I’m not sure I buy this theory, but I didn’t see a bunch of cops at the DAs house where there were tons of protesters yesterday…
Wouldn’t it be better if the riots were occurring at the cops’ houses instead of places of business?

I’m not sure I buy it either. I’m just brainstorming possible answers to why there haven’t been any arrests. I think most agree it makes no sense. Cause the arrests are going to happen at some point, wouldn’t we agree? Not doing it now only will lead to more trouble this weekend, and who wants that on their head?
I’m wandering though the aftermath right now, pretty wild. Buildings are still on fire. You cant get that close because the cops and national guard have the street blocked off but what I believe was the 3rd precinct building was smoking and half reduced to rubble.

Quick question: Is anybody here defending the cop?
I mean this thread seems like in*0 bait.
I am ok with destruction of property, but not vigilante justice. I think a mob outside their homes ends very poorly for all.

Streets are half flooded from all the fire fighting, buildings are pouring water out of the upper floors

Someone tell Trump, he’ll change that tweet right away!
I don’t think they’re vigilantes either.
I could easily see a prosecutor thinking that it is better to wait out the violence so as not to give the impression of being forced to act rather than plodding along at their own pace. Some people just don’t like being told what to do.
I mean, I would venture a guess that police are generally ok with the destruction taking place. Even Hannity wasn’t willing to defend these cops. But now MAGA fucks can pretend the murder and the general state of society that led to this never happened, and just tut tut about thugs burning down their own city.

MAGA fucks will always find something to tut tut about. We should just tell them to fuck off.

By the way, if you told me a week ago that I’d be paying no attention to COVID-19 this week, I’d have thought you were nuts. 2020 man.

Right. All the rioting will deflect attention away from the police offense. Looks like tonight they will crack down harder and eventually the protests will die out from exhaustion.
Yeah I mean to be clear I’m not saying “oh these protests only serve to help the right”. I’m in favor of them. I felt some immense catharsis watching that precinct burn. I just don’t think the police/DA are looking at this in the context of “don’t you realize you can stop this by arresting the murderer?” They’ll arrest him in 3-4 days and smugly be like “see, you just needed to let the system do its job”. Then in a year they’ll all be acquitted.

Yeah. But some can see the writing on the wall. It takes a lot of balls to watch a city burn down while you “investigate” especially when you know you’re going to eventually file charges anyway.
If thats the case… then they’ll figure out how to get the cop off, same as it ever was. We’ll keep doing the smaller protests for the normal ones, then in a few years some cop will manage to surpass this and some other city will burn.
