Riots in MI for a criminal who killed himself?

[jake01]

Some guy with a criminal past on a motorcycle runs from the cops and kills himself after running into a wall and the residents of the town start rioting and burning buildings. ***???

Turns out that he is a black dude and all of the rioters are black and they're claiming racism. But, the Police Chief is black as are most of the officers! The Chief states, that the death is just an excuse for thugs to riot. Where's Jesse?

Sounds familiar....Rodney King.

I wish these city types would stop pretending that having a Black CLEO would do anything. They'd get branded as 'Uncle Toms' anyway, regardless of their accomplishments, past, merits, whatever.

Not knowing anything about this specific community, I really feel sorry for Black CLEOs across the country that make honest-to-God efforts to clean up and serve the community, only to get picked apart by so-called community activists, 'social-justice' advocates, etc. for being 'Uncle Toms', eating from the White Man's hand.

I haven't seen that in this case, but it happens out here, minorities being suspicious of LEOs of the same race.

People will come up with any excuse to riot, whether your home football team loses, or your home basketball team wins.

They had it in the local news paper that a "Biker" was killed.
I pictured it as a Biker gang thing. Turns out to be possibly a criminal on a stolen Rice Rocket.

Rioters are just a pack of mad dogs and need to be put down.

I don't care what ethnic background they are, neighborhood they live in, or reason they claim.

I believe that rioters should be shot on sight!!!! Those that don't get buried should be put away till they are using walkers and canes to get away round with.

I've watched the riots in various places, and various times, and heard the various reasons since I was a youngster, and never could understand the pack mentality these people have.
When I watch foreigh soccer games and see the "fans" riot, I wonder why the cops don't just turn the sub machine guns their carrying on and hose them.

I don't know, maybe I'm just too unsensitive to the poor misunderstood people that are just self control challenged.
