He argues that the anger fueling the riots is justified given decades of police violence and inequality, contrasts his own experience getting away with reckless behavior as a white kid with how black people are treated by police, and reacts to news that the officer was charged.
- The 2008 bailout was the largest transfer of wealth in human history, but people are upset about someone stealing a panini press from Target.
- Tim argues the riots have justification when you look at what's actually happened over the past three months—ignoring the underlying causes means you're not paying attention.
- Luxury problems dominate TV and Netflix while people without food drink water the color of Nestle Quik and cops put kids in jail.
- The beer summit format—Obama having a beer with a cop, the cop doing a depression-era dance on Ellen—doesn't work anymore because people have had it.
- Tim doesn't feel bad for Target, AutoZone, or the police precinct that got burned down.
- The amount of people defending Target is laughable—people should burn Target down on the regular.
