Was there riots, violence and looting during the state capitol protests ?

Firchrissake, the point is if you're white, the cops give you a pass, and if you're black they kill you. The whole "looting and torching" thing is done SPECIFICALLY to distract you from the real issue. Apparently it's working on some of you.

Yep. 

All Americans understand that if those guys had been black they would have been massacred. 

Are you the official spokesperson of all the American people ?

We ALL are spokespersons trying to defend our nonwhite fellow Americans. How many white parents have to have "the talk" with their kids - the one where they tell them if a cop pulls you over, you MUST keep your hands on the steering wheel at 10 & 2, ALWAYS move slowly so as not to arouse suspicion, speak with the utmost courtesy so as not to get killed? That's right, NONE. That's only BLACK parents/kids.

Policing only ever works when you have policing by consent. That means society support the police against the minority of criminals who attack society in various ways.

 

Policing starts losing consent when politicians start politicizing the police; use the police as a political tool; experiment with engineering society, and most importantly, stop the police enforcing the law equally, fairly, and without favor or discrimination.

 What is the "real issue"?

Can you give some instances of when there was mass civil unrest , similar to whats been going on in the last few days , by White people and the authorities have given them a "pass" ?

Again, outside agitators whose aim is to distract simple minded people away from the systemic killing/lynching of blacks that is still going on.

Already told you twice. You intentionally ignore, so no more time wasted on you.

I see criminal elements taking advantage of a largely peaceful protest, to thieve, loot, burn, destroy and attack the police. 

 

Shame on them for using the unlawful killing of a man by a now ex and arrested police officer as a cover for their criminal activities.

The police officer who murdered an unarmed Australian lady who was actually reporting what she thought to be a crime didn't give her a pass. He was from Africa. 

 

I don't remember mass demonstrations of Australians, and white sympathizers going on thieving and destroying sprees in protest.

I disagree , White kids are also told (by their parents)  to do what a Policemen says (and not to be rude)

Every parent regardless of color better have that discussion. You bet your ass I had that discussion with my son. I didn't stop there, I instructed my kid in the early 2000's all you said above and a cop will never, ever search your car without warrant, no police will ever be allowed inside the house without a warrant.

There are those religious extremists who welcome such things as a final days sign the apocalypse and their savior is coming.  There are racial and political extremists on the right who would like to see a race war in America that they hope would end up "purifying" the country. Sad to say, there are "Americans" who think and believe such things.

Because protests are the problem in Trump's view, NOT the killing of black people. Trump is NOT a rational leader and most of the world recognizes this.

 

That is true, but I think you're imagining Biden's response might have been better. Biden said today "You ought to shoot them in the leg instead of the heart" amongst other malaprops. Of course every thing he says has the benefit of being a reaction to the worst president has ever seen. Personally, I don't see that as cause enough to elect the second worse president America will ever see. I'd rather clean the slate.

If I was stateside you better believe I'd be locked and loaded in my country home or my house in the city.

Threatening to use violence to stop the protests can hardly be considered to be inciting the protests

Complete opposite actually, had Trump stated that he wouldn't use force, that would have incited the protestors

I'm seeing plenty of footage of people protesting peacefully. Not hard to find if you're interested. It doesn't take huge numbers of people to set fires or criminals to take advantage of the cover protests provide. Been there, seen it firsthand. From this situation, I've seen a lot of reports of peaceful protest, even people protecting a police officer cut off from his buddies. Fires and looting too of course. But looks to me like there's a lot more genuine protesters than criminals.

Of COURSE there are. The looter/criminals are there to take advantage of a situation to distract from the real issue. This has been their game plan for years. Anyone who pretends that blacks have the same chances and are treated as equals in the US is either ignorant or worse.

Fortunately for you, since presumably you're not black, you don't have to worry quite as much about the police shooting you or choking you out.

 

Too bad you don't live on the other side of the racial street so you could experience first-hand that which you seem to condone.

I believe that Blacks do indeed have the same chances as Non Blacks in the USA .

Could you list the reasons on why you think that Blacks do not have the same chances as non Blacks ?

And you repeatedly ignore the fact that these thieves, arsonists etc are not the real protesters. They are outside agitators. When you make these ridiculous posts, they deflect from the real issue at hand.

Trump Pledges to Deploy Troops Across the U.S. Amid Protests.

“As we speak,” Trump said, “I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily-armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults and the wanton destruction of property.”

It is incredible that in the pretext of a protest, that people resort to looting, vandalism, assaults and the wanton destruction of property. I thought this happens only in the undeveloped countries, where the people are not 'so' educated or developed!

It seems, I am mistaken, dismally mistaken!

So the THOUSANDS of folk burning, destroying are what, non Americans, just out for a laugh...? 

Whether the USA or the UK, the rabble will crawl out, IF they think they will get home without a problem and a TV.

When this sh_t starts, gas, water, whatever should be used to send them packing. If it were a parade with a Vicar leading it singing psalms doing their protesting there would be no problem, but sadly there is more rabble heading for the "protesting"..
