Prime example how there is no accountability in Democrap run cities which is why these killings by cops and riots and looting happen 100% of the time in Democrap run cities. Why was this cop on the job? He has a long list of complaints and problems, and looking at that video I could tell he’s a nut they way he’s twisting his knee into the guys neck, taunting him. He has the same mentality as a Justin Volpe and nothing is done about it because there is no accountability because democrats do NOTHING once they are elected. Why were the other cops watching this doing nothing? What kind of hiring and training program do they have there? Just like the Eric Garner case in the 100% run democrat city of New York. Garner is laying on the ground not breathing and not ONE cop even thought of checking on him. Do you know the last time Minneapolis had a Republican Mayor was FIFTY years ago? That’s FIFTY years of do-nothing Democraps sitting on their ass and now these same morons who vote for them over and over and over are outraged?

You want an answer?
Declare Martial Law.
Call up the National Guard.
Looters, arsonists, mask wearers will be shot on sight - no warnings.
I assume Minnesota has a governor. Why hasn’t the governor taken charge?
You get what you vote for.

I’m having a hard time understanding why the guard isn’t suppressing this, or rather being asked to more effectively suppress this. This is antifa and BLM, both of which should be classified as terrorist groups and dealt with accordingly.

Sounds like CO is in for some fun and this will probably spread to many more states.

In the end we will have another object lesson in race hatred spewed from multiple different races and ginned up by the usual suspects. The victims of all this chaos and damage will be totally innocent people who are more interested in just being left alone and going about their daily lives than they are about concerning themselves with how do I placate people who want to charge me with racism when I never thought that way until they brought it up.

Good people in Minneapolis need to pack up and get out... property values are going to drop, violent crime will skyrocket and stores will disappear.

All what will be left?

Liquor stores, thugs, people too poor to move, and whiny black women lamenting that white people have nice stores and they don’t...

Well the democrats and their stooge media partners are moving on from Wuhan flu. If they thought there was anything left to be gained from the flu scam this would not be taking attention away from it. I wonder what the October Surprise will be? Even Fauci is backing away from the second wave BS, so they’ll need a new fraud.

“...when the looting starts, the shooting starts...”

That’s not electioneering...that should be SOP. The only weakness I see in PDJT’s tweet is that the shooting should’ve started when the fires started...not the looting. Fires kill people, looting doesn’t (usually). People have a right to self-defense...especially if someone is lobbing a firebomb at your house/business.

This. One party states have no accountability, no real check-and-balance, and big city Dems have done every kind of hiring on a patronage / political basis practically forever. This is what you voted for, Minneapolis. Congratulations.

Calling it a “Murder” without a full expose of ALL evidence means the poster has already made up their mind and is just punching buttons. This poster has a bias. Iow this post isnt meant to be taken seriously. its an opinion. emotion driven with little or no educated insight. a nothingburger

Mayor Frey is leading. Leading his city into anarchy. With comments like these, it’s clear he doesn’t understand the reality of the Thin Blue Line keeping us from chaos:

Mayor Jacob Frey: (00:00)

… The third precinct. It became clear that there were imminent threats to both officers and public. And the danger became necessary. And I made the decision to evacuate the third precinct.

“Mayor Jacob Frey: (00:28)

The symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the importance of life, of our officers, or the public. We could not risk serious injury to anyone, and we will continue to patrol the third precinct, entirely. We will continue to do our jobs in that area. Brick and mortar is not as important as life. Happy to answer any questions on this topic.”

As for those criticizing the President for implying that looters will be shot, that’s exactly what the innocent people in Minneapolis need to hear. A firm statement that direct action will be taken to protect their lives and property from the mob.

Personally, I would let Minneapolis burn so that its citizens see the result of electing a Democrat Mayor, Democrat Council, who appoint the Democrat Chief of Police, and Democrat Police Conduct Oversight Committee.

Are these riots really just about cops killing someone or are they an expansion of being fed up with all levels of government locking everyone down? It doesn’t take much to push people over the edge. Severe quarantine orders, bars and restaurants closed, stay at home orders then a spark where some cops do something stupid and all hell breaks loose. No matter the race. This same stuff could happen anywhere with little incentive given how some governors are using law enforcement to regulate their citizens actions relative to the governors edicts. These riots are a small demonstration of what could happen everywhere in some states if they continue these lockdowns.

Ok thanks.

Just as an aside, my imagination isn't powerful enough to envisage even the ghost of an approximation of what sort of evidence might emerge that would justify an officer using his knee to clamp shut the vital arteries and airway of the throat of a handcuffed man by grinding it into the ground.

The fact that the officer's hands were in his pockets indicates that he wasn't feeling threatened by George Floyd.

Was wondering what was going to knock the recovery from COVID off the front page.

Exactly. If you arrest the cops and they are found not guilty, Rodney King here we come.

Don’t arrest them and you get Freddie Gray. I live near Baltimore and was shocked they was no violence when the cops were acquitted and charges dropped.

Democrats = no leadership and mob rule. It was Obama’s MO.

Yeah the lock-down makes it hard for any psychos to do a mass-casualty attack. No schools in session, no discos pumpin' out the beats. No packed restaurants, no concerts.

We pay them not to riot. They are not keeping up their end of the bargain.

So that means that if I think, based on the evidence I’ve seen, the cops murdered this guy, that I’m also a cop hater ridden with white guilt?
