There are loads of conspiracy theories going around.

About the riots in America. Ive heard that its been created by Russian bots, white supremecists agent provocateurs, 'Antifa' etc.

Noboby really knows wtf is going on and every media source is pushing an agenda.

The intersting question is why is this thing hapoening?

What caused the circumstances that led to this man's death and why did it cause riots throughout America.

I’ve been thinking about this a whole lot. Black people are over represented in violent crime statistics in the states. Also tend to get longer sentences and harsher treatment by the police due to this fact. According to what I’ve read anyway.
Shouldn’t one be looking at the root cause of these problems? And seriously look at your police force and how they have their biases ingrained? And perhaps train them to recognise those biases.

It’s a good question.

@Invocations In 2019 19 unarmed white men were killed by policeman in America-- 9 black men were. At least according to one Washington Post (?) reporter of color I heard speaking today.

@GERRI it still doesn’t justify unnecessary brutality of police on any race.

@Invocations wasn't meant to justify anything. But did you know it?

@GERRI I know it wasn’t. And no I didn’t.

@GERRI Yes but there are a lot more white people in America. I think a reason so many black Americans are angry is because this one mans death is just an egregious example of their own experiences with the police.

@Burnley123 sounds as if you are justifying police killing unarmed white men.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@GERRI No, it really doesn't.

The whataboutary argument here is your own.

GERRI · 51-55, F

@Burnley123 whataboutism? Accusing me of that in this instance is just pure nonsense. You seem triggered by the death of 9 unarmed black men at the hands of policeman but seem to shrug off the death of 19 unarmed white men. Does it not fit your political ambition? Does it not aid your wanting fail of America?
