For a nation whose very own Foreign Policies are racist, brutal and terrifying to those they loot from, to get all moralistic over a store burning, when they ignore the murder by cop of over 5,000 American citizens over ten years, shouldn't surprise anyone. The hypocrisy is of massive proportions.
Property damage, look at the attention it is getting, the outrage at the very notion that anyone would even think to do such a thing.
Then look at the reaction over ten years by those very same people to the thousands of murders committed by Cops.
Something is a little off in this country, and that's putting it mildly.
I'm surprised there are so few riots considering the level of violence and destruction of property caused by the so-called Civilian Police. And I don't necessarily lay all the blame at the feet of the thugs that are being hired to police this country.
Where is the Government action to stop this slaughter of American citizens by Cop?
We ran off to Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, and thrashed their people and countries because of 9/11.
We were told how much our government 'cared' about its people that they simply HAD to go get revenge on their behalf.
How come then, if they care so much about the people, the daily brutalization of Americans, mostly minorities and the poor, doesn't raise an eyebrow until they set something on fire, then the outraged is directed at THEM?
