All of which could have been avoided.  Guess how.

Tell that to the innocent people who just lost their livelyhood to a bunch of criminals parading for "justice".

And when more people die - you'll blame the cops - not the roving bands of opportunistic thieves...

I blame ONE cop for ONE death in this situation. If that cop had been arrested, there’s a fair chance that things would never have gotten to this point. I’m not blaming the cops for the riots and the looting and the vandalism.

I am, however, blaming cops for arresting a news crew on the scene.

Edit: And when lives are lost, they’re more likely to be looters than innocent bystanders. For that, I’m likely to blame Trump and his idiotic, incendiary tweet ‘when the looting starts, the shooting starts’.

Minnesota violence: Clashes over death of black man in police custody

The despicable police brutality of the arresting officers in the states of this man which's in the press. Why is the race of the participants the OVERWHELMING primary issue, according to the press, and not considered to be necessarily IRRELEVANT in the name of colourblindness, equality, unity and harmony? Is there in fact ANY evidence the arresting officers are racist, and not just power tripping thugged out c*nts? I'm yet to see it, if so. BTW - if there is to be a race war; I will be a conscientious objector - that's the easiest decision I've ever had to make. Over to you, Morgan.

Mr. Freeman’s comments notwithstanding, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to identify race in a story about racism. It’s immaterial at this point whether the racism is real or perceived.

It would be lovely if everyone could be colourblind in the interest of racial harmony, but we’re not there yet. And we won’t be as long as white cops keep murdering black people with impunity.

I agree.

In a perfect world all of us would see the individual first, and in many cases we do. But we don't live in a perfect world, and while "race" is an arbitrary concept, "racism" is unfortunately a very real problem.

"We are all the same species" is the ultimate truth. But we also cannot avoid that humans unfortunately do divide on racial issues.

Not just white cops, but white people in general. It isn't enough for me to hear a white person say, "I am not racist". If anyone starts their argument off with that in discussing stories like Floyd or Bland or Garner, they completely ignore a  long term history that allows things like this to repeat.

Race has to be discussed.

Ahem. Does anybody have any actual evidence that the arresting officers are racist?

Wasn't the principle photographed wearing a "Make America White Again" hat? or am I on the wrong incident?

I read the deceased and the kneeling ex officer used to work security at the same night club, so knew each-other, presumably. Maybe they had some long standing beef which had NOTHING to do with race and which resulted in the officer's OTT, ill advised and ultimately lethal actions...

That photo was a fake, dude, and it was a Make Whites Great Again hat.

AP reports the photo was total fabrication.

Why the riots?

Because thats what cunts do.


In 2003 police were chasing a black guy on a motorcycle in Benton Harbir Michigan  - who was speeding - running multiple stop signs - riding through people's yards - and finally he lost control and crashed into a building and killed himself.  At no point did the cops have contact with him or his motorcycle.

This was followed by three days of rioting - including shooting at the cops.


You explain it.

I can't.
