Random Thought..

When Rodney King was beat by the police in 1992 they rioted in LA for 6 days resluting in the death of 53 people..

Two decades later Police kill a detained unarmed african american and a foot locker gets broken into? SMFH

Im not saying i condone or want to riot, im just curious as to why it was so important we got our voices heard back then but not now?

People get racially targeted by police and assaulted everyday.. but not murdered.

any thoughts?

a bunch of cops got completely let off the hook for beating someones ass


this cop got involuntary manslaughter and a gun charge which COULD add up to 14 years

no real reason to riot until the judge announces that he's just getting probation

doubt the gun charge will stick and if it does it wont be close to the max.

basically,

we're in a soft ass skinny jean twitter usin pill poppin lazy ass generation that watches too much tv and lost interest in goin hard for justice, i dont think that shit would happen again anywhere

I think they rioted right away cuz them pigs where aquitted. I think it's not over until sentencing.

hence the reason i said the judge will announce that he gets probation lol

There's already a thread saying basically the same shit


There ain't shit in Downtown Oakland, the place that the riots happened at in LA were lined with stores & shit....plus the police were more prepared for these riots, which didn't seem as bad as the previous 2 riots in Oakland

Race played a huge role in the la riots, la is still racially divided whereas they bay is racially harmonious. Don't get it twisted tho, Oakland is still violent

Oh I know bout the violence, i was speakin on racial violence

the riots that occurred in 2009 after the videos of Oscar getting murdered surfaced put pressure on the system to take this trial seriously.
