The death of that black man in Minneapolis is about the worst video I've seen but

[Orangeclad]

the looting and setting innocent businesses on fire is absolutely the wrong answer to it.
The man should never have died and is horrible and atrocious police behavior.

The police have been fired and the president has instructed the FBI and DOJ to expedite this investigation. There should be swift justice and criminal prosecution.

But looting and burning are not the answer. Why do innocent businesses who had nothing to do with the death have to pay the price? They shouldn't.

Any excuse for hoot’n, loot’n and shoot’n will work.

Yup!

The cause of death will soon be listed as Chinese virus level.

 

[sadgator]

It’s an effect of helplessness...

There is no excuse for it, but it’s unfortunately indicative of why the country will be at civil war very soon...

These crimes are perpetrated by equal-opportunity criminals using a tragic event as a catalyst to loot, commit arson, breaking/entering, criminal trespass, and endangerment. They are no better than the people they are revolting against. To them, sin/hate deserves sin/hate retribution.

I love most Police but that asshole needs a knee on his neck for about 10 minutes. What a sorry POS.

Civil war? Between whom? The Left wants no part of that?

With all due respect...a dude stealing a 52 inch Samsung during a Target melee ain’t the same thing as a dude using brutal authoritative force to kill somebody...just sayin’...

Well...sadgator didn’t say who’d win...

 

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Shockingly, dems are already swooping in and attempting to exploit this for political gain.

The left thinks that war will be fought on Twitter.

You are right, it ain't the same thing. But what does the burning and looting do to help the situation? Target didn't commit the murder, nor did Auto Zone. I hope the dude who stole the 52 inch Samsung remembers how he got it. That really honors George Floyd.
MLK would have organized a peaceful protest. But there are no black leaders like him.

Minneapolis mayor just said he completely understands the sadness of the blacks in his city that has been around FOR 400 YEARS.

In Minneapolis? My God, who knew? I mean, I understand now. Those Sioux were badasses 400 years ago. Must have been awful for the African newcomers.

Why were there no rioters when Justine Damond was shot by Mohamed Mohamed Noor back in 2017?

They burned businesses to the ground as well and anyone in that area could have been recklessly killed because of it. These criminals were waiting for a window to perpetrate these crimes, they are only using it as a platform, nothing more. Please quit rationalizing criminal acts.

Agree completely. There is zero justification for what that cop did but not every interaction between races, regardless of how awful it is, is an act of racism. Maybe that guy is a racist POS but we don't know that yet and his stupidity isn't proof of it.

I understand why black people are angry. I was angry too when I watched the video...and I'm about as white as white gets.

Agree completely with your comment. As a white man, it is a sickening video to watch. I told my wife it was like watching the equivalent of a lynching, except it started from the ground level.

Good point...it is apparently acceptable to be murdered by people of color

Way to give lip service to the man dying. Why am I not surprised at your hot take.

I sometimes wonder if you know what the words in your own posts mean.

Maybe Al can bring Tawana Brawley along with him, ya know, for added credibility.

A reverend for Satan, certainly nothing Christian.

Odd twist: They both worked together at the same club in security as late as last year.

Where did sadgator “rationalize” criminal behavior? sadgator said stealing a tv isn’t the same thing as using brutal authoritarian force to kill a citizen while they beg for mercy...which is isn’t. Both are crimes.

Oh dandy. Just what we need, a white liberal telling us what it feels like to be a black man.
