The George Floyd Murder Protests: Lets be clear about what is really going on.

So, even if all true, does that justify the cop putting his knee in his neck for 8 or 9 minutes- even after he stopped moving? What exactly is your point? It was excessive force anyway you cut it. And why do you think that the cop had his hand in his pocket with a glazed look on his face ? What do you think he might have been doing? They should check his shorts.

 

It is an idiotic idea the same way that private prisons are a bad idea. Public safety if one of the primary responsibilities of government . And privatization means for profit. And who pays for that ? Do you think that they would put quality of service of profit? While we're at it, lets privatize the fire departments. How about the army ? Just close up government altogether.

Much of this could be discouraged by the media - but instead our "news " outlets seem to encourage the riots.
Sad ... ´

 

Yeah, I looked them up and found they are not noted white supremacists before I replied in Post #2. If I can Google, you can too! In fact, it's fairly easy for everyone here to fact check your false claims in Post #1.

 

It looks like most of the protests and protestors are peaceful.

 

I was replying to @Curious Always comment that Floyd did not resist arrest. My point was that he did resist arrest (and the friend did not resist). This should have been a routine stop and arrest. I've agreed with most of the public that Chauvin's actions were excessively brutal and he should be charged and jailed for murder or manslaughter.

Chauvin's hands were not in his pockets. They were on his thighs. He was wearing black gloves. Not that where his hands were placed matters that much, unless you want to invent more stories.

You always know when someone is getting ready to lie to you when they preface their bullshit with "Let's be clear about what is really going on here..."

...and it's clear that bullshit is what is going on there.

However, what's been going on in our streets the past 2 weeks are 1) protests conducted by legitimate law-abiding citizens exercising their First Amendment rights and 2) an orgy of violence conducted by criminals and radical Left "protest" groups who have a long history of violence going back to the WTO riots in Seattle in 1999.

Another thing that's been going on is the propaganda campaign conducted by the Left to absolve itself of any responsibility and accountability for the widespread death and destruction it has incited and perpetrated over the past two weeks.

Then there's the reckless negligence and irresponsibility of the Democratic officials who have incited, excused and refused to prevent the violence because they are sympathetic with their ideological comrades in the violent radical Leftist "protest" groups committing the violence and think they can exploit the violence for their own personal and political gain.

And now we see that these violent LW extremists are demanding free anarchic reign in our streets by disbanding and defunding the police departments in our cities.

Obviously, these violent Leftist "protest" groups aren't interested in the just cause they have hijacked and defiled. The ONLY thing they are interested in is POWER.

 

We have a few folks from down under who seemingly like to claim racism is an American problem. So to them I ask this question: why the anti racism protest in Australia?

 

You could set an example by documenting this post, but I doubt you will.

"Documentation for thee, but not for me."

 

No it isn't.

If they do a better job at a reasonable price, they are better value to the taxpayer.

Doesn't advance your point.

So what?

If we get better respect for our rights, at a reasonable price, who cares?

Incoherent.

 

They're openly calling for the murders of white people. Where is CNN?

 

Yes, you are right. I don't actually expect either of my ideas to be adopted. The grievance-mongers need white policemen in Black areas, to keep the pot on the boil.
And of course, no police at all in Black areas, and you would get exactly what you describe ... to the extent that this does not occur now. It would be like when the white colonialists withdrew from Africa ... at which point it descended into corruption and violence and chaos.

What really needs to happen is for Red and Blue to separate.

 

And that means that no cops were seriously injured or killed?

 

Red is more than happy to coexist with Blue. Blue wants totalitarian dominance though. Knowing that their message of "Take from the rich and give to the poor," will always win votes of the poor, they plan to bring in millions of 3rd world migrants to completely wipe out Red once and for all, and the American experiment of liberty, for good. The new migrants are accustomed to more totalitarian and dictatorial "socialist" governments, so no need to assimilate or to preserve the American capitalist culture which created a middle-class.

It doesn't matter if Red and Blue separate for a short while. Blue will end up colonizing Red with their numbers.

 

We need a complete overhaul of Congress. If they were scared of their jobs, they would clean up their act, and stop making EVERY issue so partisan. COVID shouldn't be partisan. What happened to George Floyd shouldn't be partisan. Rioting and destroying communities shouldn't be partisan.

You know who wants everything partisan? The idiots in Congress. They need to get out. MOST people get along; it's the noisemakers that create the hatred. The non partisan people need to take charge.

Unfortunately, partisans have us 60/40, roughly speaking. Keeping the proles fighting is a wet dream for all Congress Criminals.

We need scientists, math nerds, teachers & entrepreneurs in DC. Lawyers get nothing done.

 

Does some worthless, drug-addled criminal's death justify burning down half of the cities in the country?

 

I feel sorry for the people who had legitimate concerns. They will be ignored. In the wake of police brutality there shouldn't be brutality and there was. I understand there are protesters but there are also riotors. and the news cameras focus on the destruction and the mayhem. Because that's what brings in the ratings and sells pharmaceuticals in Chevrolets. And the people of the United States are not sympathetic with the riots they're probably cheering on the police at this moment.

To the average person they don't see all of this and they're not going to but they're going to see is city blocks burning to the ground people's businesses and homes ruined.

This isn't the fault of the protesters. But it drowned out their message and nothing will come of this.

The people you should be angry with are the people with the cameras video taping the juicy bits so that eyeballs are watching their television channel so that eyeballs are watching the commercials so they can sell Colgate and shampoo.

 

Horsepucky! Why are you trying to cover for them? What's in it for you?

 

No they're only reporting part of it. The juicy bits that people want to watch, you know those parts of a television show where it's not the television show called the commercials. That is the only reason anything is on TV.

They film the riots and violence in the burned up stuff in the busted up buildings because people want to see it. There's a certain twisted part of people that like seeing Carnage.

so they're not filming the peaceful protests so no they're stoking the flames of hatred. If they wanted the protest to mean anything they wouldn't show a second of any riots.

You can't show us buildings blazing and then tell us it's not violent.

 

Looters could be anybody but there are communist Marxist types in the mix we have seen them. BLM ANTIFA just to name two.

 

I think that it's likely that there was a bit of resisting arrest, but isn't 4:13 and onward the only thing which matters?

Based on the evidence, the people would be a heck of a lot safer without the thug cops abusings and killing them.

 

Absolutely. Let the police withdraw from Black areas. Then the young people there could buckle down to writing their homework assignments, preparing to be doctors and lawyers and engineers, without brutal policemen abusing them. Simple.
