From Los Angeles to New York, many storefronts have been affected by vandalism, and despite what concerned citizens seem to think, the brand’s actual owners are saying, more or less,. “A life cannot be replaced,” Marc Jacobs wrote in an Instagram post in response to vandalism at his Los Angeles boutique that found his name crossed out and replaced with Sandra Bland and George Floyd – two Black lives lost to police brutality.
The difference, however, is that businesses have insurance to replace their windows and merchandise whereas human life cannot be replaced. Vandalism and looted storefronts are unfortunate and unproductive for the community they serve, however inconsequential compared to the loss faced by Black Americans for the past 400 years.
It’s a very important discussion. Social Justice is important but condoning criminal mischief is not the answer. Destroying property and violence are not the path to create change. Peaceful protest is the way to bring awareness and promote understanding.
Will destroying property bring them back? Or make a point? Peaceful demonstrations.
Again, WTAF is going on at Instyle? Are they getting hacked or did they hire a woke liberal to handle their Twitter feed? This isn’t InPolitics, it’s InStyle, folks.
Your looters took lives!
👍
So sorry for the peaceful protests that were treated badly. Sorry for the business owners that were treated badly. Hope everyone gets justice.😔
So, you are saying vandalism is ok?! Violence is ok?! Wow....
It’s time to re-evaluate your “statistic” which is not true. And condoning the destruction of the very businesses that keep your publication afloat and countless other Americans employed is despicable.
2/2: A police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer. To read actual facts -- see the washingtonpost crime database or better yet, read this
(1/2) Actually, many observers are disturbed by the false narrative being peddled. In 2018 - African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders; 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.
MLK never meant 'we shall overcome' to mean this. Violence and chaos will reign if police forces are disbanded. More stringent screening of police officer candidates would seem to be a good way to help this situation.
Where are you getting this statistic from?
