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

One state you won’t see a lot of looting and burning down business is Texas, people no better in that state, that is the only state you have the right to protect property even using deadly force.

when people know someone else will open fire when a person breaks into their home or business, that pretty much makes the violators think twice before breaking into someone else’s property.

Protecting your house or livelihood isn’t cowboy style antics. breaking into a house or business is the cowboy antics you got it twisted.

riots are getting sicker and sicker, people automatically think they have a right to burn down a building or loot from it regardless who owns it.

It is my understanding this police officer had many complaints of misconduct.

So the problems are systemic.

They've tried peaceful protests and they've tried boycotting and still police officers continue to murder citizens with impunity
Remember when the LAPD dang near beat Rodney King to death and got away with it
there was a senator who said that judge just lit the fuse to a bomb
I'm not saying I condone the violence but what did they think was going to happen when the cops murder someone on camera in broad daylight and no arrest has been made
You can only push a group of people so far before they push back

I heard that they looted a police station, burned it down and walked away. No arrests? Doesn't make sense. Bunch of hoodlums. Protesting is one thing, rioting, looting, vandalising, and burning property that does not belong to you has nothing whatsoever to do with the incident, probably murder, of an innocent man by a police officer. No excuse for what is happening.

according to percentages this happens very rarely and i believe the corona virus situation has fueled most of the hostility.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, there is a systematic problem here. It looks like those review boards members and supervisors should be held liable at least in negligence anyway. There needs to be some type of accountability or things like this will continue to happen.

I agree we should protest police brutality. They should be held accountable for their actions. Rioting is not the answer, though. Innocent people are suffering because of rioting. It is not solving any problems.

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.

How can "a lot of police brutality" be allowed to continue? Not just in America, but in any part of the world.

You make it seem normal and acceptable. Do you teach your children that its OK for the police to brutalize people?

And I ask again: why do you and your neighbours allow it to happen?

Perhaps here is the REASON WHY, and it is the Police Department's DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS, job to Police itself, . . . after a complaint if filed. But this generation, is into INSTANT GRATIFICATION, and do not believe in GOD's Way. Perhaps that is part of the GREAT FALLING AWAY, that comes in the End Times. Just so you know, I am of the OLD SCHOOL, as I am 71 years old. In this post, you will see that the ROMAN POLICE FORCE IS MENTIONED, and they were far more brutal than modern day Police Forces:

Romans 13:1-10 (HCSB)
1 Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God.
2 So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval.
4 For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.
5 Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience.
6 And for this reason you pay taxes, since the ⌊authorities⌋ are God’s public servants, continually attending to these tasks.
7 Pay your obligations to everyone: taxes to those you owe taxes, tolls to those you owe tolls, respect to those you owe respect, and honor to those you owe honor.
8 Do not owe anyone anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 The commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not covet; and whatever other commandment—all are summed up by this: Love your neighbor as yourself.
10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.

You seem to advocate revenge is the right way to go?
That is anarchy, to take revenge on the wrongs you perceive in society.
What does GOD THINK of REVENGE?

Leviticus 19:18 (HCSB)
18 Do not take revenge or bear a grudge against members of your community, but love your neighbor as yourself; I am Yahweh.

Deuteronomy 32:35-36 (HCSB)
35 Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay. In time their foot will slip, for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
36 The LORD will indeed vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that ⌊their⌋ strength is gone and no one is left—slave or free.

ALL Anarchy does is to remove GOD's obligation to repay the WRONG. You need to be patient, and GOD WILL repay the WRONG, in HIS TIME.

People think it’s a race issue it isn’t, it happens to anyone who comes in contact with a aggressive cop who shouldn’t be on a police force.
