Honestly have no idea what the fuck the cop thought was going to happen, he was being filmed the whole time as well ffs.

C*nts have been above the law for too long.

Reminds me of a song by N.W.A. :pinch:

What has changed?

People of color have been going thru this for years and everyone ignored it.  From emmett till to George floyd.  Shit just repeats.

Yes protest but the looting going on is piss poor.

A riot is the language of the unheard - MLK Jr. 

Nothing has changed in decades. 

Totally agree with this. No excuse for the looting.

This. Funny how I've seen a lot of people complaining about the looting but the whole peaceful protests. The kneeling . The I can't breathes shirts from years ago get shat on by the media . Poc had enough and until shit changes who can blame them for all this? 4 cases of black people getting killed within a week. 

So why not just riot against the cops?

I don't think the question should be who can blame them for this reaction. The better question is how can someone justify them breaking into and robbing businesses that have absolutely nothing to do with police brutality. 

They protested. They told the world what was happening and every one ignored them . From emmett till to George floyd . To philandro castle to Patrick dorismond.  To the brutalizian sexual assault of abner louima.  The shooting of amadou diallo.  Shot at 41 times got hit 19 times because the cops thought he was holding a gun.  It was his wallet.  

Don't you understand my question?

I'm saying go hard against the cops. All the protests against them, and all the damage they've caused to police cars isn't what I'm against. 

What I'm 100% against is stupidity where you think it is okay to loot. These idiots have went and attacked many people who themselves are totally against what the police have done. 

I thought the dudes trying to hammer open the Target self serve machines after closing time were hilarious.

The American education system at work.

It's just sad.  America is broken.

Kudos to the journo.

Yup, society will devour itself in the end, China and Russia won't have to lift a finger.

Then they will sit back and say they were right all along.

Agree. This just weakens their cause.

Shit like this happens all the time in America.  It happens to Asians and whites as well, injustice and brutality happens to everyone regardless of race, culture or creed.  The difference is the media only runs it when its a white cop and a black victim, when it fits perfectly into their BLM narrative and they can use it further fan racial tensions and create suspicion and paranoia against cops.  If George Floyd were white or the office black do you think this would have blown up like it has?  Would there be rioting and looting in the streets?  The way the media covers these events you would think black people are being specifically targeted, and while it might be true in the case of some individuals there is no evidence of it being systemic.  Statistically you are more likely to be a cop killed by a black than the other way around.

From 2013 to 2019 1100 people a year are killed on average by police in the US.  You are 3 times more likely to be shot dead by police if you are black rather than white despite making up only 13% of the population. 

So yeah Rus, maybe it's a thing.

Funny.

I distinctly remember that Australian girl who was killed by a black cop being a massive deal both here and in America.

Cmon now. Let's not pretend those looting are doing it as a form of protest. They are opportunistic scum, plain and simple.

Not a big deal in the US, and no looting or rampages.

If you are more outraged about the looting rather than the murder of an African American by the police, you are part of the problem. 

No building, dollar, toilet paper or any other piece of material is more important than the life of a person. This argument is a distraction. 

This. When people use this to totally ignore the main  issue that's plagued and plaguing America 

This is all CNN pseudo socialist bullshit.  Cops arent going around randomly killing blacks, there is no evidence of this happening systemically.  What happened to George Floyd was disgraceful, but according to the autopsy he didnt die of suffocation, he died of a combination of being restrained and heart disease.  Guy had drug issues.  Still the cop shouldve rendered assistance and didnt, for that deserves to lose his job and possibly more.  But this was not murder or racism or oppression.  Whats going on at the moment with all the riots is a misunderstanding and misplaced anger about blacks place in America.  They have have this imaginary deluded belief that the reason they fall behind in society is because whites are ganging up on them, when the real reason is because they are choosing gang violence, drugs and guns over education and careers.  Progressives and fawning pathethic white apologists like carlito wont save blacks, accountability and change of attitude will.

Sad to see so many people have been sucked in by the whole BLM bullshit.  Its such fucking bullshit and you are retarded if you believe it.

You just can't look at them in any other way. 

Not when you admit that you're fine with or at least understand protesters fighting cops, instead of targeting those innocent people that had nothing to do with the murder. 

I just can't understand how anyone can be so foolish to actually think that someone looting is only doing so because an innocent man was killed by a cop.

 Not for one second will I ever support a stupid evil movement that causes more divide between communities like BLM. It's a disgrace of a movement in my opinion so I agree with you on that organisation.

However you can't watch the 10 minute clip and say that it wasn't murder. No matter which way you look at it, that was straight out murder, and that officer should get life for that. 

 I thought that originally, but I also thought he suffocated.  But according to the autopsy he didnt suffocate.  If he didnt suffocate, then it wasnt murder.  However it appears from the video the cop was overtly aggressive in restraining the victim, and was extremely negligent when he failed to provide assistance despite complaining about not being able to breathe.  Cop was a shithead no doubt but I have a problem of calling him a murderer if the victims main cause of death was heart diesease.

Or, just hear this out: You can find both wrong.
