Riots, looting, vandalism, etc.

Hey, you probably have a car too.
Why don't you get some like minded neighbors together, and flip it over.

That'll show me!!

Why does anyone need to show you anything? You’re clearly not interested in the underlying issues. You’d rather just stand on the sidelines and cluck your tongue. Proving anything to people like you is a pointless endeavor.

Not quite. According to the (Trump/McConnel fanboy) Kentucky AG, the state declined to prosecute because state police and FBI crime labs came to different conclusions regarding who specifically shot Taylor. According to the AG, this constituted "reasonable doubt" as far as criminal liability.

All kinds of shady though.

Gosh, it must be nice to have the Attorney General in your corner when you’re facing murder charges.

I’m sure if it was a bunch of black dudes shooting up some nice white couple’s home in the middle to the night, this wouldn’t have turned out the same way.

If this happened to white people, no matter the races of the police involved, it wouldn't have turned out the same way. Heck, they probably wouldn't have done a no-knock warrant if it were white people.
 
So shooting high-velocity rounds into a house and killing an innocent person isn’t the crime.

Failing to successfully kill other people in neighboring apartments is the crime.

The killing of breonna Taylor not a crime according to grand jury. One cop charged for wanton endangerment because the gunfire placed neighbors at risk.

Seems like a riot is in order.

Nah, no point burning businesses and the like.

Now, if folks burn some cop cars, or a precinct building, as long as it's abandoned first, okay. And if someone shoots cops in response, well, it'd be wrong, but I do understand the anger behind it.

But in the end, it's just another PD that needs to be muzzled, meaning defunded, or disbanded and replaced, one of many across the US. Better to be productive, than just flail around and wreck things like a MAGAt.

(I note that I haven't heard anything on the people who outright lied to a judge to obtain that no-knock warrant being brought up on perjury charges either.)

Breonna now has her own thread. I shared similar sentiment about the warrant. Even with what the judge was told, she should have never granted a warrant.

One of many reasons that local AGs should not preside over such matters - ideally it would go to the federal level, every cop involved would have their professional license revoked permanently, and just for reference, we stop electing overt overt white supremacists like Dolt 45 to oversee any such matter.
 
Going to have to bounce around some other live streams. It's odd to say Louisville live streams were calmer than I've seen in the past even though there were multiple shootings. Still early though.
 
I don't see how anything the cops did was even vaguely, slightly wrong. It's sad that she got caught in the crossfire, but she was renting cars that drug dealers ended up dead in, letting her apartment be used as a drug and drug money exchange point (at a minimum), etc. - so... she had chosen a certain type of life style and company that don't tend to be good for your life prospects.

The riots are predictable, and everyone blocking traffic / burning businesses / attacking cops or citizens / smashing windows / looting - should all be dealt with in a way I won't specify.

Uncle Tom, I guess?

It’s sad that you think this is some kind of trump card. This is basically just a version of the “Some of my best friends are black” argument, and most people stopped buying that canard along time ago.

If a lumberjack kills someone you don't even know and doesn't get charged with murder, although it's wrong, do you understand the anger behind shooting random lumberjacks? I understand that police should be held to a different, higher standard than lumberjacks but where is the line in this continuum where shooting random people of a particular persuasion or profession in a fit of impotent rage goes from being understandable to abhorrent?

To put it more bluntly:

"Uncle Tom" is a label that US black communities use to label those black Americans who harm them by advancing white supremacy. This is it's only legitimate use, and from a person who revels in anti-black racist stereotypes, such as the person you quoted, it's no better than tossing out any other slur regardless.

Shocking.

Totally plausible.

On a completely unrelated note, here’s a steaming pile of horse **** you once concocted to defend a racist lunatic convicted of murder.

The riots are predictable, and everyone blocking traffic / burning businesses / attacking cops or citizens / smashing windows / looting - should all be dealt with in a way I won't specify.

This obviously comes from a place of ethical integrity and respect for the law.

Anyway, here’s you excusing the illegal behavior of a racist lunatic convicted of murder.

If you squint your eyes just right - and of course ignore history and context - this analogy almost isn’t stupid.

If the lumberjack union consistently protected crazed lunatics in their membership that butchered people using axes and chainsaws, often violently assaulted anyone that protests them for doing so, printed shirts mocking the victims, thus literally adding insult to injury, were rarely or never held accountable for any of the above, and then repeatedly ran to the press to moan and whine about how "nobody likes us lumberjacks" while right wing marbleheads and muppets asserted that it was good that their victims were ax-murdered because they once smoked weed, or had a picture where they were making a peace sign, or some other unimportant matter that had no bearing on the murder...yes, I'd understand it quite well, and I'd still assert that it's wrong to exact revenge in such a manner.

See? Easy.

ETA: None of the above is meant to reflect the behavior of actual lumberjacks, who as far as I know have a more dangerous job than US police, are highly interested in the safety of everyone around them, and to my knowledge have never used machine guns to mow down striking workers.

Unlike various police, whose "unions", yet again, bear little resemblance to other unions or professional societies.
