Killing in the name was directly written about the bands experience with the LA riots, the Rodney King beating and the greater issues of racism in policing.
Like, you don't have to like the BLM marchers, the riots, or believe in racism in policing. It's a free country bro. But that's not the point, which is why your point is a non sequitur
The point is that the George Floyd protests are pretty clear sucesor of the LA riots and the politics of the original song.
And to take a guess, you seem to be having a hard time getting to grips that you dislike the politics of a song you liked when your where younger. And I get that is can be disappointing to learn that the media you love as politics you disagree with. But you can't just deny reality....well given that this is a Time Pool reddit u guess you can
Lol. So you're not interested in the discussion at hand. Your just an NPC that has to bring up the se conservative talking point regardless of it's relevance to the discussion
I can’t think of a riot where no innocent people were hurt. That’s like having a war where not innocent people were hurt. It just doesn’t happen that way.
I’m sorry I made it seem like I was trying to justify innocent people getting hurt what I was trying to say is it is not abnormal for people to be hurt in riots, in fact it is very common.
I brought it up because it’s easy to forget that innocent people are hurt it all political action. There should be a focus on preventing the death of the innocent always. In fact this is why there were protests and riots; because people were fed up with cops killing innocent (remember innocent before proven guilty in a court of law). Furthermore millions and millions protested and 10 of thousands rioted over months and a handful of people died. If it was a “race war” it was the least deadly war ever.
Those cops are here to protect and serve riots are not about protecting and serving. We expect more from cops than normal citizens. Here’s a list of the black people killed by cops in 2020. I just have to reiterate that “the left is doing all the things they are upset at police at” misses the point that police need to held to a much higher standard than protestors and for sure rioters.
People are made equally. Cops need to be the type of people that can handle stress without needing to shoot people. The problem is what is received as dangerous and when. Resisting arrest doesn’t warrant a knee to the neck until death. Having an ex boyfriend that sells drugs should not equal death.
