Well, he said:

"Looting is a term that we typically use when people of color or urban dwellers are doing something," he said. "We tend not to use that term for other people when they do the exact same thing."
When is the last time we saw a bunch of White people in the US looting?
I can't think of one. Maybe my White Privilege is blinding me?
Hmmm, not the same thing, but... it was mostly White people I think, and there's that term "looting":

During and after his speech,[41] thousands of attendees walked to the Capitol and hundreds breached police perimeters[46][47] as Congress was beginning the electoral vote count. Many in the crowd broke into the building,[48][49] occupying, vandalizing, and looting it,[31][50] assaulting Capitol Police officers and reporters, and attempting to locate lawmakers to capture and harm.[51]
That guy is full of the shite.

What do you call public officials shirking their sworn duty to protect life and property because that’s what is going on nation wide.

“Organized robbery” kinda sounds just as bad.
was coming to post similarly. I think it sounds worse honestly. It alludes to premeditation and not just people taking advantage of a chaotic situation like looters.

if you are frozen for 100 years, you probably want to leave very specific resuscitate instructions. "After 100 years, if the liberals have...., do not resuscitate".

Actually I think he's right it was an organized robbery completely planned out from the beginning.

I was thinking the same thing...isn't that term more racist for Italians then looting for other races?

Uh huh... I'll file this one right next to "thugs" in my list of what is not a racist term.

So RICO could be in effect?

looting carries a racist sentiment, said Lorenzo Boyd,
No more than 'crime.' Do we need another term for crime? Maybe 'alternative career choice'?

So the thugs that looted Nordstroms are really... Minorities making unauthorized consumer attainment in an organized fashion?
Posted on 11/23/21 at 2:38 pm to cajunangelle
Stores losing millions of dollars. Looters feeling invincible. Law enforcement brain trust are deliberating on which word to call the looting.

It comes from the Hindi lu?, which is equivalent to the Sanskrit lu??hati, meaning “(he) steals.” Throughout history, looting has been a common byproduct of war: soldiers from invading armies loot, pillage, and plunder—meaning they use the opportunity to steal valuable stuff and take it home with them.

Organized unpurchased goods gathering.
Organized robbery implies they did something wrong, which may hurt some of the more sensitive crooks feelings.
