    I'm admiring a officer who did his duty in subduing a violent criminal and was then railroaded to appease the mob,

    Chauvin was dealing with a person who was black. Being black doesn't make him violent. He did not heart anybody. We all know it.
    You insisting he was a violent criminal, basically is you saying that his black life did not matter.
    You symbolize what is wrong with the US.

    While I don’t agree that Chauvin was innocent. Nor do I know if he was guilty as I didn’t not sit in on the justynto hear the evidence. But you making Floyd out to be some poor innocent soul is pure bullshit.
    He was a violent criminal. He had an extensive criminal history going back for many years. including gun crimes and drug crimes. I believe it was 9 assorted crimes on his record (check Snopes if you do t believe it, snopes being a liberal owned “fact” checker)
    I would venture a guess that every weekend in Chicago there is a black man killed who is more deserving of
    Your bleeding heart and tears. But no one hear ever cry’s for these poor souls. The innocents. The innocent little kids who got in the way of a black gang fight. I see no one. No one here or on the news holding riots for the 5 year old shot on Detroit’s east side. He didn’t commit any drug crimes. He didn’t rob someone at gun point. He didn’t choose to do drugs. He just happened to be the wrong place when the black drug dealer went to collect his debt with an AK.
    You symbolize what is wrong today.

    He wasn't a violent criminal when he got arrested. But if you want to bring up his past....
    Let's bring up Chauvin's past: Chauvin is a very violent cop. He beat unarmed children on the head with his flashlight till they bled and chocked them unconscious. He's getting a trial over that one. He also is a massive thieve, since he did not declare half a million of income. The thug is dirty.

    But you bringing up Floyd was at one point violent, which has nothing to do with why he got killed, suggest you do not care that he died. As in... his black life doesn't matter.
    You symbolize everything what's wrong

    First of all I never said or hinted that Chauvin was a good cop. He’s had his issues and now it looks like he’s paying for it, right? Right? But I don’t see anyone rioting in Chauvins name, don’t see anyone lighting building on fire In Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland in Chauvins name.
    So 40 people have been shot in Chicago this weekend and it’s not over with yet. Couple are cops. One is a two year old little girl.
    Are you and the BLM, antifa terrorists gonna hold up pictures of the little girl when they riot, when they vandalize the local Walmart’s? Steal TV’s from Best Buy? Burn down the local family barbershop?
    No. Little girls, much less the other 40 people shot in Chicago not important. She could die any Blm wouldn’t even shed a tear.
    And that’s just Chicago.Should we look at Detroit, Memphis, Cleveland, LA, St Louis see if anyone there died that blm cares to March for? No, probably no one they care bout.

    All you got is whataboutism, to deflect the rather wide range police brutality to predominantly the black community, and their ongoing harassments and unreasonable killing them. What Chauvin did was not exactly unique. Daniel Pantaleo did the same thing, and never saw a courtroom. It's these excesses of the highest amount of violence, all the way down to stopping people because they are driving while black. It's a thing that is actually proven to be true. Stanford uni did that, after looking at almost 100 million stops.

    Cute. Are you and your pro slaver flag waving white far right extremists.....

    No, his violence made him violent. He did not 'heart' anybody? I say nothing of the sort, he just has to answer for his actions. That is what is right with the US.

    Yeah.. dozens of cops got kicked in the hospital... oh wait. Nothing of the sort happened.
    Chauvin made sure his victim was not able to answer against the accusations made, because he lynched him to death for no reason.

    "Dozens of cops got kicked in the hospital", what the hell does that mean? Floyd killed himself by resisting arrest, why on earth would Chauvin want to kill him?

    Turns out he was heavy handed with black people even when he moonlighted as a bouncer working with George Floyd, Chauvin got fired for being too strict with blacks; also his wife said she thought he had some phobia of black people or, felt the need to be heavy handed with them; then when he chokes someone to Death and his own police force say it's murder; it's murder for sure; since they all lined up and threw him under the bus.

    When a white person has a phobia of black people in America, then something needs to be fixed.

    In this case... Chauvin lynched his victim. He had his fair trail, that he made sure his victim would never have. And you go ask Chauvin yourself why the hell he get applying all that force when his victim stopped breather after 6 minutes, and went on for an other 3 and even went on when the medics were trying to safe him.

    There was no lynching, you don't even know what that word means. That's not the point, of course, cuz you'll make any excuse for any bad behavior black people do. Your hero broke into a pregnant womans house and stole from her and pointed a gun at her stomach and threatened to kill her.

    That's your hero! Home invasions, felonies, narcotics abuse, fighting lawful arrests, what a fine choice you made!

    Do you post and then see black people everywhere reading them and clapping for you? Do you have some fantasy where black people carry you on their shoulders and chant how great you are at pretending they don't do the things they do? Does this help people with insecurities?

    I know what it means. And Chauvin did that.

    Totally not relevant why Chauvin lynched him. While Chauvin is a dirty cop.

    Person attack with a hint of racism.

    how can I when you don’t know the definition of words and spew “racism” whether it’s relevant or not? You make no logical cases, it’s just about your dream of being adored by black people. I have no idea why anyone would purposely and hilariously give themselves white guilt, but the amusement factor is through the roof. I’d suggest you follow your SJW dreams to Mexico, but that sh**hole is dangerous and there’s no black people to speak of so you’d either get hurt or have to find a new word.

    And you honestly believe that is all there is too it. There is no history. There is no context. They have never seen it before. That is honestly your view of this?

    No, they have lived with it their entire lives.

    What makes you think there is no effort to stop black on black violence? Do you think people who live in ghettos don't fear violence?

    So Reasonablerob, do you think it is reasonable to ASSUME that people are burning down cities for no reason? And why do you ASSUME it is fair and reasonable to equate a civil rights group with looting and burning? That is like saying all trump supporters are the same as the KKK marching in honor of trump with torches.

    I grew up on the Compton border. What would you like to know?

    Not even sure if I answered the OP question, its been so long, so I will try again. BLM is a classic example of a very broad and loose coalition group, who's policy views are so vague and ambiguously worded, that they can be construed and misconstrued into anything. By avoiding the trap of endorsing specific public policy initiatives at the national level that might not sell as well in the Tampa or Houston as in Newark, or Detroit they fell into the trap of letting themselves be defined by their opponents based on what some BLM activists say in blogs or in political rallies. Not every member of BLM is equally gifted in honing a message that markets well across the country. A lot of them don't care about public relations when they are screaming slogans at a march or writing something on a facebook wall. Btthegreat's exhibit A. We end up with a vague 'defunding police' objective, pulled out of any interpretive or mitigating context, that scares the living daylights out of more people than it impresses and they are stuck playing defense across major media for a year.

    Even the name Black Lives Matter, has been weaponized as overt racism, when in context, it is not.
