There is always something to protest when glass can be broken and cell phones stolen.

Thanks.
There's always **** to loot and things to vandalize. The rioting is out of hand but the initial reasons for the protests are valid.
The events occurred in Minnesota and are indeed valid. If you want to protest, go to Minnesota and protest away. Breaking windows and stealing cell phones in NC is just thuggery.
The protests aren't just about one guy getting his neck crushed. They're about police brutality and racism in general, which I'm pretty sure isn't native to Minnesota. Looting and destruction are bad but they are expected parts of any riot, especially when the police are deliberately inflaming things by attacking random people and kneeling on more necks than just the original guy.
Police in my town do not lean on necks of anybody, except possibly red. Hard to picture when the city mayor, police chief and county sheriff are all black.
I don't think it helped that the man who should show a cool head and try to calm things down talked about shooting people. And now extremists are using everything that has happened as an excuse to cause wanton destruction. What bothers me most is that from there is evidence that a lot of the people involved in the riots couldn't care less about the actual issue, they just want to cause chaos.
It happens all the time, all over the country. Your town having black people in charge of their law enforcement doesn't make that any less true.
Here they favored stealing cell phones, but whatever. There is no legitimate reason to protest here.
So, black people in charge are closet racists against blacks? That's ridiculous.

When that's what I see here, yes, I can dismiss what I see as a few thugs breaking **** to steal things. If there are protests to be made, let them make some effort and travel to Minnesota.
There is also evidence that some of those people are the police.
You better have citations for that and not just, "Hey, I heard...."
You can do whatever you want, it's just a pretty ignorant, simplistic dismissal. It isn't just a Minnesota problem, it already happened in my small town this year, and it happens all the time across the country.
Is your mayor a black woman? Is your police chief a black? Is your county sheriff black?
It has everything to do with it when law enforcement and city government is run by blacks. Protests today were down to 2 dozen protesters who seem to have forgotten what they were protesting.
For what is worth, this is the source of my earlier statement:

I haven't heard about the police, but I would not be surprised. It happened in Italy before.
What we know about the extremists taking part in riots across the US
Law enforcement and federal officials say outside elements from both far-right and far-left groups are helping fuel the violent and damaging confrontations that have marred protests across the country in recent days, despite President Donald Trump's focus just on Antifa and the far left.

Italy is not the US, however possible. Right wing extremists in riots? Wouldn't their white skin give them away?
