Yes, I'm white. Though I will not be participating in any protest (or looting) over the Floyd issue, I can understand why white people would join both.Thank you whiteboy for educating me about what black people are going through. I'm assuming you're white, but I admittedly I could be wrong. But most of the protestors I see (including many vandals) appear to be white people.
I'm glad you agree that it's not relevant in this instance, so lets move on.Are you serious? People under the influence of drugs can behave in unpredictable ways. Police who have experienced this may (rightly or wrongly) overreact when they see that someone is under the influence of narcotics. In this case, they clearly overreacted.
Presumably the police force have a lot of training in dealing with people who are on drugs and/or suffering from mental illness.Those who are mentally ill mistreat themselves, and others, IMO. There's really nothing you can do to help them. Best to help yourself and stay away from them if you can. They deserve sympathy, but that doesn't mean you should subject yourself to their psychotic episodes.
