This race card crap and justifying this looting and burning is going to accomplish one thing.
There isn't many people trying to justify the looting and burning at all. Weather or not you understand it, (probably not, you're an old white guy) blacks especially face far more scrutiny and brutality from the police than you. They get pulled over more, they get searched more, they get beaten by the police more. I cant say if thats because their behavior is so much worse, (caused by culture), because it statically is, because of racism (intentional or inadvertent), or some combination their of.
Even blacks who have disowned black culture face this same threat every day. You don't understand this, you have not lived it. You've never been in a targeted minority. To them a kid died, because a police officer was out of line. When people showed up to protest the were brutally abused by the police.
I don't think you can get what this is about. To you cops are heroes, virtuous, respectable. To many blacks, they are oppressors, harassers, predators.
People showed up to protest police brutality, they were met with armed forces more neglectful with force than the military would have used in hostel territory.
You can't point machine guns at people you don't intend to kill, and expect them to be happy about it.
