    No, it's not. The term savage to describe minorities has very negative connotations in America.

    It's probably a cultural thing, but absolutely in America labeling them savages has racial overtones

    tongue in check, cmon. riots are mostly an understandable social reaction to injustice - but that's diff from justifying them in the moment ffs. They're still unhealthy and despite what @WPG reads, counterproductive. plenty of nonviolent protests enacted change, what a cynical and rly gross view of history.
    Still waiting for your Rick response!!!

    Does target sponsor the police there or something? Were the robbed stores linked somehow to the police?

    As much as I loath MAGA and the alt right, their own true gift to the world is the "Cuck" concept. A city is burning and self-destructing, there's true horrors in the world and the pearl clutchers are aghast at the ironic, silly use of 'savages' on an eminem message board LOL. "this is why we lose" ::uncut gems voice::

    This is the number one way to coerce the city into charging the officer with murder, an important step in acknowledging the injustice. Without the riots there would be no pressure on them to do so. Property can be replaced, and it will. I didn't see you up in arms when the police were using tear gas and shooting rubber bullets at these protesters? But they are the bad guys for an imo apt response?

    The police used tear gas on the protesters and Target refused to sell them Milk to combat it.

    i would say it’s truly “cucked” to whine on the internet about stores being broken into

    i know you can't debate me on the merits here bc ill tomahawk u lol. its ok!!!

    disagree, implies the riots are strategic and not a raw collective emotional response. its easy to nod approvingly from LA or Greater Boston looking of this. its a tragedy that should be contextualized and understood but shouldnt be applauded.

    you dont know which small businesses might not recover. again theoritcal, sheltered pov

    i was outraged but i dont express every feeling and emotion publicly. not gen z lol. im engaging this bc you guys could be convinced to justify any means. what if the rioters were mass raping women in greater suburbs. would that be ok?
    ive absolutely contributed more to social justice irl than u and perhaps even wpg!!!!

    Well. Your tone is that of a child so its hard to rly read. As a journalist you should express yourself more. And try not to be biased

    I have black friends and family across the country who could die any day because some prick with a badge decides they match a description and is having a bad day. The riots are both a raw response and strategic. People are rioting because they believe its their way to be heard.

    if you look at ferguson or baltimore the riots there had no lasting impact on small business, so again, I'm okay with it.

    I wouldn't justify r---. Burning down a target is a lot different than r---.

    Well, first of all this isn't a d-ck measuring contest. Second of all, you have me beat by a decade. Thirdly, you have no idea about anything I've done for social justice.
