You asked and either-or question, both making separate assumptions. Logic dictates that you subscribe to one of the two choices.

My first thought was " I bet every one of these thugs have priors." My second thought was "Should have waited until night". Third thought was "f*ucking idiots".

I had all of those thoughts but I also thought, "What? Only black people loot"?

We have to be more mindful of what we present and consider how some people are going to perceive what they see.

So be damned the facts. This shouldn't have been posted because there weren't any white people looting in the picture. That's what you are saying isn't it?

That's not what I am saying. What I am saying is that if you are going to post looters and they are all black, some people are going to assume that only black people loot and some people are going to assume that the police department is racist.

If you don't want people to get the wrong impression, find a better way to present the information you want to present.
