Could a civilian have thrown a body block on this cop that murdered George Floyd and saved his life?? Or would there be no way?? I see here where a cop forcibly remove the knee of another cop who had his knee on the neck of a protester in Seattle !!!...........Peace......joe
George Floyd Protests Cop Forcibly Removes Fellow Cop's Knee from Protester's Neck
[Edited on 5/31/2020 by crazyjoe]
The cop that killed George Floyd is a pig. And the others that let it happen need to face whatever legal charges might apply to them.
The people that rioted and assaulted people, vandalized and destroyed property and businesses are thugs. Doesn't matter color or race. Trash and thugs come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
People can protest. People can be pissed. Yell. Make signs. Fair game.
But just like everything in this country, it gets all fvcked up. You have people doing stuff that don't care about racial injustice to either just promote chaos, act out and intentionally be violent or make other people intentionally look bad. You see peaceful protesters facing police and then from somewhere behind them somebody throws a brick. Yeah, the people in front were fine, but what are the police supposed to do? Let the agitators hide behind them and keep throwing shit?
Some BLM people get blamed for stuff they didn't do. Some BLM people cause trouble.
How can you ever tell who is doing what? Some really interesting cell phone video out there showing a lot of ugliness, but it shows reality.
There are good people on both sides. There are good cops and there are bad cops. Not everyone in the US military is a saint either. There are bad apples all over. And there are good people in BLM movement. And there are bad ones. I'll take it further, there are good people who want to defend civil war monuments. There are good people who want to take them down. There are not good white supremacists. There are not good domestic terrorists. There are not good anarchists. There are no good rioters.
Defence Secretary Esper has military units ready to be deployed if Minnesota Governor Walz wants them. They are on 4 hour notice they must remain ready to go if called. Walz has declined the offer at this point. US National Security Advisor, Robert O'Brien said "we're not going to federalize the Guard [National Guard] at this point".
President Trump has declared Antifa a Domestic Terrorist Organization, acting on information received that people from that organization are in these protests creating violence and chaos.
Many journalists are being shot with rubber bullets by police in Minneapolis and elsewhere. The police in Memphis threatened protesters that they may use "lethal force" against them. Tami Sawyer, field Director of Black Voters Matter is the reporting on that.

Remarks: The press is being deliberately suppressed. On whose orders? It is not just in Minnesota. It is nationwide and they are all using the same methods against the protesters. Observe and discern what's really going on here. The cops are shooting at people in broad daylight while bring filmed. They seem to know nothing will happen to them for doing this. Who is providing this blanket brutality assurance?

Kap is a class act
Putting a knee to the turf only offends the ignorant.
He didn't offend me.
Is he supposed to spend 50 years in silence
while the system does a whole lot more nothing?
He used his platform to call attention to an issue
that needed to be genuinely addressed. His knee hurt
nobody.
If the unabated hunting and murder of blacks in
the name of "community policing" had been handled
with more than window-dressing,
George Floyd would still be breathing.
People who are systematically oppressed have a right
to resist. South Africa would still have apartheid if they
all just shut up and sat there.
Are Black people only ok when they entertain you, bigV?
But not when they voice a real issue? Separate and deeply
unequal is ok with you? The cops are always right so who
needs a justice system, that's how you like it?

Kashube Nashimi answered the question why don't we just protest like Martin Luther King Jr. Did ?
"The difference is we didn't burn down the very source of our economic empowerment. If we don't own anything we will continue to be ghettoized and shunned. Instead of destroying we need to make economic decisions that really effect change. Boycotts work, class action lawsuits work. "

John F. Kennedy said "those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable".
Martin Luther King Jr. March 14,1968 said these things
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without at the time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard".
Remarks: People need to be heard. Allowing anarchists to burn your cities and have it blamed on you to keep you down in poverty is not acceptable. There has to be some humanity. The footage in Daniel Newman's feed shows the fear people still have.

I do stand up for everyone's right to their opinion and will continue to do so. It has zero to do with color or political affiliation and has EVERYTHING to do with just disagreeing. Simple disagreement with a belief or view point. What it is about this you don't get?
Yes or No?... Has Colin K spoken out against the violence and looting?...Some "Leader"! If you really can not discern between peaceful protest and criminal behavior, YOU are the problem.

About 500 attended a protest in downtown Youngstown today. After it was over, about 150 stayed. They broke windows at a community college and the United Way Building. The United Way. Yeah, good idea, vandalize them. More responsible protesters among them were able to get the trouble makers to stop.

