People are not rioting jus cos someone was arrested, but because someone was arrested for a petty crime(which was not even proven that he committed) and killed for no reason. People can protest all they want. But they've no right to loot or vandalize public properties.

    Yee, 05 Jun 2020This is a tech side. I don't want to see any unrelated s..t here!Tim Cook is the CEO of probably the biggest tech company. Next time, don't click the article. That way, you'd not get to see what you don't want to see.

      Don't shy away, now. Tell me!

              Most of the comments seem to be highly sceptical of billionaires who run sweatshops and violate human rights talking about injustice.

              There's also some saying they support peaceful protest but they don't think the people looting and burning down their towns and cities even care about George. They are just opportunists who detract from the legitimate protests

                Can this be any more predictable?
                Usually people who virtue signal the most are hiding behind some sin they may or may not be guilty of.
                Maybe T*m C**k doesn't want ya'll to know about Apple having one of the worst slave factories with suicide nets over there in China where workers are subjected to inhuman conditions.

                He might as well donate to ANTIFA and say they are fighting Fascists.

                Besides MLK would be turning in his Grave after watching what qualifies as peaceful protest for the black community.

                      The whole is wrong. and most people are missing the point. So if a person commits a crime then gets arrested whatever race colour or creed. That gives everyone the green light to riot. But what I find the funniest is the biggest racist lives in the white house. I do feel sorry for African American race as they have it hard from day one. but this does not give a green light for violence. Yes I agree what they say, institutionalised racism is rife all the round the world. I love all races,

                        Kind of expected isn't it, in a good way. This would have been more news-worthy if Tim Cook spoke up *in support* of racism. If he would've done that, I wonder what it would've done to the Apple stocks. Hard to predict with the kakistocractic system in place now.

There's one such comment, yes, but one out of more than 20 is far from "most". What I can see though is that there is scepticism about the intent behind this statement.

                                      I can tell most people in the comment section aren't black and couldn't care less about whats happening in America. I agree that companies should back up their words with actions but some of you are just straight up disrespectful and rude to the movement as a whole. The rioters and looters aren't part of the BLM movement. They are just thugs who hijack peaceful protests and take advantage of the situation. Please do your research before you spread your ignorance online.
