None of this would have happened if one incompetent cop and his fellow officers had simply handcuffed the perpetrator and taken him into custody.

If the officer involved in the Minneapolis incident with Floyd (and his fellow officers on the scene) had simply followed procedure, subdued the suspect, handcuffed him and taken him into custody, the riots, the burning down of businesses, the tearing down of statues, the shootings of police officers and all the other mayhem that's occurred over the past month would not have happened.

I know I'm stating the obvious.

Wrong.

ALL of this, every bit of it, was teed up, organized, and planned and would have happened precisely as it has, with a different trigger. They were simply waiting for any kind of provocative event to magnify and exploit.

People who take down statues of Washington but leave up statues of Lenin are ****ed in the head.

Though if I had the means I think I would commission statues of many famous Commies from Marx and Engels, Lenin, Trotsky and so many others (even Che) ... life-size and in their prime, recognizable and all dangling from ropes by their necks.

Yes it would have.

This was just a random event they decided to use as their springboard.

Facts don’t matter anymore.

They could have chosen any incident and the result would have been the same.

Jarrett and Obama have been architecting this thing for months.

I get what you’re saying, but I agree with the others. The Soros militia were prepared to move, and any trigger would have been used, whatever it was and wherever it was.

When you know how antifa operates, and BLM, the Soros DNC militia... they never just show up, they are deployed.

Their purpose is to run out the clock between now and November, and to try to keep black voters from going over to Trump, and to dominate the news cycle, to keep Trump from getting out his message.

From day one of his administration, the Soros DNC has been deployed to paralyze Trump and tie him down. Hence the attempted coup with Russiagate, the phony impeachment, the virus, and now open street fighting.

That in mind, its amazing how much he managed to accomplish. Still, they smell blood, and they see November coming like a freight train. This is only going to get worse. We have to stick together.

"“There were going to be riots this summer, no matter what.” There would aways be an excuse. If you don’t believe there was a lot of planning going into this prior to the Floyd incident, you are not paying attention. Kerry says there will be riots if Trump wins in November. The bogus polls will show Biden with a substantial lead. The will say trump stole it."

I agree the commies have been planning this insurrection for a long time but that's not my point. My point is the fault of this particular incident lies solely with the police.

The police are handing the BLM commies their agenda on a silver platter.

What surprises me is how many on this site believe the actions of the police in this incident and the Rayshard shooting are justified. They are absolutely not and this is why the BLM commies will have a constant source of fuel for their agenda. It won't be more than a week or two before we have another suspect dead because he "resisted" or he "COULD HAVE" had a weapon or he didn't follow police commands. This issue is not going to go away because it's true the police are off the rails. The BLM commies are just using this issue to their advantage.

The left has had these riots planned and ready for an incident they could use as an excuse this summer. It’s part of the Democrats election campaign strategy.
If it hadn’t been Floyd, it would have been something else. The mobs were simply waiting for their orders.

With Trump support historically high among African Americans, ginned-up summer race riots was a simple prediction to make, and indeed most of us made it.

Its my understanding there is bodycam video. If it indeed exists then it is interesting it hasn’t leaked out. If it reinforced the common narrative it would be out. If it doesn’t you won’t see it until trial.

Another point there are images out there on the Internet of French, German and other police using a similar technique in subduing a uncooperative subject. Arrest is stressful if you have underlying conditions that stress could be enough.
The secret sauce is don’t do things to get arrested.

They find other cases all the time, so it doesn’t matter in the end. It just would have been a different place that was destroyed first.

They would have found some other excuse by now.

Like Rayshard Brooks.

" “The fault of this incident lies 100 percent with the police, period, end of story.” If you believe that you are a fool. "

I believe that because it true. You are the one being foolish. Tell us how this man's death was not directly caused by the inappropriate actions of the police?

This was preplanned well in advance. Floyd OD’ed and died, the officers will get off.

"They tried to take him into custody. He fought like hell. He died of a fentanyl overdose, cardiac arrest and a side dish of meth."

Agreed. Anyone saying otherwise has some kind of axe-to-grind.

You are kidding, right? You must have forgotten the sarc tag?

“...followed procedure, subdued the suspect, handcuffed him and taken him into custody...”

That’s EXACTLY what they did! Derrick Chauvin did NOT kill George Floyd, George Kirby, Floyd Taylor, or George Taylor or anyone else. The official autopsy says so.

The knee on the neck was APPROVED procedure and DIDN’T KILL HIM!!!!!

George Floyd, George Kirby, Floyd Taylor, or George Taylor KILLED THEMSELVES! Because of the career criminal, drug addict life they lived.

There was a plan already concocted waiting for an incident.
They would have found another because now was the time to put the plan into action.

And if Trump can somehow quell this operation and the Kung Flu nonsense, they no doubt have another plan waiting in the wings...

Antifa and BLM had plans ready and waiting for any excuse, but its spark had to occur in a Dem controlled city, so they could have cover for their actions.

The funny thing is that Americans are pretty much United in this opinion yet the progressive Powers decided to use this as their divisive defining moment.
***********
It’s all about the election, period.

Every four years “Racism” become the chant of the Left.
