Because the mother fucking police didn't shoot them.

Name one time a gun has hurt someone. Armed assaults of buildings are 100% safe and never resulted in danger.

please tell me this is satire

I would like to think it's obvious, but some people probably do approach reality with that sort of mindset.

itp guns have never hurt people! Lol

Yall need to STFU and stop arguing about stupid shit. For real.

Its crazy to me that CNN isnt covering this AT ALL, yet its the headline of Fox News.

They are riots not protests.

This is what I mean. The conversation is already starting to shift away from the issue that started the protests in the first place and is now about the protests/riots themselves.

Saw the same thing happen near here in Baltimore, by the time it was over almost no one was talking about the reason everyone was so mad, just about how awful the rioting was, how the city was all fucked up, and the people who dont want to acknowledge problems with police were more than happy to talk about how savage and thuggish the people in the streets were.

I get how angry this a lot of people, it pisses me off too, but weve seen this movie before, I think its hurting more than its helping.

Double reminder that if they were black, they ALL would've been immediately shot to death or arrested >____>

yep, but we definitely don't live in a white supremacist nation or anything

Look at any list of most racist countries in the world. The US isn't even on the list.

If we literally are a white supremist nation, don't you think we'd at least place top 20?

No looters joined this protest cuz there's no nearby stores

When the story was "Black Man Killed by Police" there was nothing at Fox News. When the story turned to "Black People Rioting", then Fox decided it was worth writing about.

Its almost like they have an agenda or something?

Fair. Fox News has all of the protestors labeled as vigilantes which is just their 21st century term for THUGS

Shouldn't we fear for our lives and start shooting or arresting when people arm themselves to the teeth, storm a building, and threaten to violently overthrow the government?

How exactly is he getting away with it though? Last I checked, city leadership seemed to be working swiftly to get justice in this case. Hes already been fired and he will be tried.

He appears to not be in a small cell, awaiting trial and being unable to afford bail.

Id definitely prefer he was in a cell right now but all indication is that he will be tried and likely convicted. This is a far cry from getting away with it

He should be in jail NOW. Thats the whole point. Why is he free right now? He murdered someone on camera.

That is fucking disgraceful.

Step One: Fire the Chief of Police.
Step Two: Take the Murderer Cop into custody.

Both actions should occur today.

Sad situation but damage to property Looting and potentially harming other innocents is no way to deal with this. As bitter as it is, lawfully and only lawfully (is that obvious enough mods?) going after this heartless bastard is what needs to be done.

The legal process is for a conviction. When someone is a danger, they can be arrested for suspicion of a crime. Happens literally every day. He doesnt need to be prosecuted to be arrested. You know nothing about the law.

Damn I hadn't seen the target burn down on my feed. This is insane.

I was watching the protestors hurl insults at the cops standing guard. One cop was getting it really bad. He was a heavy set guy who had all of the usual fat jokes tossed at him, but brutal and by many different people.

I'm tempted to do some filming tomorrow at the murder cops house. I should say from a very far distance. Don't want to get near anything sketchy.

I live really close to the murder cop and I can just walk over.

@TommyG663513 Tag me if you do. I like first-hand knowledge.
Also sorry for what is happening to your community. But something does need to change.

I think America must see that riots do not develop out of thin air. Certain conditions continue to exist in our society which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nations summers of riots are caused by our nations winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention.

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In this time of pain, suffering, and fear, the public murder of George Floyd was what made the situation too much to bear.

The legal process included a lot more than just getting a conviction. You obviously know nothing about the law if you dont know that not all criminals await trial in jail. Hes being held accountable and therefore not getting away with it. Implying that he is somehow not being held accountable is spreading false information.

Charges should have been pressed already, how is that hard to understand? If I murdered someone on camera this morning you better bet your ass I'd be in a cell this afternoon.

You can be arrested before a conviction, dude. Thats how it works. When the cops arrest someone, they dont have a conviction yet 99% of the time.

You have no idea how the law works. Stop acting like you do

Do you want the protesters to storm the house, burn it down, etc. with potentially women and children inside???

Who knows? Things are being burned down and destroyed, so it's clear emotions are running high.

I don't think it would be responsible to just let the protesters do whatever they wanted to the house and people inside. There's also other people in this neighborhood. They need to consider other people's safety and well being.

His wife is probably a piece of shit as well. And Ya...'think of the children'
You know that the murderer cop is armed, if anyone stormed the house there would be more death.
But having upwards of 40 cops stationed outside a cold-blooded killers house to protect it is absurd.

No shit Sherlock. When the hell did I ever deny any of this? Youre against arguing points no one has made.

The only point Ive made is that the cop will be charged and tried and therefore hes not getting away with it. Hes already fired and reprimanded by public officials. All indication is that he will be held accountable. Let the rest of the process ensue.

But he is being treated differently. Any normal person would have been arrested the SAME DAY the videos came out. Its clear as day that he murdered the guy.

Thats how the process you referred to works.

The point is, and the rage comes from the fact that this 'man' felt so entitled and comfortable executing a man torcher style while being filmed, with witnesses, because he knows 'The System' will protect him. That is what is going on here.

You kept curiously silent when the news story was about the guy murdering someone by laying on his neck and going like shimmy shimmy for 8 minutes and enjoying it. I even tagged you.

now that the rioters are rioting, which is something wrong on their part NOW your come here to clutch your pearls and concern troll/sea lion? Give me a fucking break

i dont respond to tags anymore. The cop is obviously wrong

Ok. Good. Why did the surrounding cops allow this to happen? I know you can't answer for them but you can answer for yourself. In that situation would you have allowed another cop to do what he did?
