Nothing says justice like looting!

Well, wonder what this police officer would think if this was his son on the ground & this video was all over the news. Or if it was our sons! Didn’t see one arrest in the video of the looters in Target store.

I believe that the police will be arrested. What is sad is that the looters will not be. Those people setting fire to businesses and stealing from stores had nothing to do with what happened. They simply see it as an opportunity to steal.

What? These morons will use any excuse that they can to riot and loot. Do you really think any of them care about what happened to Mr. Flyod? Not a chance, this is just an excuse to go and act like animals. In my opinion, looters should be shot on the spot. Knowing that won't happen, the police should minimally bring in water cannons and hose these rabid individuals off before arresting them. If they had half a brain they would realize that this ruthless behavior hurts their alleged cause, but I doubt they even know what that is.

I know that the police are there to protect us .... and they are under a lot of pressure ... but this kind of behavior smacks of just plain sadistic cruelty .... and our society needs to address it.

Clearly these police have failed to be reminded of their position in society.

Save it Mike! Ever been white in the slums of Camden NJ? Ever been white in the slums of San Diego CA? I have, both places Please, there is nothing regarding racism and hate you could ever teach me. I have the mental scars and the broken bones to prove it!
Ever looked down the barrel of another mans gun? Been there as well.

Looting going on.
 

Not the right choice but.....live in their shoes and feel their anger. 2 wrongs do not make a right but we as white have never had to deal with this either. Just trying to show some Grace here.

We actually do know what happened before the video. I saw a copy of a video from the security camera for one of the stores. He did not resist in any way!

More Video? A cop clearly and purposefully has every ounce of his weight on the neck of a subdued handcuffed "suspect" for between 6-8 minutes while the man pleads for his life saying please officer I give up, I can't breath, you're killing me all the while bystanders are yelling stop you're killing him, his nose is starting to bleed, he's losing consciousness but we need more video? The only surprise here is that he lasted as long as he did as anyone with even a tiny bit of knowledge in human anatomy or martial arts knows you can NOT block the carotid artery for more than a minute or two without inflicting serious damage to a human being.. That Cop charged, arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced, and executed a black man while 4 other Cops stood guard and watched and IMO not one bit of additional video will change that fact. At least the cops will get their day in Court. That would NEVER happen to a white man in any upscale neighborhood..

We don’t lock up people until they have been convicted?????????????
What universe are you living in?

It's all they know how to do. No one wants to let justice have its day. Just an excuse to riot and loot. If the roles were opposite, would you see white people burning and looting.. It was wrong but let the system work.

I back the Police, BUT not in this case! That cop murdered that guy and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Kneeling on the guys neck and the man saying I can't breath is murder.

Unfortunetly we live in an era of simple hate which is stirred each and every day.

Incidents such as this; well armed men marching against any closings; retail stores refusing service to those who dare wear a mask; threats of violence in November; retaliation actions if you do not walk in lock step; threats against our free press; etc., etc.

It will get worse and a country once proud of being a melting pot descends below the rest of the world. Yet, we join in stirring that hatred each day.

I keep thinking of the saying "be careful, you may get what you wish for". Hate and discord, which will always exist, is now considered a "strategy" to be stirred every day.

The video shows him being put on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance where he died on the way to the hospital only minutes after having between 160 and 200 pounds of weight directly on his right carotid artery.. Every police officer I've seen interviewed so far has said that is NOT the way they've been trained to subdue a already cuffed and subdued suspect especially with that much force and for that long a period of time..
