This is 110% ridiculous, and it doesn't even make any sense! Why would a public official (the DA of all ****ing people) want the city to riot??

i haven't followed this case closely enough to say for sure whether i think the cop is guilty or not tbh. on instinct i feel like he probably is. but people rioting and tearing up their own neighborhood are dumb as **** either way.

A conspiracy nut might say that they want people to riot so they can justify the further militarization of police.

Are you this naive?

They BEEN knew that verdict. T

They PURPOSELY revealed it at night because they knew those black people were going to riot and protest.

Why do you think they brought the National Guard out? lol

They knew what the verdict was going to be!

not such a crazy theory compared to most conspiracy theories tbh. though i think they need little justification to continue militarizing the police force. they basically know they can do what they want and people might bitch about it but nobody can really stop them.

No matter the instigation, each man and woman still has a personal choice to riot or not. In the end, all behavior comes down to personal choice.

What we are seeing is police brutality.

Abusing a obviously hurt community...just because they can.

Good grief. That's just as ridiculous as whatever soulflower is spewing.

^I agree. I don't believe that, but I've got lots of conspiracy-nut friends, so I'm familiar with the way they think.

I don't see how that's ridiculous. That is a pretty reasonable conclusion for a conspiracy theorist. I can give you plenty of other examples of other things way more far fetched.
