You think they weren't still looking around those shoulders for a reason to get at them kids and those dusty nikkas.
I'm not suggesting that these men were protecting the cops, they were basically serving as a buffer between kids/adults and cops.

would I have been cool watching kids get slaughtered, no, but white people don't look for black approval before slaughtering anything so how I feel about it is completely irrelevant.

All Im saying is what they did might've saved some lives. We are pissed off in this city. The last thing we need right now is to watch anymore of our young men get killed by police

nikka, by peacefully protesting and supporting killer cops that's bound to stop them from doing that.

Neither peacefully protesting or rioting do anything. We need to strategize and put a plan in place that will hurt their pockets. That's the only way change can be made. We cant afford to get in a race war we would have a 0% chance of winning that

So if those guys didn't get in the way then those cops coulda looked for any reason to open fire on them.
them standing in front of them in the first place gives them a reason to fire. You don't think if they wanted to they couldn't flip a bunch of black men blocking their their view and in their space as threats to them doing their job?

They certainly could've opened fire on them. But say those men weren't there and violence broke out. Whose gonna come out on top?

We're not trying to get in a race war. What we are doing is keeping them gates locked on that baseball stadium. We stopping that money from rolling in.

I agree with you on that. That's the only way to make any kind of change. But we need to make sure as many of us stay alive to make sure that's a possibility. People keep saying in here to take it to the cops but that only works for a certain amount of time until they get the orders to eliminate us. We're lucky the cops were in defensive mode that day. Say they decided to open fire on those high school kids?

Is it possible to support the display of frustration without supporting the destruction of peoples livelihood?
(Don't care about the destruction of police stuff)

Then those kids would have been dead and the cops wouldn't have gone to jail, basically business as usual, which is why we're in this mess in the first place. White high school kids will never have to worry about leaving school only to encounter police forces in full riot gear ready to go to war with them.
