George Floyd who died from drug overdose was from Texas

OK... I think we have two threads dedicated to this one, murder by cop???

[Grayling813]

Horrible, just horrible. Protests should erupt all across the country over this....including people of all races.

Interesting, people ( many are saying they are former law enforcement) who are discussing this on Reddit are saying the other three officers are just as guilty of murder as the man with the knee.

They are using the same argument as the Ahmaud Aubrey murder, the getaway driver is just as responsible.

I imagine that is why they were all fired.

At this point the only argument / question should be whether or not this is involuntary manslaughter or homicide. That or you’re blind and/or ignorant. Watch the video, zoom in on the man dying, calling for his mother pleading for his life and then go limp, while the nazi remains on his neck. No excuse for those actions. 4 of them on the scene and the best to offer is to choke the man to death? That’s the good police work? Thuggery is what that is and my friends on the blue line side I’ve asked are all appalled at this.

It looks like this is turning into another Rodney King. Protests are definitely justified for the events that unfolded. Looting and rioting, not so much.

I think of looting/rioting like road rage. The reason its so infuriating when someone cuts someone else off is because there is no recourse but to get angry. Of course you can just let it go, as cooler heads prevail, but I think the anger just mounts and mounts and mounts. In a situation like this, whats the recourse for a community, for a people? Protest. When protest fails or doesnt go your way, ie police in riot gear shooting and throwing grenades at you, surely anger increases and historically, the next step is violent protest in the form of rioting/looting.

I feel bad for the stores, esp any mom and pops, but the corporate chains have insurance, they will recover. The people being killed will never be brought back to life. If protest leads to looting and rioting, I really dont have a problem with it because I think its the only recourse. Think about it, its why a lot of us believe in 2A, to make sure we can stand up against tyranny. Now, I did read a protester was found shot/killed on the sidewalk....thats certainly not the violence I agree with.

The rioting and looting is wrong! Every bit as wrong as what they are rioting about.

Peaceful protesting is one thing. This has turned into fun time for thugs.

although I dont have a problem with it, meaning I neither support it or disagree with it to a measurable extent, I do say it is at your own risk...

Sad day with rioting and looting in Minneapolis.

https://news.yahoo.com/no-restraint-vio ... 21405.html

Videos of a Target being looted of TV’s, wheel chair bound woman being assaulted.

Then there were the photographs posted on Facebook.

[striker55]

So in protest looting stores to make people feel better. I don't get it, yes police are responsible but stealing TV's doesn't make any sense.

The people peacefully protesting probably are truely angered by what happened. The ones looting could care less. They don't care that he's dead. Do you think the looters are crying amd sobbing while they loot and pillage? I doubt they have a flat screen in one hand and a tissue in the other wiping their eyes. The looters and rioters should be shot on sight.

Some people are opportunists. They will take advantage of a situation like this for their personal gain. " Let no disaster go to waste."

I did notice in the videos of the looting that almost all were wearing Covid-19 masks.
