The bystanders in black communities always yell at the police when they take one of theirs down...and so does the criminal caught and being arrested....especially if there's a crowd around taking photos.....it's part of drama tried and tested. And if the media is there all the more. So I'd never believe anyone in the crowds. And if they're getting out of control then I'd have my own life to be concerned about.

You see the Dems have used and abused the black communities for so long to raise riots and be their front men for creating chaos that they will never do anything more than re-play the rolls they've been given.....and the Dems will manipulate them even further by saying ow much they sympathize with their plight.

....meanwhile Soros and Obama wipe the evil saliva off their faces as they watch it all unfold to their delight.

This cop was a bad egg, and he was let go amongst the public to continue his behavior. The police knew/know what is in his record and it is going to come back to bite them. They are responsible for allowing him to interact with the public. This guy would not have past the psych to enter the service much less the police force.

It is/was a hopeless effort to appease the terminally un-appeasable ghetto rats.

Well if it were my son I'd be asking what was he doing to find himself in that situation in the first place....and if he was drugged or drunk or both, belligerent and resisting .. what in the world did he expect would happen?

Police are not always going to be fair and do things right when they're handling a criminal arrest amid a rowdy crowd. Just as teachers, attorneys, judges and all in the public service have to contend with a public that's never satisfied and often ungrateful and violent themselves...

> And to think....All these riots and destruction for a guy who wanted a pack of cigarettes he believed he could get by forgery while in a drunken or drugged stupor!...Oh and at 46 he was getting his life together.

.....”there were two other people in that car with the victim....I would love to know what they had to say”......

Well they tried to quietly slither away from the scene, and interesting to watch their moves on video.

Will the black community ever understand that he only way to avoid police violence is to quit committing crimes.

I’ve known many blacks that have never even seen police violence. But of course they are law abiding. Must be the difference.

......"Will the black community ever understand that the only way to avoid police violence is to quit committing crimes".......

Not when they teach and show their children and each other how criminal activity is done.

.... wasn't enough to strip the shelves...this guys going after the cash register area, while a young girl 8-10 years old likely.. and likely her mother stands beside....

One of the yellers was a 10-years martial arts expert yelling about the dangers of neck pins. Another was a female first responder type (EMT or police or somesuch) begging Mr. Kneecap to check for a pulse. Two of the video takers, IIRC, were white.

For all your talk of "waiting for the facts" you seem to be relying on rumor yourself.

I watched the video. You must be projecting about “your masters”.

That's a Target (which is headquartered in Minneapolis).

There is other footage of a Cub Foods (regional chain grocery affilliated with SuperValu); what's funny there is the *WHITE MILK* in the back was untouched.

Bystanders are just that bystanders....and it makes no difference what they’re vocation is the stories will always very and none get it right for the most part. People will see what they want to see....often mistakenly as reports and data attest.

I prefer to look at all the evidence and thus far I will not give the Criminal Floyd a pass and nor the Officers in question.

Umm, first responders have no axe to grind and work with the police. You appear to be drunk on your own Kool-Aid now.

Back up a step and realize that it now "looks like" you're moving the goalposts on yourself in support of a predetermined conclusion.

right. The police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong. Nobody saw this coming. Nobody at all.
———————————————————
Again, I reiterate, we do not know the cause of death, and we have been shown no video that shows why the officers were on top of Mr. Floyd? Until we have those two key pieces of evidence, we should withhold judgment. By the way, nobody is supporting the knee on the neck policing style of the one officer.

Hey he was just taking a knee!

WHAT IF?:

1) Floyd BIT or attempted to bite one of the officers?

2) Floyd SPIT on or at the group of officers? (would trigger a harsh reaction from cops in the age of Covid-19)

3) Floyd did NOT die of asphyxiation and had no neck injuries?

Am I the only one here who never got the impression Floyd couldn't breathe? He was talking wasn't he?

Looks bad on the cop's behalf but WHAT HAPPENED PRIOR TO THE KNEE EVENT THAT WAS CONVENIENTLY EDITED OUT OF THE VIDEO BY THE DEEP STATE MEDIA IN ORDER TO TRIGGER MASS RIOTING?

IF Floyd bit or spat upon the officers in this age of Covid-19, Chauvin's action is justified as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, I said it.

Do you just look for people to tangle with grey-wiskers??? Good grief let things go ....

Fact....A criminal died in the heat of being arrested for a crime he committed......won’t be the first time nor the last.

You are right.

Anyone who has seen the video and has an ounce of intelligence can see this was a horrific event. That man is dead! He shouldn’t be dead.

I would say there are an awful lot of people on this thread who’s posts of, move along nothing to see here, haven’t aged well. It sickens me and then they boast at how smart they are and they not only don’t know anything they are vile and uncaring. Sad, very, very sad.

If US Marines did this to a known terrorist in Afghanistan they'd have been court-martialed immediately on the strength of the video alone.

If the state executed someone convicted of raping and murdering a toddler, this method of death would be cruel and unusual punishment.

The dead guy passed a counterfeit $20 bill or bad check or whatever.

There was no need to drag him out of his car.

They could've put chocks on the wheels and waited him out.

They could've arrested him at home a few days later. Having his car means you know his home address.

There was no need to escalate to the point of killing him.

It's not like he was going Aloha Snackbar in a gay nightclub with semiautomatic weapons, or ripped the tag off his mattress, or wore a MAGA hat in public, or anything.

And it wasn't in the heat. Nine continuous minutes of a knee on the neck to beyond the point he craps himself (apparently the point of death) is vast overkill.

On film. In public.
