We need some riots here in the United States to be honest, just everyone is afraid to start one. Nobody wants to be that first person or leader, because the Police will have their sights set directly on you.

 

Why would you even say that? Have you even thought over what happens during a riot?

 

People are injured.

People are killed.

Vehicles are damage/destroyed

Businesses are ravaged.

Buildings are damaged.

 

Millions of dollars of damage. Is that what the USA really needs?

 

 

 

edit: Good on the Singapore officials on going 44 years without a riot.
