    Why don’t the cops ever show up during these looting’s?

    I guess a Target store is up for grabs to help settle the score.

    Hmmm....Yeah, Fox is mentioning the Target looting. That other stream looked like one of the people who organized the white liberal protest planners and organizers. He didn't want to show the lootings going on a block or two away. Projects the "wrong narrative".

    I think the sentence will be 10-15 years. In most states prisoners can get out after serving at least 60% of their sentence. So, my educated guess is that this cop will serve at least 8 years with the rest on parole. That’s if he behaves in prison. But former cops tend to have a hard time serving peacefully, so early release might never happen.

    That would be ideal, except cops seem to have a knack for "getting off easy".

    It seems as if the local white people in that city are OK with thug cops murdering white boys. Maybe if they had protested about white thug cops murdering black people the white thug cop wouldn't have murdered the white boy. Thug cops are like vipers who will strike out at anything in their range. If they get away with it once they will continue to do it, even attacking the snake lovers. Notice how the chief thug made up an excuse for the killer cop? He would do the same thing if the thug cop shoots your grandma in her bed at 2 am. "He feared for his life!!"

    Why don't you think kneeing on a guy's neck cutting off his air for 9 minutes is murder?

    You are the one who brought your idiot hero into the conversation. I made a legitimate comment about him in response.

    People have engaged in peaceful protests and been ignored. The next step is riots. If they are ineffective in getting the elites to change course the next step is armed insurrection. People are no longer willing to allow thug cops to get away with murder. So, the elite can eliminate the thug cops or suffer the consequences. People are not afraid.

    I feel sorry someone is dead and have sympathy for the family but I certainly don't necessarily think positively about him, bad things can happen when you do what he did THAT DAY.

    This was manslaughter. And the stupid look on the cop's faces that were surrounding the misuse of force as the crowd rightly read the situation as deadly force was slowly killing a man, in cuffs, who the four officers could have thrown into the back of a squad car if they need to safely contain him.

    The rules have NOTHING to do with race. It doesn't matter to the law what color anyone is. We are all subject to the same law and the same accountability for using force wisely and appropriately. Here is an example of the correct and proper application of deadly force.

    HERO: Fort Leavenworth soldier saves ‘countless lives’ by ending active shooter situation on bridge.

    “There was an active-duty soldier assigned to Fort Leavenworth waiting in traffic behind the event who saw the event unfold and determined it was an active shooter. . . . The soldier intervened by striking the shooter with his vehicle, causing him to be critically injured, ending the encounter with the active shooter and likely saving countless lives.”
    The soldier came on a situation where deadly force was being used unlawfully, the gunman was randomly shooting into cars and had already critically wounded one driver. This man here, had at his disposal, deadly force that could be used deactivate the shooter, and he quickly and effectively used it. He both stopped the shooter and held him for arrest. The police arrived to find one victim in critical condition and the unlawful gunman in critical condition, still underneath the car.

    By the dumb looks on these officer's faces they were improperly selected, ineffectively trained and not properly supervised. You strap on a gun and you have a duty to understand the proper application of deadly force. You pin on a badge and you are required to conduct yourself above reproach.

    I spent some time in very intensive self defense that included weapons tactical training. A number of law enforcement officers attended. These guys were all well trained and they knew the rules of deadly force like the back of their hand. They never blew up in frustration, but always continued to think, evaluate and make intelligent decisions. They were taught these skills by their trainers. Trainers that insured that only those with proper temperament and training strapped on the service revolver and pinned on the badge.

    Whenever there were shootings police or otherwise, because the rules, with only one exception are the same for police officers as they are for civilians. The facts would be reviewed and then there would be immediate consensus; "Sounds like a good shoot" or "That sounds really bad". To be in this role you are REQUIRED to make fast, solid, fact based decisions. You are authorized by our society to deal in lethal force. That requires the highest levels of competence and integrity. These four idiots, I wouldn't allow to scrape dogshit off my driveway. I sure as hell would never hand them a loaded gun.

    Well, Minnesota is currently burning now, because people riot after black people are killed.

    They just set the local Auto Parts store on fire. Yeah what a way to protest, burn down private businesses and run them out of your neighborhoods.

    It seems that lots of people in Minnesota are pissed at the Minneapolis police department =

    University of Minnesota limits ties with Minneapolis Police Department
    “University of Minnesota President Joan Gabel announced on Wednesday the university would drastically reduce its relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department following the killing of George Floyd by a police officer on Monday.

    “We have a responsibility to uphold our values and a duty to honor them,” Gabel wrote in an email to students and staff.

    Gabel said the university would no longer contract with the Minneapolis Police Department for additional law enforcement support needed at large events like football games and would no longer use them for specialized services like the K-9 Explosive detection units.”

    It’s sad.

    The rioters are not winning over new supporters.

    And what is the riot supposed to be accomplishing? The local authorities, the state authorites and the FBI and DOJ are investigating. The officers had not been suspended they have been fired. They are awaiting the wheels of justice to turn and face the charges they may face. What is the point of burning down your neighborhood and other people's property, people you don't even know. What do they want a lynching?

    That is why it is important for business leaders to put pressure on the Mayor, city council, Governor, and police chief when such incidents occur. They need to have immediate press conferences and lambast the cops and to show support for the community,

    As protests over George Floyd's death swell, looting and a fire erupt in south Minneapolis
    The Lake Street Target and a nearby liquor store were hit by looters, and an AutoZone store across from Third Precinct police headquarters was set ablaze.

    What happens to Joe Citizen when he is filmed committing a murder? His butt is immediately arrested and tossed into jail. So why the special treatment for these four murderers who happen to be cops? Why is the police department dragging its feet on arresting these killers?
