The death in Minneapolis is not really reason for riots, right ??? Real reason is frustrations from lockdowns...see below?

the riots in Minnesota and elsewhere are as a result of national frustration due to two month lockdown. The unfortunate death of the black gentleman was only the Flashpoint. Almost any excuse to "bust loose" would have served.

    COVID19 hasn't a thing to do with it.  Blacks are sick and tired of being victimized by the police.  We see it on videos over and over again.  And I can't say that I blame them.  While rioting isn't the answer, I understand their frustration and anger.  They feel powerless to do anything about it.  They are venting their anger; it's just a shame that they aren't doing it in a way which will bring them more sympathy.  Frankly I've come to believe that if a black person finds justice in America it's a fluke.

    You'll have to explain how my city burned in 1992 over a police beating in total absence of a global pandemic.