I edited the post because i called you a nazi sympathizer then thought better of it, why let another thread get turned into your personal proving ground, but apparently this place is your only stimulation these days so congratulations, another BIIIIIIGV ALLCAPS THREAD!!!!!
You still clearly don't get it. Your original post glossed over the root cause of everything because you often sympathize with racists. You also conviniently did not quote yourself when you talked about that thin blue line that to you justifies the pig gang mentality. No one engaged until you decided to express your disapproval of American citizen, Colin Kaepernick exercising his first amendment right.
If you'd been following along you would have had an answer to that last question, extremists and anarchists are the looters and pillagers. Good job dodging all the other questions with more questions though, I think I'll ignore some of your questions.
Keep crapping all over the thread if you want, but you aren't worth my time. As far as I'm concerned every one of your posts is nothing but an old lady fart in a little redneck bubble in the desert. Have fun being a keyboard warrior some of us here actually practice what we preach, when we go out in the world.
No one engaged until you decided to express your disapproval of American citizen, Colin Kaepernick exercising his first amendment right.
Let me see if I can elaborate so even you can grasp the basic concept of what it means to respect the the first amendment, understand what is being said, agree with ones right to say it, all while disagreeing with the point being made.
Never mind.

Sheesh neb, its early I assumed You were there, in rereading I gather maybe You wasn't? Either way, it's early. 2 friends of mine, 1 a Filipino cat, attended a KKK rally in Toledo, 20 yrs ago during their racial unrest, just to actually see. They got there early stood back and watched. They watched and swear that police actions seemingly intentionally stoked the fires and frictions and the police subversively were the real instigators in the riot that ensued? I guess to make both sides look bad?

Seems the majority of problem "protesters" were from out of town.
I wonder if they left their maga hats at home?
I'd love to find that this notion was true. "Outside agitators" - people coming to large cities ... from where? - to contribute to THAT city's problems. White supremacists spurring on and exhorting local crowds? You have no idea how much I want to buy this lock, stock and barrel - but (at least, so far) there's no evidence to support this. Most all of those arrested have local drivers licenses etc.
My own personal distrust of the media comes from an entire different direction that that of Donald Trump. I do feel that certain media outlets have an agenda - some more agreeable and saner than others. I just haven't bought into the idea that people are traveling to other cities just to stir the racial stew pot. Opinion here - that's all. Peace.
I was not there, that was local news reporting.
City councilman who was part of the protest said some of the people that stayed after seemed to just want to cause trouble and didn't appear to be from the area. You hear a lot of that. A Colorado cop was targeted and got run over by a car with Wyoming plates. Car plates can be a tip, but unless you arrest people and get their IDs I don't know how you can really know. In a small protest we had here with the organizers being familiar with most of the active figures, they might get a sense who is who. In a big gathering of thousands who do you know?
The protest organizer at the beginning said they were going to do what they want, but they were going to be peaceful and nondestructive. The few people that vandalized later were different and not part of the organized groups message and effort.
There is so much BS to try and sort through in all of these protests that spiral into riots and destruction and assaults. I think we all have a sense of what is going on. So many people with so many different agendas. How far and deep does it go? How many threats and provactions made online actually get carried out by the people making those threats? All they have to do is flood social media with what they intend (or say they intend to do) then if it happens that is who did it, right? Or not? How many of the people making the treats are actually who they say they are (white nationalists pretending to be antifa...anarchists pretending to be white nationalists, blackbloc pretending to be BLM)? Do the protesters instigate the cops...do the cops instigate the protesters? How much latitude do you give protesters before cops react and restrain? How much latitude do you give the cops in their reaction and restraining?
I am on the side of principled yet peaceful nondestructive protesters. And I am on the side of law enforcement trying to protect life, property and maintain civil control. Everyone else get the F out.
White supremacists spurring on and exhorting local crowds? You have no idea how much I want to buy this lock, stock and barrel - but (at least, so far) there's no evidence to support this. Most all of those arrested have local drivers licenses etc.
Since when does one need to be a "White supremacist" to be a fool? Idiots with no sense of right and wrong or judgement come in all shapes, sizes and colors and vote on both sides of the fence.
Just to illustrate how people look at things differently through the same pair of glasses my feeling is that the individuals who've chosen to be out and who are acting out violently are Democrats who truly hope their actions and the results from will be blamed on the President.

