National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

You may have missed this stupid ad that they posted yesterday that literally is inciting riots.



So, yeah I find it funny in a very dark comedic sort of way. But Nike has jumped on many of these events and perpetuated the divide to sell shoes and show they are "woke".

I didn't read that ad as inciting violence and telling people to burn down businesses and fight with police. Maybe I'm missing something?

ETA: Crazy how we can all interpret things entirely differently whether it be a mediocre shoe company or a human cheeto.
 
We now have squad cars burning and more business being looted.

My question:
Was I wrong for hoping a city known for mostly peaceful protests (yes, Vietnam era doesn't hold up) would avoid this? Or was I just...Hopeful.

That was the Justice Center/police station last night after the fire was out.

Those are the steps they are 3 deep on on a regular day. They are also where we towed a car from (plate covered with newspaper) when they tried to ram the doors. We later towed 2 stolen vehicles used to ram stores downtown. So glad it's my weekend...

City Hall and the Historic courthouse are on fire now. What a jackass of a mayor.

I have no love for Nike (for reasons already mentioned in this thread), but to say that video is inciting riots is a bit hyperbole. I know people interpret things differently, shown perfectly by all the different reactions we had to one of Trump's tweets, but I don't even see how that could be construed as encouraging violence, whereas with the Trump tweet I could at least see why some people interpreted it different ways.

I haven’t given an Opinion on this because I felt sympathetic to their cause and was conflicted on the Police and Feds using extreme force but after all we have seen especially this video. Fuck those guys I hope the Cops restore full order by any means necessary

Fucking hate this shit, doubly so because I think everyone on this board probably understood it was only a matter of time til this happened.

There will be more deaths; of officers, bystanders, protesters, and rioters before this is finished.
It's a fucking shame. The only upside to videos of this is the potential to get the fuckers that did this.
 
I laugh because literally what purpose does her saying that serve? That's like telling the friends at your house party that its a false alarm the cops were going somewhere else. Rage on.
