I understand why so many people in Los Angeles are restless, and angry, and taking to the streets as they did in 1965 and 1992.Now, as then, the notion of equal opportunity is distant dream and not a reality, and the darker your skin, the bleaker the outlook.
At 3rd and Fairfax on Saturday afternoon, police vehicles were torched and riot squad officers fired nonlethal shots at advancing protesters.Just as we were beginning to open up after months of coronavirus lockdown, we were shutting down again with curfews. It’s a shame because it seemed clear that most of the protesters, who had every right and reason to demonstrate, wanted to make a statement rather than draw blood.
The inequality is everywhere. For decades, the skid row population has been mostly black. Countywide, due in part to decades of housing discrimination and institutional racism, African Americans account for about a third of the total homeless population despite representing just 11% of the total population.In Los Angeles Unified, the second-largest school district in the nation, 90% of the students are nonwhite, and 80% meet poverty standards that qualify them for free or reduced-price meals.
Life in America has been changing for the better for years in so many ways with opportunities regardless of race. Also, it’s been changing with leftist education that demeans morals and hard work, and with a media that supports this type of violence. You have blood on your hands
I am in this photo - upper right hand corner with a red bandanna face mask, on my bike. It was pure craziness watching this unfold.
I was downtown seeing this happen . Unreal but we have to do more smartly
Hopefully it will and that change will be to vote republican becuase this is what voting for democrats gets you.
i would give a week's pay to see, when a whole string of rioters go pouring in through the front of a store they've broken into, them pouring out the same way even faster because the store owner is pointing a gun at them. just once.
No.
Looting & rioting never brings change.
Definitely, we will be a third world country by the end of the year.
No, because neither party wants to offer any real change. Dems are the “Disneyland dad” who always promises, but never delivers. GOP is the weird uncle who gives you $100, tells you it’s bday/Christmas/Easter and tells you buy stock with it. They’re both BS.
Fifty two year ago, Robert F. Kennedy delivered an improvised speech after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Just listen. Don't comment. Think about what he says. icantbreathe
The hard truth...
I kinda think it has lost its focus
Newspaper jobs still disappearing
No. Nothing will change. A system cannot be fixed. It can only be scrapped and replaced, and that's what needs to happen now.
These criminals who break laws should be incarcerated. It is not protesting when property is intentionally destroyed. Lock them up. That would be a good change.
Nup.
Nope. Just speeding up gentrification. When the fires are out so are they!
the change is us.
'when the looting starts, the shooting starts' was bullshit , huh? well, the looting has started, and garcetti just sicced the national guard (and their guns) on his own city. way to prove president trump right, leftists. again.
DOUBTFUL
No, they are just looking to steal more shoes and TV's. This has nothing to do with injustice.
ONLY BRAIN-DEAD FOOLS THINK THOSE RIOTING OR LOOTING GIVE A DAMN ABOUT GEORGE FLOYD! They're NOT protestors but anarchists & antifa terrorists! Stop disrespecting the true protestors who are not engaging any violent activity! Shame on you! Way to dishonor George Floyd's memory!
Trump is destroying America!
Americans have some good days and some bad days. I hope that the United States picks itself up for the better.A more united country.A country that protects all its citizens under the law. A new social contract.Limiting the police & prosecute them for their xtra judicial crimes.
Let's hope they don't piss off wrong person
If u have policies to improve issues then yes.
Wishful thinking, but more than likely.... Rinse and Repeat
Haha no-WUH
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Some urban renewal.
I pray for us all if it does not
