    For everyone here who wants to misrepresent MLK's words by omitting the rest of his quote.
    "A riot is the language of the unheard, but let me say as I have always said, and will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self defeating"
    - MLK
    EDIT: After reading many of these comments and going through an endless stream of extremist and hateful posts on twitter(from both political leanings), I have lost absolutely all faith in humanity. This is not me trying to be funny, I now legitimately believe I was wrong for thinking the human race had any redeemable qualities whatsoever. We have failed as a species.

      Those who could have prevented this, and held their ranks accountable have done little to nothing for so long. This was a breaking point.
      "Until we commit ourselves to ensuring that the underclass is given justice and opportunity, we will continue to perpetuate the anger and violence that tears at the soul of this nation."

      "Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding it seek to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys the community and make brotherhood impossible. It leaves society monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itsself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers." -- Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

      @Roger Williams America has a long outstanding debt that it refuses to pay its people. Whether you want to refer to that debt as civil rights, equality, opportunity, justice or human decency it is up to you. Trump was not with George Floyd in his dying moments. George Floyd called out for "mama". That shows how little confidence has been given to American citizens, when you think in your dying moments that the only person you can call to for help is the one who gave birth to you. This society has shown its disregard for its people for too long. This is the result of not being accountable.

Belive me for a tibetan refugee who has been caught, beaten and warned they will make me disappear if we didn't stop.. It's tough but we need to power on..

      root She said, “We’re asking for peace, NOT patience.”
      She whole heartedly supports black rights. However, looting and blowing up cars plays right into the hands of those who don’t support civil rights, for they will try to perpetuate the lies about blacks and minorities being criminals.
      We require firm goals, organization and solidarity. Without them we become sporadic isolated spurts of anger that won’t do anything except potentially harm others and those who would have supported us.

      Miss Jay Actually she isn’t. “We’re asking for peace, not patience.”
      Essentially, in order to achieve change, we must be organized and have our sights set on a unified goal. Otherwise we have sporadic spurts of anger, which cannot only harm those who would have supported us but can also be exploited by those who do not wish for us to succeed.

    “Riots are the language of the unheard.” I keep seeing this quote people are posting by MLK. Which makes a valid point. He understood why riots occur. BUT he’s not saying it’s okay, he’s simply coming from a place of understanding. MLK always stood for peace. Many people do not understand his message, it goes right over their heads. All this violence and chaos will continue to happen time and time again, over and over, until humanity learns it’s lesson, peace and love is the way. Violence is NOT the answer. All it does is continue the cycle of hurt and abuse. Break the cycle.
    “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” MLK. He spoke the truth! People simply do not understand... you cannot fight fire with fire and expect the fire to go out. It will just continue to burn.

      Without the rioting MLK’s “peaceful message” wouldn’t work, the government knew they better listen to the diplomats and “fix” the problems before it impacted them personally. MLK was eventually killed so where’s the peace in that? You always expect black people ( the victim) to be the bigger person and forgive the violence they’re experiencing but not all people will surrender to violence without fighting for their lives. White people showed they can’t give any freedom and respect to black people unless they’re forced by laws or violence. It took a war to end slavery, en entire movement that led to death to end segregation and yet still the government never changed. It’s still oppressing black people and asking them to understand. Why don’t you stop killing and discriminating against black people. We can either live peacefully together as brothers and sisters or die as enemies.

    As a Black man l have been terribly mistreated and cheated. It happened in Pocatello, ldaho where l worked hard and had the respect of many Whites and the few Blacks that were there. I helped Whites who needed help. I was told l made significant improvements in the workforce. But 2 White men, for whom l did favors wretchedly turned on me over a minor disagreement and l lost my career. They felt it necessary to go to unwarranted extremes, and they publicly humiliated me. No Whites came to my aid.
    Something similar happened to me in Howard County, Maryland. Both times I went through the proper channels to remonstrate, but l still lost. My point is, non-violent protests have been demonstrated, but it seems America does not hear. It's the squeaking wheel that gets the oil. Joshua peacefully marched around Jericho for 7 days; after that he and his army aggressively went in and took the city. Peaceful tactics don't always work on this planet.

      Johnny Murillo nah your ignorant, most police killings are justified, if somebody looks like their going to try to pull a gun on you and kill you your going to shoot them. Police have seconds to react in these situations they aren’t gonna wait 5 minutes to see if he’s really reaching for a gun in a possibly life or death situation

      j p twice as many white people are killed by police because theirs is twice as many of us my guy. You have to do the numbers per capita. And in doing so, being a black citizen in American, you’re 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police officer than a white citizen.

    Hearing the cops zoom by for the majority of the night on Saturday in Atlanta was simply sad. I've resided here for 5 years kept thinking, damn what would MLK think of this? On Sunday I drove around. Parts of GSU were vandalized. A university? Why?? If you're 50 and under, we've been removed from some of the mess that occurred in the 1950's. Things were worse back then. Look at the footage. Yet people were able to dig deep, unite and fight knowing it would be better for their kids and grand kids. No was naive to think things would be perfect, expected and demanded change after hundreds of years of being treated inhumane. There's still work to do and will be for quite awhile! But it can ONLY be done by coming together, holding people accountable, voting knuckleheads out of office, hitting companies in their pockets etc. Looting and violence aint it. It's giving haters and criminals even more of a reason to do what they do. It's nothing wrong at all with being angry, frustrated and tired. What you do in response to those feelings is where your power lies...There's a difference between protesting, rioting and looting.

      Neither would he have condemned it.

You can’t claim to understand the gravity of and be opposed to injustice while condemning its exasperated victims. Speaking psychologically, it’s hardly plausible that those two attitudes can coexist.

How the fuck is it 3 random officers in Baton Rogue and 5 random officers in Dallas are dead, but the cops who killed all those people you mentioned are still alive.
