There is a white supremist group that has gone to these protests just to help create chaos to keep focus off of the real issue at hand and keep the focus on the rioting and looting. America has a racial problem and it doesn't want to deal with it. That is the problem.
I'm watching this 24/7 on all channels. I'm not seeing white supremacists. I'm seeing black people looting,burning,beating people senseless. Now, that doesn't mean all blacks are culpable, nor does it mean blacks agree with rioting, and not everyone involved is black. But the majority are. For the media to come out and outright lie to tell an agenda because they are afraid to call out their own voters for rioting, beating,burning and destroying cities is disgusting. And we shouldn't be a part of that. None of that has to do with Floyd and his murder. None of it. MSM are liars for the most part.



They are still protesting because they want the other officers that were holding him down charged also.
Protesting and rioting are not the same thing. One is peaceful, one is criminal. Call it for what it is. They are hell bent on destruction and they don't care who or what is in their path.



A lawyer representing Floyd's family, Antonio Romanucci, said the three other officers involved are also criminally responsible for Floyd's death. All have been fired, but none of the others have been charged. He called those officers "shameless" and said they had every opportunity to prevent Floyd's death, knowing that restricting his airway could kill him. The family has called for those officers to be charged, and for Chauvin to face first-degree — rather than third-degree — murder charges.
And all of that can be done without burning,looting and beating/killing people. The whole country agree the mans death was wrong, the president said so too. At that point the country was in unity. But the MSM is saying Trump created all this. Like he was responsible for the mans death. smh


I've seen people bring up MLK in different social media platforms. He has said in reference to rioting, " A riot is the language of the unheard." No he didn't condone violence but he understood WHY the people were hurting.

Right and nothing heals the hurt like Nike shoes, a big screen tv and some beer. Have you watched the interviews of people crying because they have lost their businesses they worked their lives for? The black woman who said they've taken it all away? I have no where to shop now. The people that were beaten senseless trying to protect theirs or someone elses business?!! THEY are hurting, not these looters and rioters. They are not doing this in Floyds name. Ask 10 random looters the mans name, bet they don't even know it.

I don’t think the rest of the country would like to see the president deploying military force on American citizens.

I don't think so either. But that's up to the looters and rioters. Force is being used to get what they want.Looting, burning and beating people near to death. I think if people had a choice of calm in the streets vs military force they'd choose calm and peace. Poll taken shows majority of people want this stopped now.

Are you saying everyone in America is anarchistic? I think many people would listen. But like it is now, with a president doing nothing...of no one is calming down.
Did I say everyone in America is anarchistic?! Is everyone in the US looting, rioting,burning and beating? I know I'm not. People are listening and watching and I don't think the MSM realizes that people see what's going on for themselves and they don't believe the lies they are telling.

cnn's chris cuomo last night- " where does it say that protesters are supposed to be polite and peaceful"

so, right here you are- mainstream media siding with and approving of the riots...

I mean, I've heard from more than one Dem in leadership that we're suppose to sit back on our hands and just let this thing go. This is the same as founding the country. This is a just cause according to them. I don't think this country is as blind and stupid as Dems think they are. They see what's going on and they see one has nothing to do with the other. They can re-write the facts all they want to. But we have eyes and ears and can judge for ourselves.

Do you think that the President is acting like a uniting force in this country?
Do you believe anyone is doing anything to unite the country?
I have not seen a single elected official nor any news source that has done anything but push their own agenda.
But this has been the norm for years and I see no hope for any change.
You did not answer my question just attacked the president again.
I stated what I believe.

Do you believe anyone is doing anything to unit the country?

I am in no way saying what happened to George Floyd (knee in neck till death) is okay, or that anyone in that situation was right or wrong (there's ENOUGH conversations floating around here about that).......
but since I don't want to start another thread that will eventually turn right back into this subject, I'll just ask here:
just throwing this thought out there ( I don't use social media, if I did I would take it there......)


WHY WERE POLICE THERE TO BEGIN WITH?
WELL, FOR ONE THING THERE ARE REPORTS THAT HE WAS TRYING TO USE A COUNTERFEIT $20 BILL BEFORE THEY ARRIVED.........

*Sorry, timed out before finished editing that*

I mean, whether he did or didn't, now there are riots ALL OVER "in support of him" affecting towns NO WHERE NEAR Minneapolis. Curfews going in effect in cities that have NEVER had problems like this before.......
And now the store this happened at says they won't make calls on suspected counterfeits in the future because of this.......

I'm not condoning violence or destruction of property but we are in desperate need of police reform here in the us because we have a problem with police brutality and police officers abusing their authority
Just a few suggestions would be

1 better screening when hiring officers to weed out the violent emotionally unstable ones
2. Fire the ones who have already had multiple complaints for unnecessary Force
3. Civilian oversight committee to investigate police misconduct
So they can't say...we investigated ourselves they concluded that we did nothing wrong
4.judges start giving maximum sentences to police officers who break the law
Also hold them in contempt when they waste the Court's time on frivolous charges
5 When a police officer does break the law on camera. He needs to be in custody that same day

I just read that as well, even the store owner doesn’t even think George knew it was counterfeit, the store owner called the police per protocol.

