If anyone is so stupid as to think that these riots were sparked by some cop committing a crime is not smart enough to hold his own milk money
I think a lot of people will agree with you that the riots are a sign of deeper issues. The unfortunate killing of the guy is just a trigger.
If I were on the force I would tell them to F off and quit. Have some dignity you idiots.
This makes you sound like an Armchair Export
his murder was a crime and justice must be done, but it's sobering to learn more about the man who is being lionised by millions.

The other things you mention have all been changed through the democratic process. That is the only way change can and should happen.
I take it you agree that policing will be much efficient if it is combined with better laws.
"changed through the democratic process" What you call the democratic process was a lot of protest like the suffragette, it took them almost decades for women to get the right to vote in the UK. They had to fight for it.
Often times, people have had to fight for their rights. Civil Rights movement, they had to fight for it. Apartheid it South Africa, they had to fight for it.
Interracial Marriage in the US, they had to fight and they went all the way to the Supreme Court. Once the law was found to be unconstitutional, policing became much easier. Leave and let live
Effective policing requires rethinking the laws of the land

So yes, institutional racism existed until the late 60s and as a result, welfare policies were designed with a racist background.
if these policies where designed with a "racist background", how else should this be understood? I am just quoting what the OP stated.
No. While laws existed that targeted race and denied rights based on race, then there was institutional racism. Literally, it was in the institutions.
If you have racist laws, it is part of your system and part of your institution. There is no point in trying to sugar coat it.
I don't have to point to it, you already did
i hear this from the leftist idiots all the time.
if someone breaks into your home 6 bullets are enough.
well if its a one of i would argue that i still my need more round for even just one person.

Is it that bad where you live or are you just generally paranoiac?
Most police on the beat will likely have a handgun like the Glock. Do you mean that your life is in more danger than your average cop on the street?

The reality is that the majority of people want tougher policing rather than lax policing or the "no policing" which is now being discussed as though it's remotely realistic.
More people want efficient policing and not necessarily tougher policing. You can not deal with every major societal problem through policing. Law makers can do a lot to ease some of these problems. If you criminalize a lot of things in society, you will also need to be able to enforce those.
During the Corvid19 lockdown in the UK, lawmakers made a mess and when the police tried to enforce, they were met a lot of backlash from the population. The lawmakers were at fault for making a law that wasn't clear and difficult to enforce and without adequate resources.
Gay sex used to be illegal and policing it must have been a nightmare. Since the 20th century, criminal laws against adultery have become controversial, with most Western countries decriminalising adultery. What about marijuana? What about women being topless?
You have a systemic problem that tougher policing will not solve.

So yes, institutional racism existed until the late 60s and as a result, welfare policies were designed with a racist background. However the welfare never went away, the Dems simply rebranded them as 'good' and 'helping' and a generation of black people forgot the reason they were designed the way they are and is now wholly dependent on it. Breaking a dependence on free stuff is hard, even though FDR explicitly said that his policies were not intended to last, we have them, almost a hundred years later, in their original form and any politician that says he wants to get rid of Social Security and Welfare is committing political suicide.
In your statement you said until the 60s and you continued by saying that the "the Dems simply rebranded them as 'good' and 'helping' and a generation of black people"
You just simply confirmed that "Institutional racism" still exist and it is perpetuated by the Dems.
What a lot of people seem to overlook when talking about welfare in America is that removing it will not only impact the black community, but also white people. Apparently there are more white people on Food stamps in America.

That doesn't mean everyone who votes Republican will suddenly have their kids become rich, but it's statistically a better chance that within 1 or 2 generations you are lifted out of poverty.
Good point. That is also why claiming that voting for the Dems is doing a disservices to minority communities doesn't hold true. My take on the left vs right issue is this. They are 2 different faces of the same coin. Politicians are there to help themselves first and maybe the people after.
This has nothing to do with your race by the way, sure, any minority group will have it more difficult because they are a minority group and thus need to do more to conform, but likewise, minority groups that are lawful (eg. immigrants and racial groups alike) will almost certainly have their kids do better vs minority groups that are illegally residing here and kids with parents that are criminals.
Well, you can tell the above to the Jews during the Nazi Germany occupation. Being a minority and the difficulties associated with that is more complex than just being "minority groups that are lawful " . You can also go and tell that to the Native Americans and here is something about being "minority groups that are lawful"
From 1778 to 1871, the United States government entered into more than 500 treaties with the Native American tribes; all of these treaties have since been violated in some way or outright broken by the US government, while at least one treaty was violated or broken by Native American tribes.

I mean, how unbelievably fucking stupid beyond belief do people have to be to vote for the party behind the KKK for the past 50 years thinking it's going to make their life better even though it never does?
The same reason poor white people keep voting for anyone who tells them what they want to hear and every time they keep getting f**ked over. They hear what they want to hear and they still remain poor. It's not that difficult to understand. You also make it sound as if the black community will be better off under Republican party. Go tell that to all the poor white people who have voted Republican and are still poor.
"Having aligned themselves with the Republican Party since the days of Abraham Lincoln, what made African Americans switch to the Democrats during the Depression Era?

That is not what those figures say and it's not what I said. If 13% of the population commit over 50% of a crime, it means they are severely over-represented and something is seriously wrong. It means there is a higher probability that a member of that population is likely someone who may commit that crime
This is a valid point you made above. However, why didn't you acknowledge some of the statistics from @
do you think it’s a good idea?.
Diversity is not something that is good. It does not make a country stronger. In fact its the opposite. Look at Japan, China Russia and Poland. They work hard to keep their country homogenized. And its working for them.
You obviously do not understand the subject matter. Most European countries as we know them today are formed by multiple tribes coming together( war and carnage). Scots, Welsh, English, Cornish,etc The same goes for France and Germany.
You mentioned Japan, China and Russia and Poland.
Do you know why there is a China town in most major western cities? If their system was that great, why didn't everyone stay in China? A lot of wealthy Chinese are investing their money in the US and Canada, why?
Poland, do you know how many polish people work in France, UK and they Netherlands? If Poland was that wonderful, they should all have stayed home.
Japan : Japanese Brazilians are the largest ethnic Japanese community outside Japan (numbering about 1.5 million, compared to about 1.2 million in the United States). They should all have stayed in Japan if the country is that great.
Russia : You know that there are over 40 ethnic groups in Russia and the largest are the Russians. That is why there are always conflicts with other ethnic groups like the Chechens. Homogenized and it's working for them?
if you actually believe that "Diversity is not something that is good" then, all White People should leave America and go back to where ever their ancestors came from. You will only have Native Americans and Mexicans left.
Diversity has its issues but looking at the situation from a narrow point of view doesn't help your narrative.
