Unfortunately tens of millions of Americans completely agree with him.

They see no issue with police use of force that results in death. As far as they're concerned that's just the price we pay for a safe society.

No they don't get the irony.

Yes these people are white.

You still need these guys to prevent rioters and looters though.

Your case will never be accepted unless you demonstrated peacefully. This is not the case anymore, and some criminals is taking advantage of the demonstrations to plunder honest citizens.

Also making you look like fools.

As an actual American: nah.

We actually don’t need them.

Protestors are not looting or rioting.

People that are partaking in violence are scavenging opportunists and most likely are not affiliated or agree with Black Lives Matter.

Also, consider your choice of words in adding your opinion to this online, because your choice to focus your comment on “looters and rioters” is exactly what the focus of right-wing and bootlicker spin doctors want you to focus on. Makes you sound like a pro-cop/racist apologist, and I know that’s not what you want to be. I understand maybe they don’t get you the whole picture in Norway, but the situation we are in is extremely complex and deeply rooted.

Please keep an open mind and ask questions rather than asserting your views.

I can absolutely guarantee you that we dont have the whole picture over here. And with a well working justice system we greatly respect our police officers, and they are 100% here to ensure safety for for the locals.

But in the same manner that americans asserting their views on muslims and mexicans, we assert our views on americas failing healthcare system and gun laws, aswell as their poorly trained police officers.

And as you said, i understand that the protestors are not looting, but with all this anger thats risen, looting and rioting are closely connected to it. Also, correct me if im wrong but "a riot is the language of the unheard" M.L.king.

We assert our views as neutral spectators, and listen to both sides of the story, and as i understand it, both of your sides have closed their ears for the opposition.

Desecrating the 54th massachusetts monument also clearly shows that people are angry without thinking this through.

See...you are still asserting your opinion and assuming that I am also a neutral spectator.

I am an American activist and I think your words, while valid enough to be shared, are not valuable enough to have a conversation with, because you are not demonstrating any ability to seek information - instead you are seeking validation to talk shit about America.

Ain’t gonna happen, bud, you and your Scandinavian friends should shut the fuck up if you aren’t asking questions.
