My guess is that Maxine Waters said what she said knowing that a guilty verdict could in fact put a lot of this to rest. Because of what she said, all that has to happen now is for a juror to say that they "knew we had to find him guilty or rioting would have broken out". On that basis, the convictions probably get tossed out and the uproar really begins. Which is what Waters and similarly minded people actually want.
The problem is that confrontation/violence are not going to work in a society where the oppressed are in fact a small minority. If they go down this road, it is NOT going to work out well for anyone. In the end, they will be crushed.
As far as this being the "end of America" it is nowhere near that point. There have been massive social upheavals before. It will take war/economic collapse to bring America to its knees. This will happen, and then you can add a race war to it to make it even worse. But it will take the expenditure of the wealth and strength of the country first to get to that point.
As an American, where are you going to flee to? Wherever you go, you will be a hated foreigner. Plus, for the US to go down the tubes, it will be as bad anywhere else, and probably much worse.

Police Reform
Read some good stories today about Chauvin being an outcast and seen as a bully by fellow officers. As I pointed out before, the police departments know who their bad apples are. In a non-union environment, Chauvin would have been shown the door years ago as he got complaints far in excess of his peers. But the unions protect the bad apples.
The only way to reform the police is to DE-UNIONIZE the police forces. Of course, this is a complete non-starter for a liberal administration, or for liberal city governments, who have the biggest problems.

Did anyone see the "celebrations" that took place in Minn after the guilty verdict? BLM attacking tractor traliers and cars driving down the streets? Obviously some people have jobs to do; others don't.
America, a banana repoublic that gets worse every day.
THE END.

Young black kid commits crime, police arrive, kid runs or resists cops, violent confrontation ensues, kid gets hurt or shot. Play it again Sam. This will go on and on and I suspect most Americans are just tired of hearing about it. Any discussion of why these kids/young adults are running wild and committing crimes? Nah, doesn't matter.Navigator wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:21 pmMy guess is that Maxine Waters said what she said knowing that a guilty verdict could in fact put a lot of this to rest.

Federal Bureau of Justice statistics data show that of nearly 600,000 violent interracial victimizations involving Blacks and Whites, Black suspects committed 537,204 interracial felonies (not including homicides), or 90%, and Whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10%. The Red Elephants blog points out that Black perpetrators are also overrepresented among all perpetrators of hate crimes — by 50% — according to the most recent Justice Department data from 2017. Whites are underrepresented by 24%.
