“If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.. I could be speaking figuratively. I could be speaking literally. It’s a matter of interpretation.”Given his notoriety this statement has very real potential to instigate more national violence and vandalism. Whether investigation results remains to be seen. The statement is phrased to give plausible deniability when inevitable allegations of inciting riots arise. Critics will counter it's a dog whistle to those ready to commit mayhem. Reasonable people on all sides of the police brutality issue don't want more mass vandalism and arson. Is this a call for "Burn Baby burn" 2.0? Sounded like it to me.
