So yet again, on top of 1 in 4 being unemployed, a pandemic sweeping the nation largely unchecked and a retarded narcissist at the wheel, we have yet more police brutality resulting in another death on the police's hands and widescale rioting and martial law.

There's footage from Minnesota of police firing at people stood on their own porches. News crews have been intentionally fired upon and protestors intentionally run over by police SUVs.

2020 just keeps giving.

But it got me wondering, since the US is such a huge factor in the worldwide economy and actually plays peacekeeper for a lot of the more fragile parts of the world, what happens both there and elsewhere if it really does start to destabilise?

Interesting times we're living in.

The US is a vast country. 99% of people will be just getting on with their lives and not part of all the mess going on over there.

City wide curfews in Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Denver, Reno, Portland, Philadelphia, Columbus, Nashville, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City...plus no doubt more to come.

Clearly just a minor thing going on here.

And what percentage of the population of those cities (and also the country as a whole) are actually out rioting?

Probably fine. However if you are BAME. Not so much.

Yeah, like the 2nd amendment does jack squat. Where was the "good guy with a gun" shooting George Floyd's murderers? Oh, that's right! The murderers had guns, and anybody opening fire would have got shot.

If that had been in the UK, with unarmed police, a bystander would have been more likely to intervene, because, you know, they probably wouldn't die!

Seems like they’re finally getting to the destination they’ve been heading towards for a while unfortunately. It’s very divided over there and the dam is bursting.

Don't worry, Trump will save them.

No offence intended, but that's an interesting place to move to and I say this as a man from Bradford.....

Indeed, just a minority of trouble makers in each city.

Hardly a huge issue.

you could also say how fxxcked is france, been riots there for months, but our unbiased media doesnt report that. lets ignore the other countries that theres riots aswell, but lets be anti trump for a change. theres a lot more news out there but you need to look further than the main stream media.

The USA is just one giant lunatic asylum populated by all sides of the political/moral spectrum.

The sooner it burns and eliminates the maniac in the White House, the better the rest of the world will ultimately be.

Kruschev had the right idea but he never carried it out, shame really.
