Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

"There's a lot of hard working white, black, asian, latino, whatever people that have been seeing shit go the wrong way for a long time."


Pretty much covers everybody, what's the protest about?

At the end of the day, former officer Derek Chauvin knelt on a man?s neck with 2, TWO, other officers holding him down, after he was cuffed, while he was pleading for air. NEVER did we do anything like that in Iraq when we *could* get away with murder, and frankly, some did.



I think hearts and minds are largely bullshit. Mess with the bull and you get the horns. But this inexcusable shit has got to stop if cops wanna live to see their families after each shift. It?s asshats like Derek Chauvin that cause MY friends, neighbors, and those I don?t know but have sworn to protect (and NOT violate basic human decency) to be in the potential crosshairs of the mob?s ire.

He was subdued. He had no weapon. What?s the worst that happens? They chase a handcuffed man and hit him with a taser?

The City of Minneapolis brought this on itself. Let it burn. They trusted his dumb ass to represent it, they can deal with the consequences.

Pretty much. I've got sympathy for all the property and business owners who are victims, but when I saw the cops ramming their own gate down to escape their station I can't say I was upset. If your department's culture is fucked enough that nobody is knocking you off the guy, this shit will happen.

Easy on acting rabid, it's a discussion not the last morsel of food.

I'd say it's about a guy getting murdered by a police officer while his colleagues watched.

I responded to a poster who was surprised that so many white people were joining in, and got a post in return about how people just need to work harder and it'll be ok, to which I responded that a lot of people are working their asses off and are still needing to protest this shit.

Protest or tear shit up?

I haven't seen much protest.

Funny, a lot of people seemed to find a lot of protest before the tear gas started in Denver at least.

We basically started by throwing the product of the era into the Boston harbor. The only change in the optic’s prescription is time.

The people of Minneapolis are acting out, perhaps with an improper target, but acting out nonetheless. And on the tail end of their lives being further disrupted and unnecessarily exacerbated in frustration by the social shutdown over a cold.

Derek Chauvin picked basically the worst time to smugly pinch off a man’s carotid.

The new video showing 3 officers on top of him looks even worse than the original. He had officers kneeling on his neck...and his torso. The officer kneeling on his kneck stayed there for 2 minutes and 37 seconds after he stopped breathing. I also heard today that the EMTs couldn't find any pulse when they picked up George Floyd.

Charging 1 officer involved isn't enough.

The Black community in MN is calling out white Antifa members for starting the riots and destroying their communities. I keep telling y’all these white liberals are not our friends. #Democrats #GeorgeFloyd #minneapolis

Pulse was absent before EMT arrival.
