I mean yeah, but it’s still just about the worst way to resolve that problem.
we had people blocking traffic on the highway during rush hour a couple years ago and that was basically fine? or at least superior to lighting buildings on fire??

Yeah i’d
Much rather be stuck in traffic for a few hours than have my building be lit on fire
Is the confusing part of the sentence ‘why are your police doing that’ or ‘why are people protesting that’

Obviously the first one. That phrase just makes no sense to me. I’m aware that sometimes law forces have to deal with violent criminals but killing unarmed people?
How the hell is this a thing.
Alright mod chloe time
Talking about what is happening is one thing
If we’re going to talk about why, we should probably not do this here and move to discord
Also for some reason it feels like you think I’m a psychopath if you had to ask that question.
I’m messed up but not that much.
I was more parsing it as a local norms thing
like someone from somewhere where the police don’t kill unarmed people would be more likely to mean it in the first way whereas somewhere where the police do it regularly would be more likely to mean it in the second way (sort of like how I wouldn’t expect protests over, I don’t know, some random shoplifter being sent to jail for shoplifting, because that’s a normal occurrence)
that whole situation is yikes
the shooting was tragic but the response is not really… what i’d expect
I honestly think that the looters aren’t actually doing it for the cause and just doing it as a cover for chaos and stealing
