Nobody will remember any protest, just looting, burning and rioting, which destroys their message. And yes, that cop murdered Floyd.

[[This is all about FREE SH**.]]

and about venting their hatred of whites through violent means- What they are doing is committing hate crimes- but hate crime laws only apply to white folks apparently-

Look my boss (he’s a bit of a bleeding heart ) showed up trying to talk about Ali saw this video and made him cry and all the outrage he felt and I said “look bud you’re just getting played by the media “

and then I brought up the Rodney King riots of 1993

and I said do you know how many people died in the Rodney King riots ?

and he had no answer for me

I said do we know the names of any of those black kids that were murdered in one day in Chicago on Monday. any of their names ? no answer

tso well we have here is another media “‘hate the cops”
“ oh it’s racism “ narrative that they’ll run with and try to outrage people

but you know what’s going to happen - people are going to get hurt . shot people are gonna die

many many more than this George guy

and what good is that going to do ?

The Arbery kid can watch his story go up in flames nobody’s going to care about that anymore they got the new outrage one that’s more juicy because cops are involved in the video is quite damning

My question is instead of all those onlookers just watching this cop including his fellow cops why didn’t somebody push him off of the guy- ?

This one on for what 57 minutes why didn’t anybody had the temerity to just push this guy off

Just a quick geographical clarification from someone who lives in the Twin Cities...

The riots are not happening in parts of downtown Minneapolis. They are happening in a specific neighborhood of south Minneapolis - about two miles south and southeast of downtown Minneapolis.

There also was some property damage in the Hennepin-Lake area of Minneapolis. That area is westerly on the other side of Minneapolis from the riots and mayhem. The targets were (no surprise) a liquor store, a jewelry store and a Verizon store. They also attempted to break into an Apple Store but were fended off by two armed security officers.

The area in question is heavily minority, black, Somali and Hispanic. There have been efforts to gentrify it by building new housing - some of which was torched by the rioters last night.

The entire city is not in flames and over-run by rioters.

Let Minnecraponus burn. Not one dime of insurance money for claims. Not one dime of Federal funds to rebuild. Leave it as a garbage dump.

Leftists in MN will raise taxes to build it all up again, just so in the future, its there to be burnt to the ground.

This is nothing compared to the Rodney King riots (and he wasn’t killed), so things have gotten better.

They're not looters They are protesters! Those things they took out of the stores will help sooth their grief . .

In downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota — Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district, to be specific — rioters descended upon the police station and even nearby businesses

Say no more.

Yeah, some black star was on Facebutt this morning saying, “Brilliant, you just burned your own neighborhood, dumbasses!”

“Let Minnecraponus burn.”

Agreed. I lived there for almost 30 years.

My biggest regret is that the rioting and looting didn’t happen in areas like Kenwood, Linden Hills, East Isles, etc.

That’s where the guilt-ridden white liberal NIMBY’s live.

The good people in poor Black neighborhoods -- a beleaguered majority -- know what a catastrophe that the riots are for them and their people. Minneapolis will now relearn the lessons of the 1960s as race riots spurred the decline of many Black neighborhoods.

Paradoxically, in 1968, the political effects included the election of Richard Nixon as the country craved a return to law and order. If Trump hits the right note of advocating for law and order AND justice for the wronged, he may similarly win the moment and help assure his reelection. Judging by Trump's initial comments, he seems to realize this.

FTA, a vital point:

Something is undoubtedly very wrong with Minneapolis law enforcement. This is not the first time we’ve seen a police officer act callously, with total disregard for training, common sense, or human life. Offending officers need not just be fired but tried in a court of law, and remaining officers must go through intense, additional training. Without proactive change, this will continue to happen.

The other matter that's referred to is the 2017 murder of a white woman by a Somali Minneapolis cop when the woman had called the cops to report a possible rape. That makes two inexcusable murders by Minneapolis cops in the last four years, while most major cities go without any for many years. It tells me the Minneapolis PD has a real cultural problem that cuts across the the races, one of the victims being black and the other white. Thus, there's ample reason for the DOJ Civil Rights Division to enter the case and fully investigate the Minneapolis PD, while also prosecuting the involved officers.

Has any of the cop’s lawyers come out and make a statement?
