What happened to George Floyd, Christian Cooper and Ahmaud Arbery shouldn’t be characterized as sad anomalies, columnist L.Z. Granderson writes.
A common sentiment I hear is that rioting is not the answer. But the painful truth is that rioting is not supposed to be an answer to anything. It is explicitly an expression of anger and frustration, a fire whose sparks land indiscriminately.In Los Angeles, many residents remember what it’s like to try to answer the questions that images of a burning city raise.
Videos on social media are becoming the primary way we form our understanding of incidents like this, and their power as a medium is both a blessing and a curse. They offer us an inarguable account of what is happening, and bystander videos have raised attention to issues of racial injustice that would otherwise be ignored and downplayed. But the story of a protest is complex and long, and images of burning buildings are just a small part of it.
frankshyong so violence is the answer?destruction of private property is the answer?looting,robbing and burning businesses is the answer?so,what happened to acting civilly, acting intelligently,acting mature,acting lawfully?can violence bring someones life back?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️real talk...just asking
frankshyong Naw. These are thugs and common criminals taking advantage of what started as legitimate protest.
frankshyong We also need to understand that there are a lot of selfish opportunistic people of all colors that are just looking to take advantage.

frankshyong Since you’re always putting emphasis in racism against blacks, do you have the facts about what race commits the most crimes in this country? And what race is the last to trust on? Simple question
frankshyong 'To understand what’s happening, we need not try to deny ourselves the easy answers and understand these tragic incidents...'
frankshyong ❤️
frankshyong Keep trying LAT. Keep fanning the flames of racism. What is that so-called larger story. What exactly do you think needs to 'change'-- with precision. What? Stop gaslighting.
frankshyong Please, educate us. What exact policies need to change? What exact laws should be changed? I think some people JUST want the issue without the solutions. At the end of the 'larger story' there should be action that doesn't involved felony arson and assault. BLEXIT
frankshyong Also! Antifa a terrorist group? Alarming!
frankshyong Everything was peaceful in Oklahoma city until the police showed up.
frankshyong Keep gas lighting this terrorism.
frankshyong Seems we have a failure of leadership by all politicians (Dems and Reps) Country experienced same events in 2014 and 2015 and we had a “blue ribbon committee” of experts What happened? We need serious people to make change.
WHY SHOULD THERE BE JUSTICE FOR FLOYD, IF THERE IS NO JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE MANY DAYS OF RIOTING, LOOTING AND VIOLENCE AGAINST THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS NATIONWIDE?
