Ok, let them come to your hood, kick your door in. Then sit back and call the cops while they ransack your house and harm your family. Call the cops and wait for them to arrest them. Let us know how that works out.

I looked at a Camaro at the Chevy dealer next to this one back in 2016. They had to back each car over a parking block to deter thefts as it was apparently a big issue

This is what, ahem, "peaceful protests" boil down to. A legitimate/somewhat legitimate cause and then looters start to take advantage of the situation. I even saw Facebook posts that actually try to justify the violence. Guess that's why I don't use Facebook anymore.

Anyway, dealers have insurance to cover most of the damage, hopefully. Cars will be tracked down as I believe dealers would have to take the car out of the demo mode or whatever before a real customer take delivery and the thieves obviously can't bypass that.

The typical practice is to bring them to chop shops but I am not sure about the intelligence of those thieves. Maybe they will actually try to sell them or try to drive around in them.
If you compare the size of the groups that are looting to the groups that are peacefully protesting you can notice that a small number are the looters. The looters are all opportunist taking advantage of the situation. It's shameful, really takes away from whats really going on.

The protesters and looters together are still a mob anyway you describe it and they have a mob mentality.

Animals is the correct term, they are acting like wild animals and need to be treated as so IMO. Although I would love to see all of them shot it will cause more instances like this. They should be prosecuted and sent to jail for their crimes. Unfortunately our penal system is a joke with liberal judges handing out short prison time and they only do 40% of that and get out with "good" behavior.

The demands of the protest organizer to keep things peaceful are extreme and unwarranted.

And it’s really unbelievable how the main News networks are condoning the riots and damage saying that the mob is entitled to damage, destroy and cause chaos in our city streets.

You have to wonder what would happen if a white guy with a rap sheet half as long as George's was killed by the cops in a justifiable, or as in this case, a clearly unjustifiable manner. I have a pretty good idea that everyone would say he got what he deserved regardless of the circumstances. His mom and immediate family would likely be the only ones making any noise.

You don't hear about that happening because if it ever does it's super rare. Kind of the entire point here. Black people are protesting because what cops do to them isn't rare and isn't similar to how cops interact with white people.

Cops need to change and they aren't doing it without the protests so maybe they are necessary. That's the people in charges fault... Not the people protestings.

Finding this hard to believe. Especially in this era of viral videos and riots. Maybe, just maybe, there is more to this than we are being told just rile everyone up?

I'm trying to figure why that cop needed to sit there with his knee on Floyd's neck for over 8 minutes cutting off blood supply to his carotid artery. He was already handcuffed at that point and the other cop was still restraining his feet, I believe. The guy was big, but that wasn't necessary.

Also, instead of hiring these small little midget skinny arm cops, maybe they should start hiring some larger fit guys who will feel safe around big suspects like Floyd who are hand cuffed. It's obvious these small little cops are intimidated around bigger people and that makes them resort to using dangerous over the top tactics like this to feel safe.
