watch this:
if the cops know there is a loot out, but the cops are not on the scene, or on the scene in numbers to effectively stop any sort of looting in its tracks...then the cops don't care if the neighborhood is being looted.
what they care about is seeing minorities and 'liberals' pitted against black people and the cause.
so be there, and have your cameras out without bias. see who the real looters are.
also this:
who begins looting a commercial street before stores close down. before nightfall? that's beginning with quite a handicap.
finally:
people are arguing that looting is wrong and want it denounced in all neighborhoods.
killing black people is wrong. denounce that, end that and I promise you the looting will end. how many small businesses in this neighborhood got any sort of insurance during covid, compared to corporations. you want to argue about looting consider it out of the frame of standard definition.
PS
defunding police doesn't mean relying on vigilantes keeping the peace. but when crime is down but police budget goes up, up, up...don't you think your kids deserve some of that cash being put into their education? weren't you all up in arms that elmhurst wasn't getting the funding it needed?
