Wildfires force California exodus.

Yeah. I think he thinks that if you're a criminal of any kind I guess then you deserve to get beat by cops no less. The police are not the judge and jury and most people know that it's a felony to strike a policeman (here in the states).

You're missing a big point here.

No one deserves a beating off the cops for a few minor offenses, but did all those people who got killed/beat deserve what they got also? Or those people who spent maybe 20 years building their small business, just to feed their family; did they deserve their businesses burnt to the ground?

It's not excusing the cops, or racism, but people need to step back and accept that there's wrong on both sides.

[c.j.jaxxon]

Sam be for real here! Anybody and everybody knew that there was wrong on both sides. One thing happened, then another, then another. Like I said before, the frustration was building and that riot at that time was bound to happen because people just got tired of the bulls#*t. It's really a wonder nobody had the nerve to shoot back at the police then it would REALLY been a war.

Don't mention the Italian police.
