    So black lives don’t matter quite so equally. I echo the sentiment of Terrence from the tweet. WAS IT ALL WORTH IT? How many more need to die before the MSM and black leaders acknowledge the far bigger problems in the black community than the statistically rare occurrence of white and black police brutality. How long do we have to wait to hear Leftists stand up for this man the same way they stand up for others? It’s crickets. The same crickets for the other officers killed, maimed, run over. Attacked. Innocent people being attacked by thugs the MSM won’t acknowledge.

    CNN covers it barely, but spends most of their time on how Trump tweeted about it instead of the man who died and the person who did and Why!!!

    If the MSM and Dem leadership condemned the rioting instantly it all might not have gotten out of control. But they all remained silent. City leadership sat there and told cops to stand down. Let them burn. Let them pillage.

    What hs all this accomplished except drive a bigger stake in tie ground and push people further apart over what? The need to get Trump out? And that’s all this is. The more the country burns. The more people die. That is what the NYT, CNN, the nightly talk shows and Biden can repeat right up until Election Day when it was the Democrats and Leftists fanning the flames and spreading the hate and violence.

    It has to stop!! Riots are not a race issue. It’s a LAW issue. You can’t justify it. You can’t blame a president or cops and anyone except those doing it. Blame those responsible instead of ignoring or passing the buck.

    Wonder if Biden will be at the retired officer's funeral.

    Here in my state, s gaggle of Dallas PD officers did essentially the same thing, but to a white guy. Killing dude on the side of the road, all the while mocking and ignoring dudes medical condition (he was dead. they thought he was asleep). Because you know, you go to sleep with a police officer kneeling on your neck and all... Not a word. Well, except for the zero hedge story. If police violence is the concern, why does it only matter to liberals if the victim is black? The answer is simple. They are racists. They use these stories to whip the racism in their own tribe.

    We are losing the narrative. The MSM is pretending that the right is opposed to peaceful protests and are claiming victim status. They are lying through their teeth everywhere and on every channel (except FOX). NOBODY GIVES A DAMN IF YOU PEACEFULLY PROTEST..... NOBODY.... quit lying. Looting, burning, beating and murdering IS NOT PEACEFUL PROTEST.

    So tragic and sad.....this just further confirms the radical leftwing terrorist are out there, and they aren't at all concerned about George, his death, or how African-Americans are treated in this country

    The left wing terrorist are simply out there to kill, riot, steal, damage property, and harm the United States of America.

    Shocking how people think Biden at all cares about Floyd. This is pure PR.

    As to the OP, its disgusting. The issues the black community faces are so little related to white people, yet they view us as the reason their youth is out robbing and killing each other. To the point the comparatively rare occurrence of a white person victimizing a black person receives endless air time on the MSM, fomenting anger and hatred among the ignorant masses.

    I suspect that while it looks bleak now, that in the next couple decades people will in considerably larger numbers wake up from this delusion. Once that happens, dems and their MSM tools will have no more need to foment this kind of anger with objectively false narratives. And we will see significant improvement in race relations.

    11 People have died in these riots so far. Some have been looters killed by business owners. Most have been business owners being killed so people could take their stuff. 11 dead because 4 bad cops, hired by democrats, protected by democrats from their past complaints, murdered a black man in cold blood. 1 of the cops is already in jail and will probably Epstein himself. The other 3 are being investigated and probably be in jail. So few people fight for the murderers, it probably resembles less than the number of people who stood with Timothy McVeigh.

    That story is so sad.

    Is this really what we are coming to.....

    I've never hated Obama more than I do now. This is his race-baiting and his divisiveness and his anti-white rhetoric coming home to roost, and it's tearing our country apart, while the media and the Democrats do nothing but throw fuel on the fire.

    Rot in h*ll anyone who supports this :censored:

    Chris Cuomo doesn't know where it says protests should or need to be "peaceful". Obviously he was a liberal Lawyer who never read the constitution.

    I think it's complicate at that level. Racist cops exist, but not all negative things that happen to black people is because of racism. Some negative things happen simply because someone is abusive in any way.
    There is quite a balance between not denying the existence of racism and not falling into race-paranoia where every act is always seen as racially motivated.
    To be fair, the easiest way for a hollow individual, no matter what's their race, is to define themselves by their colour of skin, that's true for black, white and other.

    It's a pretty low bar to just expect people to not immediately jump to the conclusion racism is at fault without evidence.

    Yet, the left cannot even meet that bar.

    Whats sad, is that the right was actually losing faith in the police as a whole because they were enforcing unjust laws during the lock down. The left and right were coming together on the power level of police. The right was FULLY in support of getting justice for Floyd. Then the riots happen and show where the right were heading towards lawlessness and chaos of the left. Now, hundreds of police have been harmed and a dozen or so killed and the right have snapped out of the daze because they see more lawless leftists than over zealous cops.

    Gonna go with a murder headline, huh?? Well, good luck with that...

    But sad that he was killed either way.... sounds like he was a great American just trying to help a buddy out.

    Hope they catch and prosecute his killer...

    You’re a piece of work. Old man shot by a thug stealing a TV and it’s just a killing huh? Are you kidding? Did you not watch the video? Learn the definition of murder. A cop subduing someone incorrectly and he died from the abuse is NOT murder like a thug shooting someone on a sidewalk while trying to loot a store. Murder is intent to kill. It’s going to be difficult to prove the cop meant to kill the guy. Manslaughter at the least. Murder possibly. Going to jail forever...hopefully.

    Ah, cause it fits their narrative? "A killing" isn't even a legal term, would you call what happened to George Floyd "a killing"? They are BOTH murders. Or legally speaking a homicide.

    Is he going to tell us Floyd could have been his brother or son or some other family member? I don't care what Obama has to say, his gaslighting doesn't concern me or mine or my community.

    Im sorry. I thought you would educate yourself on a subject before actually commenting. Silly me;). And the twitter feed had clips but again... You probably didn’t even read about nor do you care because hey, black man kills black man so it don’t matter. Just another killing. Like the 1000s happening in the inner cities all the time. Not as important as a rare example of a white cop killing a defenseless black man.

    oiy.
