I'm just saying I do not have time to do what they are doing, I also do not have time to hang on the streets, so I'm either home or at work. Between working and focusing on my family you would not find me in the situation where I'm running into stupid cops.

Maybe most are unemployed and the ones we see are the ones who are sick of being jobless?

While you were in the army this was a standard proceedure?

Silly of me, but I hope people stay calm and rational.
Beez, when I was in the Army, our little bunch would consider this a "leverage point".
If, for some reason, you needed the place torn up, or if you were after one side or the other, you find opportunities like this, run in, and give it a great big shove, then unass the AO and watch the show from a nearby roof.
Just gear up as the group you want smeared, make sure you're seen, and give it some sort of unforgettable push. Unass the area, remove and destroy the clothing, and skip off into the darkness.
It's surprising to me no-one's done this yet, given all the opportunities and the length of time this has gone on.

I'm pretty sure the tactics you are referring too are war crimes

Exactly what I was thinking...Time to loot and destroy somebody else's property.
I think you need a dictionary. Protestors are NOT Looters. One easy way to tell is that Protestors want to be seen and heard. So you can imagine why linking the two together just marginalizes the Protestors even more.
Fat Mike needed some blunt wraps and got stupid then got himself dead.
So you're saying we need to take all petty theft/shop lifters and shoot them on site???
To make this guy a martyr is a joke. The black community has very valid complaints.
You're right they do have valid complaints. Hence the Protesting. Too bad nobody cares to listen to them and just keeps calling them looters, criminals, etc. and telling them to go home and shut up.
But this just looks like a chance for some to steal.
Yep, because that's what it's all about for 'them' isn't it. Just thieves looking to steal something. Maybe someone can steal you a dictionary.
