- s_y_n_t_a_x 6y agoWhen you don't prevent looting the looters will be confronted by cops and they will then choose to take the cops life or go to jail. This is what happened to David Dorn.
- pc86 6y agoLuckily most of us have the ability to focus on as many as two things simultaneously. You can be in favor of protesting in general, these protests specifically, and still have a problem with seemingly random destruction of innocent people's property. I hate whataboutism as much as anyone, but just as insidious is the same mental failing on the other side of the spectrum where you're "not allowed" to look at anything other than whatever "the focus" is.
- vmception 6y agoYes, we are able to. Many of us are choosing to separate the looters from the protesters, primarily because there is accuracy in that, and there is no need to dilute the message. We are choosing to reframe the "its bad he died, whats up with the property damage" to "the property damage is bad, lets fix why he died", to make the message and focus less diluted. And for people that aren't in that particular filter bubble and gravitate to focusing on ways of discrediting the civil unrest, I will help reiterate the message of how to realign that focus.
- krzyk 6y ago> ... why are police killing citizens with little accountability? Any statistics to back that up? "it is known" is not good data
- vmception 6y agowhich part would you like data on? police killing citizens? what is your goal post on accountability? I'll try to match those standards with sources once I know what your standards are
