Was there riots over this

Yeah, this is not about racism. This type of thing happens to all races. These cops need to be held accountable no matter what color the person they assault are.

Like I said before, these type of things happen frequently in predominantly white neighborhoods as well. But you wont here much about it because no one seems to care when a white person is murdered or beat by cops. The law enforcement systems needs an overhaul. These riots are not helping matters. They are going after innocent people who have nothing to do with any of this injustice.

So you think this is about this one case only? This is part of an everlasting story of structural racism in this country. Feel free to stay oblivious of it, but then you’re part of the problem.
I’m the problem, you got a lot nerve excusing me of racism,

People really do need to quit making this about racism. This is just adding fuel to the fire. Now we hear that these riots could ultimately be part of terrorism groups intent on destroying the US. Last night they burnt a church near the white house that had been there since the 1800s. This has gone way too far and needs stopped.

If this is terrorism then it needs to be dealt with as such. Send out the army and let them handle it because they are trained in this area to deal with these type of things.

Seems to be working in Minneapolis. I watched last night as the National Guard handled the situation. They got it contained using military techniques and no one was hurt. Once again they are trained to deal with these situations.

You’re still insisting on displaying your ignorance on this matter?

The rhetorical technique you’re using is quite recognizable. Distinguish the case and completely isolate it from the chain of events that lead to it. Job well done...
Chain of events, dirty cops no matter the color have been showing abuse towards people no matter the color, if you think black cops don’t abuse white people or black cops abuse another black people. You avoid stories of same color abusing each other.

it is you that is following the media and the people that push it as races. it was a dirty cop period, that cop was married to another race yet the cop was racist, your are the blind leading blind.

where was your voice when this happen, you don’t have one cause you have agenda racism,

racism does happen but it’s not the main stream problem in America, only the people who want to be say it is. 60% of all victimization happens by the same race of any race, black on black or white on white it don’t matter people fight each other not their skin color these days.

The officer has been charged as he should have been. Looting big screen tvs didn't cause him to be charged. It's nonsense. 191 people dead in Chicago as of this date, mostly male and black. Where's the outrage?! Where's the looting and burning down buildings in their names? Kapernick didn't take a knee for them did he? smh
False equivalency

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here, but I suppose you’re saying I’ve got a lot of nerve accusing you of racism.

I haven’t accused you of anything. Don’t try to play that game with me.

If you want to stay in denial of racism, so be it.

You just don’t get it, do you?

First of all, that no good what-about-ism of yours...just save it. I don’t have to act in accordance with your silly mind games. I don’t have to comment on every piece of mud you’re slinging at me to muddy the water. How stupid do you think I am?

Yes, we have dirty cops, and, FYI, we got racism here. You can keep denying it from dusk till dawn, but it will still be here.

What’s so dangerous about admitting it?

C’mon, enlighten me.

I apologize you were not saying I was racist I took it that the wrong way.

but you where saying I’m the problem because i am not seeing racism in my neighborhood at the store among the people. maybe not I live in a city that has cargo ships trains airports military its a international hub of different ethical groups,

every known race on the planet lives within a 20 miles radius in my town all my life, maybe I am blind to it or maybe I’m questioning is there racism in the general population as a whole.

I don’t see it where I live but since there are groups who push racism then they are somewhere so people will have experience with that no doubt.

I know racism is real, but i don’t think it’s on some kind of grand scale like it’s a major issues in America. yea there are groups of idiot people that have crazy ideology.

Yes there is racism and Hispanics are far more likely to experience racism than a black or white person from other races in America, Asian people are up there too. I wonder how the American natives feel about all this racism stuff

And how does this contradict what I said? I know this. Being a Cajun I have experienced a lot of racism myself.

Does her comparison need to be perfectly equivalent to carry her point about injustice?
People all over the world murder each other every day and life goes on
This is about a police officers who we are supposed to trust not to kill us for no reason

then that is the answer when you see one race on top of another race your mind screams racism. is that the way in every time you see two different races together rather it’s bad or good? or only when it’s bad.

Answer me this do you think the officer killed Mr. Floyd out of racism.

I think it’s extremely strange that you keep denying that racism is a big part of society.

Because of TV and media groups the news that tell me it is so? and those are small in numbers compared to 360 million people, you will not find a lot of racism in my town sorry maybe you should move to a more melting pot type of community.
