I'd be way more sympathetic to the protesters if instead of shouting stupid shit (stream i'm watching they were chanting 'suck my dick') they were demanding concrete changes, like had a list of achievable demands that could be measurably met (opposed to e.g. 'be sorrier').

A few commentors linked the naacp's list of demands, which I hadn't seen. As far as this represents the protests, this is concrete and absolutely qualifies for what I wanted in my original tweet.

Ah good to know. I forgot I probably am getting a selective sample.

police officers dragged a man into the street and killed him like a dog. like an animal. why does what you want matter at all? at all?

These aren’t protests but rather riots. As you said in your original tweet there were never any demands for change nor will there ever be. Just rioting and looting😞🙄

If you don’t think these protestors have concrete demands, it’s not because they haven’t stated them—it’s because you haven’t been listening. “Be sorrier”? How about “fire and prosecute every cop involved in the murder of George Floyd”? That’d be a nice place to start.
