Yeah, peaceful protest never achieves anything. I mean... just image for a second that the 1963 March on Washington had ended in widespread rioting and looting - does anyone think the Civl Rights Act of 1964 would have been passed in that case?
This violence is extremely counterproductive and buries the good cause/case the Minneapolis black community had.
You would need a leader without a hole in the head to lead that.
Who stepping up the get shot in the head and have a day to remember them by?
Also the Cincinnati riots worked for police reform. Officer roach killed Timothy Thomas, We rioted, The police went on strike and the city didn't burn down, and then we were able to have a conversation that led to something. Now we have a professional police force with a good relationship with its community.
But that summer somebody was strangled in handcuffs, A morbidly obese guy was tazed to the death in a White Castle parking lot, And a cop shot an unarmed guy over tickets because he was scared.
Only problems we have are with University of Cincinnati cops. Fucking Ray Tensing shot a guy in the back of the head while wearing a confederate battle flag shirt under his uniform.
The last peaceful protests was black lives matter and you guys laughed at them and say all lives matter.
BLM has gone nowhere.

if there's one thing that irks me in these situations is woke whiteys speaking for and acting on behalf of black people. "Black people have been denied a voice for too long, but i'm one of the good whiteys and can speak for them". like what?
You would be saying that right now about John Brown, you're just in a reactionary phase.
