(34,648 posts)I find that to be more important. So do MANY of the residents. I do not place property owners in a special category above regular folks. So I do not care as much about their property as I do about black lives.
People were against the protests about the Rodney King beating. Other people were fed the fuck up with cops getting away with abuse. The city is better now. Nicer than it was. Stores cleaner, roaches and rats no longer living in shops. And the department finally got investigated for abuse and guess what? Guilty of conspiracy. Planting evidence, falsifying reports, beatings, false arrest to increase numbers.
How many more years should young blacks quietly put up with abuse from our white majority who care more about things than black lives.
Oh, and when you do the 'some black people hate protests' thing, it reminds me that some black people fought for the confederacy.
