panic? why curfew and national guards?
    They are not setting people, airport, government buildings on fire yet. Aren't they the same 'freedom fighters' as in HK?

    Dude how slow are you in the head? Do you think these operations would be posted in public on Twitter? The only idiot that would do something like that is too scared to say much of anything right now.

    They are certainly rioting for a reason, an underlying reason that hasn’t been addressed. There is a reason that we haven’t seen anything like this before.

    When a nation has riots that last days and are across the country, there are serious problems in that nation.

    The inequality in income and treatment towards the bottom half has reached a boiling point.

    You can point to Biden, but this isn’t magically going away. There will be changes and massive ones.. it just may not be obvious at first.

    I thought cops only targeted black people? So confused.
    This can only be addressed at the county level. If cops are going around hunting blacks like animals then you need to elect a DA who will prosecute them.

    That's it. It's actually a really easy fix. It should be really easy in these big cities. They're all run by democrats.

    Wrong. This is a police mentality problem. The local DA can help but reform needs to come from within the police community itself.

    And you're right -- all of the best cities in America generally vote for Democrats. An astute observation my man-

    that was China, 1989, after 4 months of riot ..........USA is achieving that in 2020, in the first week of the protesting. Bravo, true 'democracy'.

    Hope from this point on, one country could stop bombing and b****ing other countries in the name of 'democracy'. You have none of it.
