When the executions of all these domestic terrorists begin, Al Sharpton should be Hanged First.

They might want to test Floyd for Covid-19, which impairs breathing.

Now THAT would be ironic...

Couldn’t agree more. And the predecessor rule, we live in a civil society - don’t break laws. And if you do - expect law enforcement to want to talk to you.

That's because of all of the smoke from the fires you are setting.

Sharpton, you’re a racist communist idiot.

I first thought the killing was random or just police brutality, but knowing that the cop and the victim knew each other and had both been part time security officers for the same company tells me there was a bad blood personal grudge present. This wasn’t a random killing by a cop. This was a murder of opportunity.

Black America can’t breathe due to all the smoke from the riot fires they set, along with the tear gas response.

Not hearing anything from Jesse Jackson- perhaps due to Parkinson’s disease.

Because stabbing cops, beating up innocent people, burning out small business owners, looting Big-Box chain stores and cleaning out high end luxury shoppes on Rodeo Drive, the Miracle Mile and Soho will make things right with Floyd.....

Blacks have a complex,so they say, that they think everyone not black views them with a certain lens. The stereotypes they claim to fight against, such as being viewed as thugs, uneducated, poor grammar, loud and unruly in public places...these things. This rioting will only reinforce and exacerbate all those traits. White people in particular will be even more wary when in the presence of blacks, they will be less likely to hire them for any job. Blacks are destroying any chance of progress for their people for a few more generations at least.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to Lead Prosecution in George Floyd Case

FLASHBACK:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3195872/posts

Sharpton a key advisor to Obama on Ferguson (reported back directly to Valerie Jarrett)

NY Post ^ | August 22, 2014

The veteran activist, who is also leading Saturday’s march on Staten Island against alleged police brutality in New York, even suggested Jarrett turn up the heat on Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, and appoint a special prosecutor to replace St. Louis prosecutor Bob McCulloch in the Brown case.

EXCERPTS

In Trayvon’s case, (Parks & Crump) alerted the news media more quickly. They phoned the Rev. Al Sharpton almost instantly, and organized marches with local civil rights activists. They also started pressing for federal involvement and alleging a cover-up from the get-go.

(snip)

“In court, you have the jury,” Crump says. “Our job is to get the case to a jury. We need to fight first in the court of public opinion. The jury is the American people.

Someone Must Be Punished for Killing Trayvon Martin, Says Mom Sybrina Fulton
by Allison Samuels Mar 22, 2012 2:04 AM EDT

EXCERPT

The now controversial killing of Trayvon garnered virtually no mainstream media attention in the days immediately after he was fatally shot, but that all changed when the teenager’s parents decided to hire civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and his law firm to get more answers on exactly how and why their son died.

“They called me the same day they were notified that their son was dead,’’ Crump told The Daily Beast. “When I heard their unarmed teenage son was shot to death, I just knew there’d be an arrest shortly. There wasn’t an arrest 48 hours later, and then I knew we’d have to take this outside of Sanford if we wanted justice.’’

Trayvon’s parents were told by the Sanford police that Zimmerman wasn’t arrested in their son’s death because the facts of the case did not dispute his claim of self-defense.

For Crump, taking the Trayvon Martin story outside of Sanford simply entailed dialing up a few well-placed friends such as the Rev. Al Sharpton. Crump worked closely with the civil rights leader in 2006 on another racially charged case—the controversial death of a 14-year-old, African-American inmate of a Florida boot camp.

“I had to call people like Sharpton and a few other black civil rights leaders and the black media to tell them about this story,’’ said Crump. “I had to get them to understand what happened to this young man and what hadn’t happened in his case so they could spread the word.’’

Historically, cases of murder and violence against blacks in the United States rarely have been given the same amount of attention as cases in which the victims of crime are white—and often go unnoticed and unprosecuted.

Just days after hearing the details of Trayvon’s death, Sharpton arranged to have Crump and the teenager’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, on his syndicated radio show and his popular MSNBC show, Politics Nation, to tell their story.

(snip)

In the wake of non-stop media attention from the likes of Sharpton and CNN’s Don Lemon concerning the Trayvon Martin case, black media blogs such as MediaTakeOut.com and Huffington Post Black Voices also began publishing accounts and editorials about the Florida case—daily. Almost instantly, readers of all races, ages, and backgrounds began tweeting and posting on Facebook their outrage over how the police have handled the case, and the lack of an arrest in the shooting. To date, almost 1 million people have signed a Change.Org petition to have Zimmerman arrested. In response to the widespread outrage, the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the shooting.

Wouldn’t it be great if Al couldn’t breathe for real.
