Riots in Minneapolis

[HoneyDew]

That was a direct quote from dr. King that you just took entirely out of context

I have know idea what you are talking about. I know you think that you have called me out on something but I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. I have seen several people on "social media"" reference doctor king to peoples actions of today.

You did not answer my question. Why do you and the 99.9 white people in your neighborhood allow the white police officers to brutalize you the residents? And what will you teach your children about police brutality?

I did not say you should riot. I asked why you allow it to happen.

I didn't say you said we should riot. I think I answered you too, though. But hey, I'll give it another shot... we should protest it and get the info out there but not riot and cause suffering to innocent people and our own neighborhood. Rioting wouldn't solve any problems for us. On the other hand, protesting, lawsuits against police department, etc. would be a better way to go about trying to solve these problems.

You do know it happens to white people too don’t you, do think black people are the only ones who get brutalize by police?

Where did I make the point that police only do wrong to black people?

Anyway let me ask you the same question. The other person said that white officers brutalize residents in his white neighborhood many times. But no one cares. And my question to you and him is why is this allowed to happen?

Also what do you teach your children?

 

[bojack]

And if you don't, they'll stop your breath?

May these two tragedies be a lesson to other officers: When someone says they can't breathe, don't ignore them.

Have you ever been stopped or arrested Kim ?

 

[bojack]

What's the flavor of those boots you're looking right now?
He was already handcuffed and had stopped resisting. He was begging the officer saying please I can't breathe
I don't care how you try to justify it, this was murder

Go watch about an hour of clips from the tv show ''Cops'' and get a taste of what they do every day .. You could not do better, maybe the same .. I've been stopped plenty of times and I learned early how to act .. Bad situation and they have charged the cop, now what ? Fire all law enforcement or let every suspected criminal go ?

I don’t know what your saying about what does the 99.9 white people in a neighborhood do, just bringing into the conversation race I can read your motive and you opinion on the matter..

what does white people do, the same thing the 99.9% black people do in a neighborhood, what does that got to do with the price of eggs

 

[JamOn]

Hmm four cops, two white, one Asian, the last cop not sure if he is white or maybe Jewish or what maybe white/black, but clearly white was not the only race involved yet. the only race I hear is white cop what about the Asian cop is he off the hook because he didn’t have his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck. I see it smell it and it stinks.

IRONICALLY, ANARCHISTS have essentially declared that PHASED and TEMPERED 'CV19 GET BACK to WORK ORDERS' and Social Distancing regulations are BUNK...
or
By violating CV19 Regulations the ANARCHISTS are essentially HEARTLESSLY and RECKLESSLY placing all the lives and livelihood across our Country at further RISKS.
Nothing good will ever come from this sort of action. Their actions will only result in additional 2nd and 3rd order Stresses adding to the already stressful lives of so many innocent people across our country.
They burned Post Offices! Think of all the law abiding hard working people that will suffer as a result... not get their paycheck, or their bill payments will not be paid, or passports or certified mail, gifts etc that have been thoughtlessly destroyed…

Anyway, I'm sure that we all agree that rioting and looting is wrong, and must not at all take place.

I hope that the rioters will indeed come to their senses. Because all this isn't helping. Not at all. It has and will make everything worst.

But in condemning the riots, let us not lose focus on the issue of police brutality.

Even if someone is in the wrong, every effort should be taken to preserve the offender's life. Let them stand before the judge, let them serve their time. Who can say whether they won't change their life around to becoming law abiding?

and I hope you look at the people involved and stop looking at skin color as a issue on everything, Because above means nothing when you pull the race card on a issue with multiple races involved. yea ask the same question that is what you’ll get from me. I didn’t like that at all 99.9%

Whether you agree with the rioting or not, choosing to focus just on that and not the actual root of what is causing the riots is deflection. Again you can disagree with people burning buildings but lets not forget WHY people are reacting this way.

Everyone should agree what has gone on in the past 3 nights is wrong, utterly wrong. And the worst thing is they are tearing apart the place where they live. That being said there are people there mingled in that have an agenda. Look up "inhabit global" which I saw on one of the signs. What's going now has nothing to do with Floyd. This is an attempted take down of the gov't.

 

[PennEd]

I believe the murdered man was a brother in Christ. I do not allow other people, other than his family and friends, the right to be more outraged over his murder than me.

He was a human being treated inhumanely. We better join together as Christians, because I swear to you, this is demonic, and they are coming after us Christians. Black, white, yellow, brown and red.

We must love each other. We are ONE Blood and One Body in Jesus.

This is really ridiculous. Where have you seen and heard that the others involved are off the hook?

Anyway, I hereby take my leave from this thread as well. It's pointless.

Please continue. Don't mind me.

 

[tourist]

we can not judge him on hear say....

It appears that this police officer's conduct led to the man's death. At the very least it is manslaughter. For sure it was a criminal act.

I didn’t but I know the Asian guy never crossed your mind only white

Proverbs 28:2
every time I ask Him, He gives me this proverb.
Obviously this is not happening in US. a nation that grow up rebellious, seem to have it engrained in them to rebel and nothing, and nobody, not even the Police can do anything about it.

 

[kaylagrl]

I can't condone violence and destruction of property but I can sympathize with their anger
Dr. Martin Luther King said rioting is the voice of an unheard people

No, this has nothing to do with anger over a mans death. You don't rip apart local stores, loot and burn down buildings because you are upset over someones death. This is about an agenda. It started as a protect, now it's being used to take down the gov't.

They are acting out what is in their hearts. The actual root cause seems to be the inclination to do evil.

I totally believe some didn’t even care about it, like you said a agenda some to protest some to flat out destroy and loot no doubt, it happened in LA I remember all the smiles and joy in those videos of people looting, it was so bad some looked like it was just a normal day got a shopping cart and shopping like no big deal.

I think it’s flat out disgraceful to loot over someone’s death

 

[tourist]

oh, don't worry, the mayor of minneapolis asked the protesters to please wear a mask and social distance while " protesting".

that should fix everything!!

The governor of Michigan did that exact same thing in response to protest of the excessive restrictions that are destroying families.
