      A guy committed suicide, a rumour spread that it was the cops, now people are rioting. The Minneapolis PD posted a video of the suicide on their twitter to try and calm people. I watched it, it's indeed a suicide.

        This is irrelevant. There's a larger context here that's obvious to anyone who isn't a chud arguing in bad faith

          Well, not really? If anything, it's more relevant than normal as it shows that there's so little trust in these communities with the police and so much anger, that they either don't believe the video, or they just don't care anymore as the discontent is so high.

          Working from the information I saw, that seems to be what happened. Is it not? Obviously there's the larger context of protests and police shootings, but I don't see how saying the facts of the situation makes me a chud. Someone asked what's going on, what else would you say besides what I said?
