MINNEAPOLIS — A police precinct was burned in Minneapolis as protests over the death of George Floyd raged for a third straight day.
The blaze at the police department's 3rd Precinct, the base of four officers who were fired after Floyd's death in their custody Monday, was one among many fast-moving developments.
I didn’t see any white people burning down the city when Justine Diamond was shot by a cop of color !
3 cops watched....
“I didn’t see any white people burning down the city when Justine Diamond was shot by a cop of color !”
When black people riot cities burn. When white people riot continents burn.

If black people keep rioting the white people may start.
“3 cops watched....”
In my state someone possessing a valid CCL would have been legally justified in shooting the cop as he was posing a valid threat of death or grievous bodily harm.

Why does it take four cops 8 minutes to cuff a guy?
If black people keep rioting the white people may start.
Some good can come out of the tragedies (dead man who was already handcuffed and riots which destroy enterprises and actually endanger people’s lives since not everyone gets out of an arsonist’s fire in time to stay alive).
This may energize the good people to fight to re-elect Trump and a GOP House and Senate this year. And to bring the leftists to justice in a fair system. Two yuge projects.
African American riots often reduce Dem turnout—not always. Some of the potential Dem voters may stop and think of the consequences, “Boy,whatta heroic guy that Joe Biden is to condescend to pick a black female as VP” can turn to “This is what coddling the riot types brings. More destruction.”
1968 Law and Order theme assigned by the campaign to Spiro Agnew brought a lot of regions to vote for Nixon. Great idea.
Again I ask, if Floyd was White instead of Black, would there be Riots in the Streets?
There is no “evidence” that the Officer did what he did because of Floyd’s skin color, yet it is presumed the Officer was some kind of a Racist and purposely intended to kill him.
The term “facts not in Evidence” is sorely missing.
I am not defending what happened, just asking what I think are obvious questions, questions that should and could be asked if we didn’t have an Agenda driven Press.
That might be true but shooting a cop in the presence of three other armed LEO would also be suicide by cop.
‘3 cops watched....’
new video shows two of them on the guys leg; assuming that video is genuine...
Where are/were the “Good” COPS as these destructive fiends put their collective “knees” on the neck of Minneapolis?
Guess there are NONE and that’s why the Bad cops allowed the city to burn and all evidence at the corrupt precinct to go up in Flames!!!
Sorry but you could see that many rioters were White last night!
Finally the correct question is being asked I heard Christie asked the same thing on Sean Hannity’s show last night
If I was president I would’ve gone right up to the cop and push them right off of the guys neck
Or at the very least I would’ve got up and yelled right in his face to get the hell off the guys neck
The fact that there was other officers that didn’t bother to do it who had a lot more credibility and pushing the guy off the guys Neck says it all

And the fact it went on for minutes. We’re not talking about a split second life or death decision. All 3 other cops had ample time to analyse the situation and stop it. None did, obviously.
All burning down businesses accomplishes is putting your innocent neighbors out of work. The police commissioner must enforce a zero tolerance policy for arson/looting, using deadly force if needed.
*Why does it take four cops 8 minutes to cuff a guy?*
Because they weren’t cuffing him; they were murdering him. He was already cuffed.
I didn’t say it would be smart. I said it would be legally justified.

No, you didn't say that. Of course, it would not be smart and the LEOs who shot the shooter dead would not face any retribution at all. It would be ruled as a justifiable shooting in a police investigation and as reasonable self-defense in a court.