No doubt I’ve gotten fake money from transactions with stores, not every time store clerks will swipe the cash with a marker. they get it then through another exchange of cash it’s gets back into circulation among the public, the fake cash can land into anyone’s pocket who do cash transactions. maybe never use cash unless absolutely needed.

Im still waiting to see more arrest three cops held him down yet only one charged, the black cop and Latino cop need to be charged also, if three citizens held down a person regardless of where the three was positioned all three would be charged.

White supremacy---------------
I know the definition and I know it exist.
In my 76 years I have met a few but very few.
I just do not see it as being a great issue where I have lived and worked the last 50 years.
The media seems to put forth that it is a majority with white people.
Have I just lived in a bubble or is it as wide spresad as they say?

The MSM considers anyone who voted for or supports this president to be utterly racist and a white supremacist.

funny, i see a lot of white supremists with dark skin rioting and looting.

and, the white supremist agitating thing is a TOTAL MEDIA LIE.

this post backs up what i just said- we do not have a race problem, we have a lying media problem.

they take a horrible incidence , where the cop basically murdered a man, and blast it out 24/7 that cops are out hunting and killing black folks .
and that is a lie of course.
meanwhile, dozens of black folks in chicago get shot, and many die, in each month, but it is mainly done by other black folks , so where is the media, where is the outrage?
oh, there is not any, because it does not push any agenda..
I'm watching this 24/7 on all channels. I'm not seeing white supremacists. I'm seeing black people looting,burning,beating people senseless. Now, that doesn't mean all blacks are culpable, nor does it mean blacks agree with rioting, and not everyone involved is black. But the majority are.

Why people on this post defending white supremists is beyond me. Some of you seem to take great joy in bashing black people and putting all of the blame on them. There are white people protesting rioting and looting just like there are black people and other nationalities out there. Stop acting like white people are always right and they do nothing wrong. White people are protesting and looting and rioting just like black people are. There are videos and many photos out there. Both from private citizens and the media. All black people are not bad and all white people are not good law abiding upstanding citizens like some of you like to think. EVERY race has wrongdoers. Every single one.

I’m talking about sources. I’m not claiming anything outside of what the sources are saying. I specifically said so in my post. Your straw man doesn’t apply😜😁🤦‍♀️.

Christians? yeah right now that's laughable.

This is what gets to me. People saying "rioting isn't right but" There is no but. It's criminal. They are not looting in the name of Floyd, his family again today have asked them to stop. They aren't doing it from "hurt" either. Let me share a few pictures with you...





David Dorn, murdered for trying to stop looters from entering his friends store. Retired cop, anyone taking a breath for him?




Woman was beaten by looters using a ladder trying to defend her business. Luckily her husband stopped them before they killed her.



Young man beaten with a skateboard and rocks for trying to defend businesses for looting.




Do not say I don't agree but !! They aren't doing this from hurt, for Floyd or to see change. They are trying to bring down the country, period.



I'm not going to explain my thoughts again. Why people on this post defending white supremists is beyond me.
That is an outright lie!! I wasn't born in America, I was born where the underground railroad ended. I was born where black peoples ran for refuge from Southern Democrat slave owners. I DO NOT support white supremacists !! The MSM are lying through their teeth. And I'm hoping people in this country are smart enough to see it for themselves.




.
Some of you seem to take great joy in bashing black people and putting all of the blame on them.There are white people protesting rioting and looting just like there are black people and other nationalities out there.
Another lie, boy you're on a roll! smh The blame goes to the ones doing the looting and rioting. Stop race baiting. Call a spade a dang shovel.




.
Stop acting like white people are always right and they do nothing wrong. White people are protesting and looting and rioting just like black people are. There are videos and many photos out there.

People are responsible for their own actions. Color has nothing to do with it. As long as you're willing to see color instead of American citizens this will go on. If anyone thinks that this riot will see any change they're fooling themselves. I didn't put a knee on a mans neck and kill him, a cop did. A cop that was known to have issues, who let that pass? Why is no one fingering the higher up that let this hothead cop with 30 plus complaints continue to work? Nah, all white America is responsible because the man happened to be black. The problem in this country is no one is held accountable for their actions. A kid shoots up a school, it's society's fault, it's the gun makers fault, its the NRA. People commit crimes it was the way they were raised, they can't be expected to know better. When does it come down to personal responsibility? I'm not racist, not a drop of racism in my bones,my family isn't racist and none of us contribute to "systemic racism" new buzz word of the left. And I'm not going to be told by anyone that I am racist, or that I need to feel shame for being white or told I have "privilege" especially by white politicans sitting behind gated communities eating 50 flavors of ice cream !!! I'm done!! Americas problem is the same as it always has been, it needs GOD. But if the want it their way, He won't stand in the way.
