FTR, from what I saw in that video, that cop, at a minimum was guilty of negligent homicide. There was no excuse for what happened to that man - NONE. That said, this kind of behavior says much more about the quality of citizen that community has created. The government stepping aside and allowing businesses to be sacked and no effort made to stop it is just another example of how overtly lawless we are becoming. It will be interesting to see if force is used to stop this or if any charges are levied against these fine, upstanding citizens who so willingly posed for the camera. I notice it was a Target store. I sure hope none of the "protesters" used the wrong bathroom while they were, uh, shopping... SMH 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of looting I see situations like this and it makes me reflect on how average citizens from my part of the country are often mocked or vilified for their ignorance and "intolerance". Fortunately most of us don't CARE what others believe about us. We're more concerned with how our actions and those of our neighbors, are accepted as fair and equitable. I'm not saying this kind of rabble doesn't exist down here. What I'm saying is they KNOW where the line is and they know they cross it at their own peril. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 1992 there were widespread riots over a verdict in a case of police brutality that citizens in LA thought were unjust. They basically began to loot and burn and take it out on anyone that came in their way. The funniest part of that whole scene was the realization by the looters that the Koreans they hated for running businesses in "their" neighborhoods, weren't going to sit by and watch a bunch of thugs destroy their livelihood. When the smoke cleared, the only businesses LEFT in those neighborhoods were owned by those Korean Americans 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a reminder that our nation is made up of 50 different state governments and some are run by Republicans, some by Democrats and the approach to law enforcement often varies based on politics. What is happening in Minnesota would NOT be so easy to get away with in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia... The Liberal approach to this kind of lawlessness tends to be the choice to look the other way, let the businesses take the hit and allow the "righteous rage" of the citizens be heard and understood. It's insane and it's chipping away at the fabric of our nation in ways most don't even guess. Guarantee you, if stores in that town began leaving, the same people who were stealing and destroying property would be marching against the racism and injustice of the wealthy. They are a pathetic,disgusting bunch of losers who add nothing of value to this nation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post +susieice Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post #14 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) The Mayor has requested assistance from the National Guard. https://kstp.com/minnesota-news/lake-street-target-looted-as-protests-continue-in-minneapolis-may-riots-george-floyd/5743072/ He is also demanding that Officer Derek Chauvin be arrested and charged with murder. https://kstp.com/news/minneapolis-mayor-jacob-frey-calls-for-charges-to-be-filed-against-arresting-police-officer-in-george-floyd-case/5742647/?cat=1 This is not the first time Officer Chauvin has been involved in a use of force situation. Two previous ones involved shootings. The officer seen on the video with him, Tou Thao, has also been previously sued for excessive force. The other two officers who were fired joined the force in 2017 and 2019. https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/05/27/fired-mpd-officer-chauvin-has-been-involved-in-use-of-force-situations-before/ A video released from a surveillance camera at a restaurant clearly shows that at no time did George Floyd resist arrest. It shows him being taken from his SUV and being seated on the sidewalk. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/new-video-shows-minneapolis-police-arrest-of-george-floyd-before-death/ A Minneapolis Fire Fighter who happened to be on the scene but off duty, offered to assist police and told them to check him for a pulse. https://www.firerescue1.com/off-duty/articles/video-off-duty-ff-pleads-with-minneapolis-police-to-assess-george-floyd-qpHAGleuOb2wnlB4/ There have also been problems in Los Angeles. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-05-27/protestors-block-the-101-freeway I was watching news reports livestreamed from Minneapolis. My son lives in one of the suburbs and he's upset by this. I really do believe these officers should be charged for this man's death. It doesn't excuse the riots. There's no excuse for them. An Auto Zone store was set on fire last night and a liquor store was also looted. There's always those who will cause bigger problems and I saw people trying to keep the crowds calm. Many did not do things like that. But that man should not be dead. Edited May 28, 2020 by susieice 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when we come across a person who is a disaster we have to let them be a disaster without letting it spread to us. Such people cannot engage in self-reflection even when they cause themselves problems in life. They tend to do drugs, drink drive, commit other crimes, are avoided by people due to their mind being a mess, and have problems due to their negative attitudes in work and education. The one thing we all notice about them is their lives are full of self-caused problems which they dont learn from, because in their distorted perspective everyone else is to blame. The only thing we should do to them is pick them off by reporting them to the police or exposing them in the work place. Until then, let them get on with it so they hang themselves. In the news it said the man was resisting arrest but there is no footage of that. If a police officer has one that seems to be aggressive and potentially violent then they are allowed to subdue them with appropriate force. I hope the two officers haven't been sacked for political reasons, if they have they need to launch a tribunal case for wrongful dismissal. I suspect the US police like ours are required to carry a bodycam so they would have footage of this guy resisting arrest. If the guy resisting arrest wasn't being hostile and potentially violent, then subduing him with a knee on the neck is out of order. In that scenario its not murder, its manslaughter caused by an over eager officer or poor training. The police have to arrest many people everyday, every now and again things do go wrong resulting in a death. While some might say police caused deaths in the US are disportionately black men, that isn't an argument for racism because they do commit the most crime. Its not their race that causes the crime, is that they are most likely to have low socio-economic status which makes them feel disenfranchised from society. The next thing you know they buy into the culture that they are poor because `the white people hate us` and start going down the route in life that ends with them being in prison. That will be while a lot of them are looting, they have brought into that culture. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankenhunter Posted May 28, 2020 #16 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Notice how the racists jump in and use the only stores looted to denegrate the whole protest? Pretty pathetic Freetoroam, acidhead, and, and then. I watched every single video shown, and more. 95% of the protest was loud but peaceful. I noticed not one cop went across the street to stop the looting. To busy saving their own asses? Karma. It's far past the time for police officers to face real consequences for their actions. Not just firing them. The man was strangled to death by a sadistic legalized criminal, with legalized accomplices.

Perhaps you can explain the connection between this man's murder by a Minneapolis LEO and those who are looting and burning? It's a simple question. Their actions do not nullify what the idiot crazy cop did to that man but how does allowing such lawlessness help the situation at all? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iknowthetruth2389 Posted May 28, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Clearly looting is the wrong way to go about things but the undertone of racism in these post are sickning. Perfect example: https://nypost.com/2020/03/11/ohio-college-students-riot-after-classes-housing-closed-over-coronavirus/ Where is the post about the 1000s of Ohio students who rioted, jumped on cars and damaged their streets...just for fun? @acidhead and @freetoroam . This happened in March. Watch that video and tell me that isn't the true barbaric definition. There are many more videos like that but I see you people tend to focus on videos that fit your own ignorant narrative.

What that cop did was manslaughter at a minimum and I think a solid case of premeditation might even be made. No one is making excuses for what those cops did. OTOH, you seem to be ignoring the rioting, looting and burning of businesses that had nothing whatever to do with the actions of the dirty cops. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you agree that rioting and looting is an acceptable response to injustice? Don't misunderstand me, I have no problem whatever if the residents of Minneapolis want to burn down their own neighborhoods, I just have difficulty understanding how stealing from a big box store is somehow a reasonable response to what the cops did. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
