dont riot. it's not cool
Yeah, what you wrote didn't make sense to me because that's not what I was saying. "You also seemed to try and use that quote to back up rioting when that wasn't what he was advocating / saying ." "He never advocated that - he was just calling attention that there was a real and deep issue going on." I'm condemning the use of mainstream media. The riot was a result of individuals frustrated by the police and the current situation when they finally reaching a boiling point. The property damage can be repaired, but death is irreversible. The entire point is that the police are out of hand, and their misconduct goes unpunished. I'm glad that Mike Brown's family is encouraging everyone to abstain from violence, but honestly debating on whether or not a riot is justified or not seems so unnecessary when the real problem is all of the injustices being committed by the authorities who are supposed to be protecting the people, not hurting them.

I'm not saying he advocated that, so can you clarify what you meant? The problem of racial inequality still exists today, I wouldn't say it has been resolved. Peaceful protests are good, that's been established. Nobody pays as much attention to that as they should though. I don't recall seeing anything on the news about the community acting in a peaceful manner before the looting and vandalism began. Mainstream media takes the authorities' perspective when it should remain objective. Yes there are biased reports present from both sides, however I find it very hard to believe that what the people who are involved are posting is less accurate than what the news is covering.

Alright I really did not want to continue this. That actually was what he was saying, I don't understand what you mean by that. A riot is the voice of the unheard, that is literally the point I was trying to make. And see I disagree, I think this riot and all the commotion will help in the long run. Again I don't get what you mean by that, but maybe you should look away from mainstream media to get information. They aren't even showing the other side of the issue. Peaceful protests are reasonable but aren't working for them.

Obviously, I was just showing you a quote he said as it applies perfectly to this situation. They are rioting for MUCH more than the death of an innocent kid. This is about racial inequality, police brutality and discrimination that has been going on for far too long. After the police instigated the protestors by calling them animals and acting like racist pigs is when the riot broke out. Like I wrote before, how else would they be heard? But whatever, I'm not going to continue discussing this with you as we both have differing opinions and neither is going to change.

Just scroll up. Speaking of Martin Luther King Jr., he once said "A riot is the language of the unheard." There are better ways to handle it, I agree, but in this case it seems there are no viable alternatives. How else will they be heard? They have every right to be angry, and if a riot is what it takes to get everybody's attention so be it. Nobody pays attention to when they are peaceful, and when things get violent the media shows you only what they want to show you.

I completely agree with what you wrote before you edited it. Do you guys not realize that the protest was peaceful before the police intervened? The cops aggravated the situation, yet nobody seems to acknowledge this. Mike Brown was unarmed and was unlawfully shot and the community is grieving, yet all the media and most of the people commenting on this thread can focus on is the riot. This isn't the first time police have murdered a black person who posed no threat whatsoever. The people have reached a tipping point. Forget about the firetrucking riot and focus on what actually matters. "The fact our society is more willing to condemn the destruction of property before the death of a black man speaks volumes as to the sort of change we need."
