I'm not too confident about that.

Guest Piece by America’s History Teacher, Larry Schweikart About six months ago I suddenly realized that we had not heard from the fascist so-called “antifa” in a long time. I actually thought perhaps we had broken them, that their ineffectiveness previously had caused the movement to dissipate.
Boy was I wrong. Something quite different had been occurring. The fascist “antifa” had been mobilizing and sitting in their little commie-type sleeper cells awaiting a call for activation. No one, including George Soros—who either personally or through channels sent the “go” order—knew exactly what that instigating event would be. The point is, the fascist “antifa” was ready. They were trained to be in the streets within 24 hours, in multiple cities, en masse. There was a deadly beauty to the organizational skill involved in the “call up” of these quasi-military forces. And no doubt, more than a few of the snowflakes were sufficiently intimidated by the China Virus and obediently took to their masks as they sheltered in place.
But after a week, it is clear that there are two basic groups involved in these riots. The first are blacks who took the opportunity of George Floyd’s death to protest, loot, and burn. No one on the right—not one single person so far that I’ve seen—has called Floyd’s death anything less than a murder. No one has suggested anything be done with the killer cop than perpetual jail. (Proving premeditation would be nearly impossible here and hence there will not be a death penalty on the table, no matter what some of the whackos call for. In other words, the right is united that this was a case of police brutality.
In the case of Minneapolis, however, it appears that this policeman in particular has been given repeated passes on his over-the-top violence. And in 2017, Mohamed Noor, a Somalil cop in Minneapolis, shot and killed Justine Damond. Naturally, instead of endorsing the jail sentence for a murderer, the civil rights crowd complained Noor was treated differently from other officers who killed civilians. Noor shot the unarmed Damond as she approached the car. Minneapolis, in other words, has had a track record of excessive police force. Various photos show as many as three police on top of George Floyd with Derek Chauvin kneeling on the handcuffed Floyd’s neck as he lay face down. Whether Chauvin actually choked off Floyd’s air supply or merely contributed to his heart giving out will be a matter of debate by medical specialists.
What’s equally troubling is that one other person was filming the whole event; at least two other officers were helping Chauvin; and another officer was standing nearby. None intervened to simply place the man in the back of the police car. Such an incident should provoke a massive reaction, including a complete overhaul of the Minneapolis Police Department. What it should not have provoked were mobs burning and looting stores and taking over a MPD precinct station. In all cases, both the MPD and the mayor—and the snowflake governor who essentially encouraged the looters—the police should have immediately moved in to stop illegal activity.
But here comes the kicker: when they started arresting people, the police found out that some 40% of them were out-of-towners. Who could that possibly be? Fascist so-called antifa mobs. Video surfaced today of a white antifa goon instructing “protestors” where to go and what targets to hit.
We won’t even get into the reality that many of these (mostly) black-owned businesses that were looted or burned were still under the snowflake governor’s lockdown policies and were dying on the vine.
Make no mistake: this was a Soros-backed, fascist so-called “antifa”-led series of national mob riots with no connection whatsoever to George Floyd. Most of the mob rioters probably thought Floyd’s first name was “Pink.” This was a well-planned, orchestrated evil designed in the pit of George Soros’s hell to destabilize not just the USA, but also England and Canada (where “protest” of more Pink Floyd fans joined the rioting. Like some snakes, this operation was beautiful in its design and deadly in its venom.
Today President Donald Trump announced he would officially designate the fascist so-called “antifa” group a terrorist organization. Among other things, that means that not only the Department of Justice will now (we hope) prosecute it, but the Treasury and IRS can now become involved in tracking the terrorists’ finances that almost certainly lead to George Soros. This is a big deal. But . . .
How big depends entirely on the vigor with which Attorney General William Barr actually follows through. More important, it will require a significant buy-in from the leftist-leaning bureaucracies in the FBI, Treasury, and IRS. Whether an actual prosecution of the fascists called antifa is possible remains to be seen. Ironically, however, Trump’s designation of antifa as a terrorist organization means that so far Barack Obama has been largely responsible for the creation of two terrorist groups, ISIS and antifa. Now, if we can only get Black Lives Matter to be so designated . . . .

Larry is taking the innocent blame off of soros. He is responsible
I don't understand that sentence. What does it mean?
>> The point is, the fascist “antifa” was ready. They were trained to be in the streets within 24 hours, in multiple cities, en masse.
Flash Mob communication was always about such results. Be able to quickly mobilize people include innocent patsies who can take collateral damage. Same as in Chicago 68.
