Just the latest excuse to go nuts, pillage, loot, and steal.
Going tribal! And folks wonder why they don’t get much respect
Lol@ protests
THESE AREN’T “PROTESTERS” -— THEY’RE ANARCHISTS!
These savages don’t know George Floyd from Felix the Cat, and couldn’t care less. They’re all violent, well-funded and highly organized anti-American anarchist groups like ANTIFA, BLM, CPUSA, etc. who are exploiting his death to destroy America. The only responsible solution is to put them all down like rabid skunks as soon as possible. Nothing less will suffice.
A corrupt, lawless Ruling Class vs. a corrupt, lawless population. America is as dead as a hammer.
You are very correct Floyd’s death is just an excuse for these criminals to riot and cause havoc.
“THEY’RE ANARCHISTS”
THEY’RE ANARCHISTS
Minneapolis has always been a cesspool of liberals - beginning after WWII. Those photos are mostly liberal whites raising hell to stand with the BLM/Antifa slugs.
The cops will never control the Twin Cities again now - they lost control. No water cannons? You know they have armored vehicles, all large city SWAT teams do - why not mount some water cannons on them and use them effectively?
CNN crew just got arrested by Minnesota State Police....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,,,saw it live...took the entire crew.....

Well said.
This line here: "...George Floyd, who later died at a hospital..." turns out not to be true. The EMT's from the moment they picked him up could not find a pulse, checking several times on the way to the hospital. So he was dead on the street, with a knee crushing his windpipe. Great way to go, eh?
I'm guessing only an MD can pronounce death in some (most?) jurisdictions, so if the EMT's are repeatedly unable to find a pulse, it's still not "official" until the first MD examines him.
At some point the Coroner's report will announce the Cause-of-Death. This is what the MPLS Police Union is holding out a slim hope for when they say over & over: "Don't jump to conclusions just yet" - ie that there's some totally unforeseen cause of death that will be unrelated to choking. Like maybe he was deathly allergic to peanuts and there was peanut butter oil on the spot on the street under his face .... or some other longshot like that. It probably won't happen, but they can cross their fingers and hope.
I dunno why the Guv hasn't sent in the Natl Guard yet ... how can you expect the local police to restore order when nobody in town trusts them now?
What's depressing is that I can understand how one rotten apple makes all the cops in a city look bad, and you have to take that into account when making blanket judgments; but to have one cop killing someone while 3 more cops just hang around doing nothing ... now that's depressing.
Could George Floyd have died from carbon-monoxide poisoning? It’s happened to handcuffed prisoners before...
What was racist about it, was he mumbling “die n———, die”? Does he have kkk tattoos? White supremacy was stated to the crowd? Or did they just happen to be of two different racial backgrounds..
See #12...
The Mayors of Minneapolis has been DEMOCRATS for over 40 years...Democrats created the problems in Minneapolis!
National Guard is there.
More than an hour after the police incident while in the hospital.
What is the cause of death?
If he died of an OD will that fact be in the coroner's report? Or will report refer to the fact that Floyd was using drugs as a sideline?
I don't know what happened, and the short video doesn't look good for the cop with his knee on Floyd, BUT, what ever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"?
The feral animals are on the loose, the mayor and the chief of police are doing nothing to quell the animal riots and so it will spread.
You won't see it happening in Texas or Florida, red states, right to carry, strong law and order gubbernors and the citizens will protect their own property.
The one thing that goes unreported regarding riots, is back when LA was burning {WATTS Riots} the Koreans that owned local stores, armed themselves, and posted on the roof tops of their buildings.
After a few rioters were shot from the roof tops, they went to other neighborhoods.
The media downplayed the fact that several rioters were shot to death, but no charges were ever brought against the Koreans.
Moral of the story?
violent, well-funded and highly organized anti-American anarchist groups like ANTIFA, BLM, CPUSA, etc...
Obama’s gift to the USA.
Agreed. No one said anything? Un friggin believable! The video is evidence George Floyd did not die of natural causes.
Looking for signs their actions were racially motivated. Any evidence on that?
OK so what is it?? did he die on the scene or did he die in the hospital later? We have a poster in this thread whi said he died right there on the scene.
I keep hearing that he died right there on the scene.