I'd love to find that this notion was true. "Outside agitators" - people coming to large cities ... from where? - to contribute to THAT city's problems.

Some outside groups - particularly white supremacists - plan rallies & counter-rallies to events. The driver James Alex Fields Jr who was convicted of plowing his car into a group of 30 protesters in Charlottesville & killing Heather Heyer was from Ohio. He had driven to Charlottesville for the express purpose of participating in white supremacist actions there.
As to what's going on throughout the country now, the best evidence is what police arrests & hospital injured report regarding out-of-state IDs & license plates. The earliest estimates from Minnesota were that 20% of arrests were of people coming from out-of-state. This may be one of those topics that is only officially reported in hindsight.
Where are the remaining 3 ex-cops? We are 7 days in & only 1 arrest has made - that of Kevin Chauvin. The case was transferred to the MN AG office yesterday because there's a lack of confidence in the local Hennepin County prosecutors. No surprise there.
If Minneapolis is burning, then those 3 ex-cops should be in custody. Without an arrest warrant, they could flee anywhere & they're high risk candidates to do so. The 3 of them make better targets for outrage than a neighborhood Target. They're been shown a lot more mercy that George Floyd was.

The usual bs about outside agitators. Which of course there are some but the actual evidence of this is sorely lacking.
Officials blame 'out-of-state' agitators but those at the heart of protests are homegrown
But it’s not true. The overwhelming majority of people who posted on social media from the precinct fire and those arrested Friday night at the protests in the Twin Cities live in the area, according to USA TODAY's review of police jail records and more than 100,000 tweets.
In an analysis of more than 1,800 Twitter users who posted from within a 3-mile radius of the precinct fire on Thursday, 85% had a history of posting inside the greater Minneapolis area before George Floyd’s death. The data – which represent only a fraction of protesters and could include some people who were not directly involved – indicate most live or work nearby, not out of state.
And
t. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter claimed Saturday morning that "every single person" arrested in his city the night before had been from out of state. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reiterated the idea that the troublemakers were outsiders: His "best estimate," he said, was that "about 80 percent" of the rioters were from elsewhere. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey warned that "white supremacists, members of organized crime, out of state instigators, and possibly even foreign actors" were trying "to destroy and destabilize our city and our region." President Donald Trump didn't agree with Frey's list of culprits—"It's ANTIFA and the Radical Left," he proclaimed—but he grabbed hold of the governor's number, tweeting as a settled fact that "80% of the RIOTERS in Minneapolis last night were from OUT OF STATE."
the end of the day, those figures had fallen apart. KSTP-TV reported that St. Paul had seen 18 civil unrest arrests from Thursday through Saturday morning; just four of the arrestees were clearly from out of state, with two more of uncertain origins. In Minneapolis too, the vast majority of the people arrested were in-state. St. Paul's mayor soon conceded that he had given out bad information, and by Saturday evening KARE-TV was reporting that the governor "declined to repeat" his 80 percent claim. (KARE also pushed back, less conclusively, against Frey's list of villains: "Of those arrested from out of state, only one had a Facebook page [with] clearly identifiable support of white supremacy.")
Now, that still leaves enough gaps in the evidence to keep the outside-agitator story alive if you really like it. After all, you can project pretty much anything you want onto the masked rioters who weren't arrested. Some of those projections may even turn out to be true, or half-true, or related in some familial way to truth.
But mostly they'll be wishful thinking.
Trump fiddles while the U.S. burns.
I honestly believe that reeling in the other 3 - then, upgrading the charge on the original to Murder I might go along way towards quelling the unrest.
Totally agree. Upgrading the charge & transferring Chauvin's prosecution to the MN AG is the 1st step - despite taking 7 dates. Having those 3 at large this long is unsettling. It would demonstrate not that government is just talking, but they're taking the case seriously & acting swiftly to ensure those 3 will not "walk" for their part in the murder.
Out of state is misleading
Granted, I've only been there about 5 times, but are there any out of state suburbs - like in WI, IA, & the Dakotas? I totally get that out-of-city might be included in stats, but if published reports are relying on license plates & DLs, they'd be from another state.
Legit question. NYC's suburbs include NJ & CT & I wouldn't classify them as outside agitators.

The Minneapolis metro area is too far from Iowa and the Dakotas. WI is very close, but the twin cities don't sprawl across the state line except for maybe 2 rural WI counties that are part of the "metro area". But I doubt that affects the stats.
