There will be no violence or rioting. This does not fit the narrative.

Still it provides an opportunity as well as a chance for Black Thugs Matter to show they are equal opportunity criminals.

I'd have to see a video before I'd form an opinion. The past disciplinary events (if any) for the cops would also help...as would a look at the criminal record (if any) of the dead guy.

My Son in law was put on alert this weekend here in MA. The State Police are worried the natives will get restless. He is pissed because he had plans with his kids.

These fools are going to hang when the video comes out.

CNN site said the deceased man had his mother’s name tattooed on his arm. And he liked sunsets and Starbucks.

Question: How many alleged crime victims are featured with backgrounds in articles?

People have been pushed in front of subway trains, beaten at their ATMs, grabbed while jogging and pulled into a van by a sadistic rapist or pounced on by teens while walking back from a neighborhood grocery store.

No background was provided or memories from loved ones.

One of those cops was sued for beating an inmate unconscious while he was a corrections officer.

Black cops. Black victim. Black police chief. Benjamin Crump. Memphis, TN.

Not this honky’s problem.

Why would the deceased man’s record matter in the slightest to him being beaten to death by five cops?

They glamorize the ‘BAD’. Have for decades. If it bleeds it leads. The sunset thing was nice.

Start the sick out calls immediately....!

No calls for service can be processed at like time, due to lack of staffing.

Boston saw some pretty good riots in the summer of ‘20 if I remember correctly.

Let me guess, at roll call on that fateful day, those five officers and two firefighters drew the long straw that assigned them with taking down an innocent person, who was just minding his own business . . .