Hopefully, “Attorney General William Barr [will] actually follow through.” For sure. God punished the Hebrews when they tried to build the Tower of Babel in order to shake their fists at God. The punishment was division, confusion and disrespect, the three adjectives belonging to Democrats and members in the Culture of Death.
Ping.
Larry, you are better than this.
George resisted being put in the police car, rather strongly.
Reportedly, George was 6'6". He was very muscular.
Four officers attempted to subdue George and put him in the police car. They couldn't do it.
That is why three officers are on top of him.
Shortly after they gave up putting him in the car, he collapsed, and they checked his pulse.
They could not find one, so they called an ambulance.
Then George regained conciousness.
In the video, one officer, responding to the suggestion that George be put in the police car, said "We just tried to put him in the car for ten minutes."
Some outlets cut off the video before that exchange takes place.
Sometime during the struggle to put George in the police car, while standing, George said "I can't breathe".
Be a bit more critical in your thinking (you usually are) and step away from the electronic lynch mob.
Video can be misleading. You know that, probably better than most.
Neck restraints are sanctioned by the Minneapolis P.D. They can be seen on its web page.
... the right is united that this was a case of police brutality.
There are plenty here on FR that take the position that the death of George Floyd is a perfectly natural consequence of his poor choices and no culpability whatsoever attaches to the four now-former police officers attempting to arrest him.
Tower of Babel was not “Hebrews”.
I just saw a video of George Floyd in the police car and officers struggling with him. Why did they get him back out and pin him on the ground?
I'm not too confident about that.
I attended Ohio State during the 1970 campus riots. I remember well that the so called student rioters were not necessarily students. Students for a Democrat Society, Antifa. Different times, same purpose.
“Why did they get him back out and pin him on the ground?”
That’s a good question that will get answered at the trial. Until then, people can make up whatever they like, and they will.
I once read a theory that Hebrew is the original language of mankind because Eber (or maybe it would have been Peleg) did not join in building the Tower of Babel.
I don't think present-day linguists buy into that theory.
This was a Soros-backed, fascist so-called “antifa”-led series of national mob riots with no connection whatsoever to George Floyd.
He did look like a huge guy - capable of putting up quite a fight.
But where is the video of him resisting being put in the car for 10 minutes?
If there is no video, how do you know that is what happened?
They could not secure (get him in a seat belt) inside the police car. Very difficult to do with anyone who is fighting you, let alone a 6’7” extremely muscular man who is acting irrationally. Remember Freddy Grey? An unsecured suspect lead to criminal charges.
The [police realized he had medical, and probably drug issues, and called for an ambulance. They actually could not find a pulse for a little bit, then he became conscious, again. Then they restrained him for the 8 minutes and 43 seconds it took for the ambulance to arrive.
For the last 2 minutes and 43 seconds, he went unconscious, It is probably then that he died.
He told the officers he could not breathe while he was standing up, before they restrained him prone.
An officer mentions they attempted to get him in the car for ten minutes, in the first video that went viral.
Now another video shows the police car with a struggle going on inside.
A still photo show three police officers restraining him on the ground next to the police car. It appears to be just before the video of him on the ground starts.
I spoke to several relatives who are Police Officers.
My cousin George told me that once you have the cuffs on someone, their safety and life are in your hands. What about, I asked, a suspect who is cuffed and in the backseat who start kicking, biting stuff, etc.?
He said that you take them out and make them SIT on the ground. Not lay. Sit. If they do not comply you can use several ways to keep them from rising up (pull on the arms, push head down, etc.) but he said the last thing you would do is make them lay facedown and push their neck or head into the ground. He said that’s not done, training is explicit not to do so. You can put your knee or weight on their back, but never, ever the head or neck.
Observing this protest and personally experiencing unjustified arbitrary restrictions on their own liberty by arrogant government officials, a great many people in the most oppressed cities enthusiastically join in this protest.
Under cover of this legitimate protest, and taking full advantage (and even encouraging) the intensity of its force, Antifa, a left-wing group, is leading the violence at anti-police brutality protests.
"The violence and vandalism is being led by antifa and other radical left-wing groups who are terrorizing the innocent, destroying jobs, hurting businesses and burning down buildings," Trump said during remarks at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday.
"The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization," Trump said in a tweet.
You noted: “What’s equally troubling is that one other person was filming the whole event; at least two other officers were helping Chauvin; and another officer was standing nearby. None intervened to simply place the man in the back of the police car.”
That raises a serious question: Was the person filming the video actually an Antifa agent, with the specific purpose of creating this riot? And were the policemen possibly complicit in this as well?
