I’m sure many will have a problem with that post but I don’t.
Regarding the bolded paragraph, yes. No one here approve of cops being thrown bricks at them, being thrown urine bottles or lord know what else.
If you want change, if you want your government to listen to you and as despicable the violence are, doing « sittings » peacefully has never achieved S**t. I’m deeply troubled by the violence even though I’m not even American, and the store owners didn’t deserve all this, but neither did Mister Floyd.
Up to the Justice and the Judge that will handle this case to give a proper sentence. Not up to the mobs and SJW on social media’s but seriously, if Mr Chauvin gets away with it or is granted some leniency, America will keep burning to the ground.
It has, not always but then again at one point, although many people might be in the street, it does' nt mean they represent everyone. The violence at the ultra leftist "nuit debout" protests in France, or the yellow vests protest in France where most people could not really formulate what they were upset about, except that the president should resign...
And that is where I am going. What are you asking the government? What rights are you deprived of? What cannot be changed by going voting every four or five years? What can' t be improved by your own adapting to a changing situation.
If you live in a dictatorship, if you are emprisoned for simply holding up a sign asking for early elections, then perhaps violence is not avoidable. if the justice system is rigged, if you have a president for life (even not officially), then the struggle is hard. The irony is that only in a democracy can you have the level of cr@p that you see here.
In France when the government tried to kill the catholic schools, large crowds turned out and overturned it...no violence. In Slovakia, after the murder of a journalist and his fiancee by interests close to the government, in a ramping corrupt and toxic environment where attorney general and government hand in hand made sure no investigation was rightfully led to conclusion...peaceful protests got rid at first of the police chief and the interior minister, and then the Prime minister...and the elections did the rest.
In France or in the US, violence from protest groups achieve things...but things that are not right either...nor fair.
George Floyd sure did not deserve to die, and it' s amazing that police officers just watched that without reacting. People have the right to be angry, very angry. but I will not get behind that. What do these people want that they cannot achieve by going to vote, by campaigning for more professional sheriffs, or judges?
