inb4 rioting isnt cool

 

Yeah okay thats true,

 

but ceasing peaceful protesting & using unnecessary force is unlawful.

 

People are not concerned for those rioting and looting the stores, theyre concerned for those haven't been even given their lawful right to protest and instead are being abused by the police.

Hmmm.... We have our problems, but if you really knew American History you would know that this country was NOT founded on freedom. It was about money and power. That is the bullshit they give to you in grade school depending on your teacher. It is mandatory for APUSH teachers to give the whole side.

America is a paradox.

The countless imposed Acts, Slavery, the Native Americans, the wealth American land was giving the owners did not want to give up...

The Emancipation Proclamation was a war strategy for the North the win.

Dawes Act stripped the land away from Native American signed by a man who was only 1/8th Native American.  

no it was founded on religious freedom. please give me a source as to where you're finding your bullshit.

Here is the source of my all my Bullshit: 

 

First you must know the functions and cultures of the each colony and Royal colonies and Companies that funded the colonies for huge profit and so they could exist

For example here is the Massachusetts Bay colony Charter http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/documents/1600-1650/charter-of-massachusetts-bay-1629.php

 

Here is a rundown of some colonies the major ones:

Massachusetts Bay----> Puritans; Tight Community; City upon the hill- John Winthrop; Harvard College-religious school

Rhode Island-----> Utopia...Rodger Williams when against both churches and believed that anybody could become what they want and find their own destiny. The place where misfits live. 

Pennsylvania-----> Quaker Land; Huge Lumber industry; William Penn

Maryland----> Catholics

Virginia---> Profit; Virginia Company; Corn and tobacco 

South Carolina and Georgia---> Criminals fled here; Oglethorpe land merged with Popes moved to AL. 

North Carolina-----> Pirates and Roanoke. Hardly anyone lived here because of the rocky shores. Many people came here from Ilse of Wight Virginia the Popes, Exums and the McKinneys (or Mackquinneys) really built that up. http://www.jstor.org/stable/1916111?seq=2

Pilgrims/Puritans had already found Religious freedom in Holland, but they did not have enough money to survive.

Chesapeake Bay Colony

Men were brought in from the English companies. They were promised land if they build it up and survive which was hard with the Bloody Flux going down the river.

To say that America is founded on 'religious freedom' is ignoring the all other aspects of the formula. Majority of America was found on profit even with the idea of Manifest Destiny in the west and 'Sea to shining Sea' and the Louisiana Purchase.

The news gave me the impression that last night was peaceful, but apparently the police were out in riot gear and armored vehicles and haven't given up on using tear gas.

I don't understand the police strategy at all. If they were completely peaceful last night the protests would probably die out within a night or two. Their aggressiveness is what's really fueling this - people are mad, yes, but sadly, public outrage dies down quickly. So if they had peacefully let people protest and promised to bring the guilty cop to justice it probably would have ended real fast. What keeps those protesters (rightfully) angry is that while they attempt to peacefully protest a murder, they're being teargassed and shot with rubber bullets (while the police refuse to stop looters who are stealing and burning down stores). So I'm not sure what the police are trying to do, but they're not doing the smart thing. I guess we'll have to see how tonight goes.
