If they are in the middle of the street.

news agencies tend to report things, you don't have to be constantly listening to police scanners and watching livestreams like a hawk to understand what's happening
Really wish I could find the best streams and such people are listening to. I've got the bassem masri one.
[QUOTE=GunFox;46567173]*sigh* systemic racism exists and needs to be addressed in the US.
The problem is that this wasn't a good case for it. It was probably a justified shoot.
This could set us back a good ways.[/QUOTE]
The main problem is that the initial eyewitness testimonies made it seem like Wilson shot Brown for pretty much no real reason, and that was the only inkling of evidence at the time. It really sounded like a bona fide hate crime. That's where the protests came from. Then real investigative evidence began to contradict the witnesses' claims and it delegitimized the entire movement, making it seem like a huge overreaction to an apparently flawless system.
the reality of this situation seems to be lost on a lot of people posting in this thread, people are going to be hurt and killed

is this a joke or are you being a jackass right now
These looters aren't very bright, so far they have attacked several restaurants and a dollar store. I'm sure they are attacking other places too, but the restaurants and dollar stores likely don't have much in the way of value. I guess Walmart and other major stores are too well protected.

I would say black people are just as racist, if not more so. How often have you heard a black person tell another black person who wanted to be intelligent, do well in school, that they were acting white by doing those things. They're pressured into this in their own communities, and then that in turn does no favors to prevent racism

'protesters' have smashed in a cop car, they are now looting and shots have been fired.

Oh theres the fuck da police chanting, was wondering when that would happen.

I thought GTA was supposed to be satire, but apparently some of America is really like GTA.

That's horseshit and you know it. Beyond stuff like commercials, each station is going to put it's own spin on what's going on. The livestreamers are going to do that too, but they're streaming live, so I can actually see small snippets of what's going on through an unbiased electronic eye.

This filmer is one of the rioters, he is in the heat of it
'Dey gonna arrest us for being mad?!
Congrats, looters, you have now managed to completely upend the entire point of the original protests and are now making it 10x more difficult for blacks and whites to be considered equals. Now the media will see only the negatives that you have put out.
Congratulations.
teargas has just been deployed by the police

Let em. They paid for them the first time, they will pay for them again. Taxes will go up.
Weird how this works.
Come on National Guard, throw these fuckers back and let's call it a night.
Police scanner reports looters.

For something to be satire, it has to have some basis to satirize accordingly. GTA pokes fun at things that do happen, and flanderizes the hell out of them, but there usually is just a little bit of origin behind the fictional things it does.

Being bombarded with "join now!!!"
Tear gas is being thrown as they smash the police car's window while Obama says not to smash car windows. Good work guys.
