video inside minneaplolis target store....

[msongs]

target part ends 1:15. no clue as to the fire

1. Rinse and repeat, innocent man gets killed by police

followed by riots, followed by looting.

[Igel]

2. And arson.

Just to show that people are really upset and want to punish the perpetrators.

Which is apparently everybody that's not them.

3. Quite Frankly, I don't give a damn, and I don't care how unpopular my thoughts are

I give a damn about the trauma and the pain those young people are feeling. I give a damn about the nausea, and knot in my stomach that I have daily worrying about the safety of my child.

Paul Butler said it best tonight. Its not about what is happening in Minnesota tonight, its about that America has never been safe for black people. I don't give a fuck about Target when we get up everyday and feel like we can't exist without being hunted.

5. I am from India, and my skin is just as dark as any one here

and I spent 3 decades living in Chicago, where cops are known to be rough.
But I never felt threatened because I never argued with the cops. If they stopped my car, which was many times,
I politely told them I was sorry for speeding or whatever the cop said I did, and half the times they let me go without a ticket.
Other half times I went to the traffic court and told the judge some sob story, and almost never got fined.
The judge would just order me to go to one day traffic laws education school in Chicago.

So I can not really say that lot of cops want to hurt dark skinned people.

13. Hooray for you! You get a cookie. I'm not even going to entertain this

Nice bubble you got there.

[at140]

14. Hey it worked! Can't argue with success!

Result is I have lived to ripe old age of 80 without any harm.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. "Inside story."

[Tipperary]

10. Do you doubt the veracity of the video?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. No, why?

[Tipperary]

6. They all look very upset about the murdered man.

Smh. Had to laugh at the guy taking the vacuum. Gift for his mom?

[LanternWaste]

12. As have you...

And said with the precise same amount of sincerity as was yours.








Or you could, y'know... focus on the three common denominators of ALL riots in the post-industrial age. Blaming steam for escaping a teapot is a waste of time if one dutifully ignores the stove itself.

But I get it... it certainly allows for the warm comfort of self-serving sanctimony.

Again, " though the truth of it stands off as gross as black and white, my eye will scarcely see it..." (Shakespeare... give him a read one day)

[tblue37]

7. Most will be tracked down and arrested because there are so many videos. nt

[Tipperary]

8. Yes, I know that has happened in other such instances.

Not only dishonest, but apparently not very bright to steal in a store that has cameras.

[cwydro]

9. Whoa.

It's going to be easy to identify many of those people.

As soon as the cops start asking for help from the community and announcing rewards - they're going to regret wanting those sheets, TVs, clothes quite so much.
