I don't know what led to that altercation but the footage I saw the camera crew was being cooperative and asking the police for directions as to where they could set up. Doesn't make sense. Hope the police have bodycams that show something that makes the arrest defensible, otherwise they all need to be reprimanded.

I'd be so pissed if someone set my apartment building on fire in protest over a cop. And looters running around the streets with chainsaws? People are just using this as an excuse to bring out their bad behavior.

Ya, that's quite off the mark - unless that was the cop's home or something.

You don't protest by being random

--Can't comment on post on CNN
--Take a good look at the reporter clearly trying to cooperate
--Who benefits from this?

Just some questions to ask. Personally I think they're trying to incite a race war to keep us divided. I would share some of my honest opinions, but I just got warned so I'm on thin ice.

One more question:
--In the infamous Floyd footage a couple of days ago, have you EVER seen a license plate that reads "POLICE" ?

Is it a crime for me to point these things out and say OBVIOUSLY something is wrong, so who might have benefitted from this?

Racism is disgusting, but some people benefit from it. Those people are not humanity's friends. Follow the money, remove bias, and clear your mind.

This shit really isn't hard to figure out. There is an enemy working against us. That dude was being totally cooperative.

Im not saying RP is right. Not at all.

But I will say there was cringey fakeness to that clip of them getting arrested.

Yes.

Different state agencies and municipalities have differing means of marking their vehicles. Those Minneapolis units probably have a designation number painted on the roof/sides (ex. "Car 54") but the plates all read "Police"

In Massachusetts where I live the State Troopers have numbers corresponding with their plate numbers painted on the roof to help air units identify what cruiser is where

The thing is, outside of the rare cases where they plead guilty, cops are almost always found innocent in cases like this. They've already been fired, that's usually as far as that'll go.

And everybody knows that by now. They need a guilty sentence with appropriate punishment to make people satisfied.

And even if their actions were clearly caught on camera, they still deserve a trail. And that takes time.

I'm not saying this justifies the rampant looting though, because those are just asses taking advantage of the situation.

When normal citizens are suspected of murder, WITHOUT VIDEO EVIDENCE OF IT, they're usually arrested and held in custody.
They don't just chill at home until the judge says "guilty" in court.

And firing means nothing. Fired cops frequently get re-hired or just move to a different precinct and get jobs there.

Still pretty crappy if people lost their belongings to some anarchist or undercover cop burning their apartment down.

There's a history of white cops needlessly murdering black people in this country. And the murder of George Floyd was the last straw for Minneapolis.

So i just had a brief read of what apparently happened, from my understanding a black man had the police called on him for apparently using a fake $20 and a cop knelt of his neck for over 8 minutes while he was screaming he couldnt breath and not resisting arrest then he later died in hospital.

Yes and 3 other officers watched him murder a subdued suspect and did nothing to stop it.

He died at the scene of the murder. The EMTs noted he had no pulse and was unresponsive.
But they didn't officially declare him dead until they could examine him better at a hospital.

No one was living in it yet. It was uncompleted construction for Section 8 housing.

Yeah, they should protested peacefully.
Wait...people have been doing that and the outcome is still the same.

How dare people be frustrated that they can be killed for minor crimes or even just being suspect of crimes or just sleeping in your own home?

expecting the crowds to immediately disperse is ridiculous. Hopefully it calms people down, though.

Also, in googling to see he'd been arrested, I found this tidbit:

Can an extremely intelligent person such as yourself remind me again about how breaking other people's shit is going to change anything?

Nobody is saying people can't be frustrated about the whole thing, they should be. What the more rational people are trying to tell you is that it's not an excuse to commit vandalism and breaking/stealing other people's stuff. Stop defending criminals.

You dont get it. Its ONLY okay when its white people and when they are upset about something. Or if their team wins a sports game. Or if Lane Kiffin isnt your coach anymore.
