Conflicting reports of looting at Soho Rolex store

Oops...fake news again.

“The Rolex store is empty,” a police source said. “They stole like $2.4 million in Rolexes.”

But the store’s spokesman said “no watches of any kind were stolen, as there weren’t any on display in the store.

There were simply windows broken and some vitrines smashed.”

No replies to how many illegal police incidents that people are responding to verse number of illegal incidents against police. Does anyone have that answer?

The policemen who committed this crime were not old white men, they wern't even all white men either!!
So don't include me, and the majority of us old guys in your BS about 'old white men!'

So, nothing good came from the Boston Tea Party on Dec. 16, 1773?

This protesting has gotten very old and honestly boring. Everyone gets it.

The individuals involved have been arrested and will likely spend years in jail.

So just exactly what do you hope to accomplish.

Just think if no crime was reported we wouldn't be having this conversation.

That is ridiculous. Things have changed tremendously since the 60s. Every time an isolated incident like this happens there is a gross overreaction which is exactly what’s happening right now. Every week in this country there are hundreds of blacks, Hispanics, and whites killed in major cities across the country. Police are killed practically every week in this country for no more crime than wearing a uniform. There are no protests or riots for them? Why this, why now? I know the answer, but I don’t think you do!

It’s apparent you still don’t see the systemic racism in our society. That’s what the continuing protests are about. The murder was just the trigger. You can push people only so far.

Wake up! People are upset about systemic racism. The murder was merely the match that started the conflagration.

In 2019 there were 10 black men killed by the police. 5 were armed, one said he was armed and was going to kill people and one was supposedly accidental when the officer’s gun discharged when there was a struggle for it. The officers were charged in the other three. In 2016 there were 64 black men killed by police, so it seems that the police ARE doing better with race relations, not WORSE like the MSM wants you to believe.

The policemen involved have been charged so why stir things up more with a protest. Show gratification that they are finally punishing those who did the crime.

I will say that while 1 life is too tragic, look at these FACTS. and they are according to the Washington Post own research. “Systemic Racism” is so overused. This cop was and AHole before he became a cop and I bet the good cops that worked with him probably thought he was an AHole while he was a cop. It’s not a cop thing it’s a personal thing.

In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects. In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population. The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines “unarmed” broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

Read “Devil in the Grove” by Gilbert King. The story of the Groveland Fl. Boys.
The Tri county area is rife with racial injustice.
