Deadly shooting near George Floyd protest as looting, arson grip Minneapolis

I have one question
do you people actually think all this mayhem all this destruction all this lootings and violence helps you cause? give a sympathetic ear to your protest?

want to know why MLK was so effective was able to change hearts and minds got the majority support and ushered in legislation that changed everything

because he was nonviolent he advocated peace he marched he gave speeches but there wasn't looting there wasn't violence on his part he didn't incite anything but peace

Now these looting violent thugs yes used the word thugs because thats what they are the white looters included will have much of the public concentrate on the looting destruction and violence and not the murder

you will lose the publics sympathy there for the cause

 

Man, some times I wish I could go "protest" and get free TVs because of a death of someone that didn't deserve to die. I guess this is the "reparations" they feel they are owed.

Leftist media bias on show again. This is called a "peaceful protest" while those who protested MI gov at the capital were "violent". One has looting and the other had zero damage done to any property.

Also, sometimes things get out of control.

These 4 cops are ultimately going to be responsible for half a BILLION dollars in damage.

Bad investment in a quartet of meatheads.

 

The cops are responsible for the death of one man. The community rioting is responsible for their own actions <Mod Edit>

 

What should the cops punishment be?

 

Prison. At least 25 years.

 

If these protests were church gatherings the media, and government officials, would ascribe a future Covid-19 body count for the inhuman disregard in not social distancing.

 

I hope everyone who was outraged over people actually peacefully protesting the country re-opening, are far more disgusted by the violent and costly looting. I’m guessing the excuses will range from, “it’s Trumps fault” it’s “the cops fault”, “white people”, “they deserve the stuff they’re stealing”, “corporations deserve it”. Did I miss any?

And predictably the MSM this morning is not condemning it the way they called out white people yelling or standing around with guns. As usual the ones actually causing the violence and costly damage aren’t the ones the MSM go after. Wonder why?

The cops or 1 cop is directly responsible for the mans death and it certainly looks like manslaughter. He should serve jail time. The others aren’t fit to be officers.

 

you serious
how can you blame criminals acts as a response to a criminal act?
thats childish

 

what ever a second degree murder charge would be at least for the cop that held down the victim with his knee and the other cops that stood by and did nothing depraved indifference

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Sometimes things get out of control.

Sports rioting for instance.

4 meatheads: Responsible for what will likely be half a BILLION in damage

 

Concur.

 

Not really. As much as I detest the gratuitous destruction of private property, it does get results.

 

You missed "sometimes things get out of control."

But some good points.

Employing meatheads as cops?

VERY costly to the entire nation.

 

I don't know what you're saying.

Out of control: How things sometimes get

 

Concur.

 

when?
two of the most famous activist that brought about real change real reform did so peacefully no riots no looting no violence

when you become violent and destructive you become the bad guy and that becomes the focus not the injustice you supposedly are protesting

 

So the Michigan protestors should have torn down the capital, or looted stores in order to get support? Fascinating approach

 

This is nothing less than mob mentality and these people should be arrested with as much force as necessary! Peaceful protests I will defend, but their actions are not different from the actions of the white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA and if you think otherwise... Hatred 101!

 

Sadly those white supremacists, as shitty as they are, barely did damage comparable to this.

 

Exactly.

 

Any legitimacy the rioters may have had in their argument is lost. Now they are just a bunch of criminals taking advantage of the situation for personal gain.

 

Pretty sure there have been articles about how "at least the 'peaceful protestors' are covering their faces in light of COVID-19".

 

Target has insurance. This is because of COVID. They are losing their jobs (of course this wont help either).

 

so tired of the violence and filth from the left
