"40,000,000 Americans unemployed"
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/28/busin...virus.html

Coronavirus is still rising
https://news.google.com/covid19/map?hl=e...m%2F09c7w0

The combination of these protests, riots, lootings, the civil unrest, George Floyd killing, Trump unpopularity, the 13 year old girl rape case, documents, tweets like these, state of emergency, the coronavirus, the unemployed, the second wave that is dued for winter, the incoming great recession, increasing tensions and conflict, is going to damage this country way beyond repair, it will never be the same.

Those rises in Cov-19 can solely be attributed to Brazil, the country who has officially the worst rise in daily case rate. That said, I would still say the virus poses a threat. And a rebound could happen, we still don't understand this virus.

What significance does suppressed rifles have? The most common use (as far as I know) for suppressors is to remove the need for ear protection. The guns are still loud as hell (Unless they are like, .22). 

So why are we highlighting suppressors exactly? I am confused.

This is only making it worst. 

These riots are 1 step forward, 3 steps backwards. And adding conspiracy theories into the mix is not helping.

Edit: Also people in r/WashingtonDC confirmed there is no blackout, its all b.s rumours. So can we stop spreading bullshit that does nothing but exacerbate the problem?

De-EsCaLaTiOn YeS

I live by one rule on the Internet. Never trust videos that are cut conveniently. That said I know some clips are actually be investigated. That horse trampling that person has been in the news.

Ah yes here is 10 second clip of police using force with no context plz get angry blue man bad

If you would see a 10-second clip of Russian/Chinese officers doing the exact same you all would be "oMg RuSsiA dIcTaToRsHiP sTaTe BrUtaLiTy". But if US-cops do it, you come with any argument like this one above. There is more than enough context available to see that it is not a "10 sec-clip taken w/o context xd".

Let’s be clear. 

If requiring context to why the officers used is an excuse and not needed before crucifying cops then we truly are in trouble.

1. Many of these videos, if you watch the context, you will literally see the reason the force was used. Surrounding a car and throwing rocks at it? Grabbing the officers taser? Either way. 

2. I know from having use of force incidents investigated before, having people who are not law enforcement trained telling police officers how they should do their job is the most hilarious thing ever. You were not there, you are sitting comfortably on your couch right now, likely watching this all unfold from your living room TV. These officers are there. They have to make split second decisions while you spend 10x as much talking about what they could’ve done better and why it was wrong.

Shit's pretty crazy right now. Near me they had a 7:30pm curfew announced over the emergency alert system (makes everyone's phones play an alert tone at the same time). National guard has been deployed too.

Apparently a Whitehouse guard post was lit on fire too

IDK what you are referring to here but you are correct. Suppressors reduce the volume to a level that does not cause permanent hearing damage for some calibers, but not for all. Besides .22, even with a suppressor, it is loud as fuck. Just not permanently damaging.

There is an issue where people are either willfully ignorant or just have no idea what a suppressor is. People call them silencers and lead others to believe that they make guns absolutely silent, which is obviously bullshit. In my home state, they are outright banned except for LEOs and active military, but they are legal in other states.

Supposedly President Trump was rushed to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center for a little under and hour during the protests. Yikes.

Yeah people have been locked in too long and are exploding their tensions into the riots. There are many groups involved, but it's hard to distinguish between them now. In some areas, there are peaceful protests where people want their voices heard. In other areas, people believe that violence and looting sends a more impactful message and is morally justified. The last group are the ones who either hop on the bandwagon or take the looting as an opportunity to get rich and travel to high-end shopping malls to raid them. The ones who are raiding Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, etc. are taking advantage of the situation.

There has been some violence in New Jersey, but not a lot. The most violence/looting happened in Trenton, which despite being the state capital is one of the worst cities in the state. The only "protests" in my area have been white people thinking they are doing something by posting shit on their instagram stories.

Someone posted a comment that was later deleted. They highlighted that officers were carrying rifles that were suppressed. I asked what the significance was.
