There are people in this country more concerned about a Walmart being looted than about an innocent man being killed. Many of them tout the Bible, but “Thou shall not loot” is not in there. “Thou shalt not kill” sure is.

Actually, “Thou shalt not steal” is of course in there. But my point about priorities remains the same.

I think looting is acting on covetousness, which is covered in the 10 commandments.

You can be concerned about both things. Should the police have let themselves be stabbed first? Then would it have been okay to shoot? Where are your priorities? Police do not have a right to protect themselves when confronted with a weapon? What's wrong with you?

1) it's "Thou shalt not MURDER" ... the Hebrew word is "murder," not "kill" 2) stealing is indeed condemned in the Bible.

But you realize how Trumplicans are trying to magnify this to benefit their campaign, and some demagogue fuel the fire to make BLM, Protesters look bad, Right?

11 people were shot during the looting. None of them by cops. That's actually more people shot than the number of people shot by cops in Philadelphia in an entire year.

I don't think innocent people run at police officers with a weapon, but that could just be me.

Did you see this innocent man running at the frantically with a knife or No?

HE WAS NOT INNOCENT. STOP GASLIGHTING.

Are you talking about the guy with a knife in his hand running at two cops with their guns drawn and pointed at him?
