The first thing Police do when they arrive is put a gun in the guys face.

My sources (tmz comments) said Floyd was a thug who was high on Crack Cocaine. The cop detected this and was clearly fearing for his life. If Floyd didn't want to die he shouldn't have been a thug who was high on Crack Cocaine. CNN lies and sugar coats shit, I get all my info from TMZ comments now.
 
About that whole "I married an ethnic minority so I can't be a racist." reply I have read recently. I am going to leave this here as a damning refutation of that assertion -

In Minneapolis, hundreds of businesses damaged or destroyed. Low income housing units burned to the ground.


It is not clear to me how destroying your own community and the livelihoods/property of hundreds of your innocent neighbors is going to make anything better. All it will do is make people with money and initiative avoid your neighborhood when they are looking to open a business. How many of the gutted businesses will never be rebuilt? Would it make ANY economic sense for an entrepreneur to build in one of these areas in the future? Would it make any economic sense for an insurance company to insure them?

To me the most ironic photographs showed white thugs participating in the carnage (antifa or white nationalists?). Seriously dudes, you are burning and looting a black community to "protest" injustice against black people? That makes a whole lot of sense.

Facts:
1. The cops were fired within 24 hours of the story breaking.
2. The kneeling cop has been arrested and charged with murder
3. The kneeling cop's wife is divorcing him.
4. The three other cops are being investigated and it looks like they will be charged as well.

Where is the injustice? It certainly looks like justice is being served.

Three years ago in Minneapolis, an innocent white woman was gunned down by a black cop. There was a PEACEFUL march afterwards with no looting or property damage. The cop was charged and convicted. End of story. It is a true shame that this incident didn't end up the same way, it should have.

Do you really think this is only about 1 incident?

You are part of the problem. You're either just really REALLY ignorant or wearing blinders.

And I'm not condoning any rioting/looting at all.

Don't be obtuse, we don't have an epidemic of MILFs being killed by law enforcement in this country. And the fact that the cop was a African immigrant, and was charged and convicted without riots, is one of the biggest "no shit Sherlock" moments of derpery, posted here in a long time. And that's saying a lot.

The bold part? That's why everyone is going ham. Nothing was done until after the outrage from people all over, not just the U.S. expressed shock and outrage over the video. You need a kickstarter to help you afford to buy a clue.

It's funny because you literally had the exact same thing happen just a few days ago with the Arbury murder. Covered up and ignored until the video was released, IIRC, 2 months after the fact.
 
This is written by a cop


Its a shame we need advice like that, but here we are.
 
In Dallas i watched a man pull a sword (yes a sword) and take wild swings at protestors and stab one, then he was swarmed and i thought curbstomped to death (both are in stable condition)
(not linking it's seriously nsfl)

In Seattle - i saw some idiots take a child with them to the protests and she was maced
link

In SLC i saw Old Man Legolas yell all lives matter and then shoot and missed a protestor with his bow and then get pummeled, later on he got his ass on tv acting like the victim

in NYC multiple shots of NYPD brutality

in Atlanta i saw cops stopping a car on it's way home from protests, breaking windows and repeatedly tazering 2 terrified and helpless teenagers

those where the ones that i could remember, anyone else?

So where is Donald trump in all this?
Hiding under a desk somewhere trying to figure out how to blame the black people for what the Police did??
If this shit stain of a president was any sort of leader the very least he could do is since he has shown no remorse for what is happening to our country...the least he could do is to make a statement condemning the four Police officvers which he has not done! Why?
Because he is still trying to figure out how to spin this in order to get the black vote!! Such a pathetic individual!!

I linked a reddit post a bit further up that has gathered up a bunch of different stories. If someone has the patience to make a post about all of them, they're free to do so.

This is what happens when you have leadership that divides rather than unites. There has been absolutely zero effort of those in charge to unite the people of this country since the day Trump took office.

The most glaring example of this is the COVID-19 response. The President has managed to make wearing a mask a political issue.
 
This is diificult because I don't want to say what happened is the right thing but I really need more context to this incident.
Beat me to it! Plus what is also scary is several reporters covering the riots have been shot purposely with rubber bullets nand one woman reporter was shot byu Police with a gun!
Truth be told I believe the Police see reporters as the enemy!
Just look what happened to that CNN team on Live TV the other night!
Then we have that team from FOX that literally were attacked by protestors once it was learned they worked for FOX!!
I am pretty sure the longer this lasts the more our 1st amendment rights will be eroded!

The old man is the most revealing. Lately, there has been a lot of saying the quiet parts out loud. Shouting all lives matter as you prepare to potentially kill someone with a bow and arrow, WTF? This was a slogan from MAGA, along with blue lives matter. What they really mean, is matter more than black lives. It was a Black man he took the shot at BTW. Guy ducked under and took him down. Racist filth trying to make the victims the bad guys, as usual. Yet we still have imbeciles pointing fingers at the looters. How did we get here you vacuous morons? That's right, because every other form of peaceful protest got them no where. It resulted in counter slogans like blue lives matter, and all lives matter. And nothing real done to address systemic abuse and persecution.

Plus the arrow dude car was torched and he eventually was arrested!
