Fuck, I should have explained how I calculated the data, my apologies for making that vague.
I counted superstores like Target, Walmart, etc. as Goods and grocery stores, restaurants, and pubs as food, pharmacies as Medicine. My source was the article that was posted here that showed a list of what businesses that were burned, looted, and damaged. The main limitation of that is that it didn't talk about how many people showed for the looting of X store as it could better show off what was the first priority of the looters.

Here's what I find fishy, pharmacies have little to offer outside of just medicine. If you ever been to one, the chances are that they have really little to offer. Sure they may have more than just medicine, but it's all stuff you can find someplace else. Gift cards? Most of the time they can be found in superstores and groceries. Candy? Exactly the same thing. Hygiene? From my experience, groceries. It's really suggesting something.

Pharmacies have drugs man. Hoodrats love drugs like lean, the ingredients of which are controlled substances distributed from pharmacies. Pharmacies also typically have booze and cigs

Went to bed a little after midnight EST. Did I miss anything particularly noteworthy? Not that the usual pepper spray marches and dorks getting pushed onto their backs isn't entertaining. Was there anything nuts?

I have liquor for tonight, so I'll stick around longer.

ALSO, why isn't Twitter deleting or putting warnings on all of these protesters tweeting about glorifying violence? I... I feel my soul crying out in pain. I can't breathe, guys!! They need to protect me like they protect me from the elected leader of my country. Oh mercy!!

Trump needs to stop monitoring the situation and actually do something.

The federal government should stay out of state and local matters unless asked.

I know in Rainbow Siex Siege they have a bitchy black bobby riot cop, but could the British police do a better job if this happened in say Liverpool?

The only time the police here in britbong land even approach competent is during riots/protests/civil disturbance

Have you ever read or seen the book, "White Girl Bleed a Lot" by Colin Flaherty? That title is from what a black girl said after beating the shit out of white girl in Milwaukee at a BP gas station at North and Humboldt. There's nothing nefarious regarding their choice of targets; they take whole trays of junk food and whatever they can get their hands on. It's just the 'hood way, if it ain't bolted down, it's getting taken. Think locusts: no real rhyme or reason, just instinct.

So you're suggesting everyone just got caught up in the moment and just took anything that they could?

One of the out-of-town protesters:

Bay City man detained by police in Detroit says peaceful Friday protest quickly grew violent

“I’ve always felt motivated, but didn’t really know how to take action beside donating to charities and likewise causes,” said Bacigalupo, who is white. “After watching the 9-minute video of George Floyd the other day, it upset me, for some reason more than any other video I’ve seen.”

Bacigalupo brought the water and food to distribute them to other marchers, he said.

“Some people just didn’t come as prepared as most,” he said. “I had seen so many people without backpacks. I was standing in the middle of a crowd with food and water in my hands asking if people needed anything. It seemed like the right thing to do.”

He was approached by a few protesters seeking water; others, he approached on his own.

On joining the march, Bacigalupo said he was struck with an “almost euphoric” sensation, to be joining so many others in like-minded solidarity and camaraderie. Chanting “No justice, no peace” and “Black lives matter,” protesters called for action and justice between police and people of color. They held signs echoing their chants, including “tired of dying," and memorialized the names of black citizens across the nation who have died in police custody.

As the march neared the Detroit Police Department headquarters at 1301 Third St., a tense feeling developed.

“I had witnessed people keying a police vehicle and spray-painting a police vehicle before the police moved (the crowd) out of the area,” he said. “People were lighting fireworks off. All the while we were walking, I saw police cruisers going down other streets. On the way to the Canadian tunnel I had witnessed a couple people throwing rocks at police cruisers that were driving by, throwing street signs into the streets to try and block them off.”

Bacigalupo stressed he did not commit any acts of vandalism, nor had he ever intended to.

“Tensions were pretty high toward the end of us leaving the police station and marching back toward the streets,” he said. “From there, I would say it steadily ramped up and then plateaued once we got to the Canadian tunnel.”

Police in riot gear started surrounding protesters near the Renaissance Center. The Detroit Free Press has reported that in that area around 9:45 p.m., some people throwing rocks and bottles toward the officers. Police responded by charging toward the protesters, with punches thrown and gas canisters fired.

“Some of the protesters were getting extremely angry and, honestly, getting too close for comfort,” Bacigalupo said. “The calls for dispersal came over the police megaphones. People started dispersing a little bit, but apparently that wasn’t enough time for the cops because they started rapping their batons on their shields.”

Some police began walking toward the protesters and were pushed out of the way.

“The riot police started charging at people that were still in the streets,” Bacigalupo said. “At that point, there was just so much chaos going on, by the time I could turn around 180 they were already right on me. People were pushed down. I was trying to help people up.”

Bacigalupo’s friend whom he had traveled with to Detroit was knocked to the ground. As he tried helping her up, he was “basically shoved down and tripped up to where I couldn’t get out of there fast enough,” he said.

He lay chest-down on the street, his right hand pinned under him, he said.

“It happened so fast, but from what I remember, I was thrown off to the right, my right arm caught under my chest. They had grabbed my left arm and wrenched it behind me. Someone was on both of my legs and my shoulder. Then I started taking kicks to the back while they were yelling at me to stop resisting while I was trying to get my right hand out from under me so they could cuff me.”

His face was dragged on the pavement and his glasses broken, he said.

“After about a minute — which felt like the longest minute — I was handcuffed and told to get up,” Bacigalupo said.

Officers escorted him to a parked bus that was a short walk away. Also on board were three women, four white males, and two black males, he said. Officers on board took the people’s identification information, then took them on foot to a building.

There, police issued Bacigalupo a paper citation stating he had been detained on a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace.

“The officers on the bus were all professional and as nice as they could be,” he added.

In all, he was in custody for about 90 minutes to two hours, he said. Police returned his belongings to him and told him to walk in the opposite direction of where the protest was still going on.

“At that point, it was just hunting for the car,” he said. He found his friend, who was uninjured. They weren’t able to immediately drive away due to heavy foot traffic and congestion, so they walked to a hotel about two miles away and stayed there for the night.

Asked what advice he’d give to anyone looking to attend similar protests, he said, “Get as much info as you can on who is hosting the march." By around 7 p.m., he said, those who had organized the march had left the area around the police department.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig during a 10:22 p.m. Friday Facebook Live video posted on the department’s page encouraged protesters to remain peaceful and for those who don’t live within the city to avoid it, citing ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19. He estimated about 1,500 people participated in the protest.

One command officer had been struck by a rock and another officer on a bike was struck by a motor vehicle, Craig said. A 19-year-old protester was also fatally shot around 11:30 p.m. when a gray Dodge Durango SUV drove toward a group of protesters and someone from within it opened fire on them. The SUV fled the scene.

Within a few hours of Craig’s statements, about 40 people had been arrested, three-fourths of them not Detroit residents, according to The Detroit News.

Bacigalupo reiterated he was not there to cause harm or create destruction.

“I was not there to destroy property,” he said. “I was not there to cause a disturbance. I was there to be another voice in the crowd and be there for people in need.”

He said he planned to attend another protest in downtown Bay City scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, in Wenonah Park.
