Too many rats in the cage, too many fish in the pond. It'll work itself out someday when we either destroy everyone or at least draw down the numbers.
We're just animals like everything else but unlike the other animals, our only enemy is ourselves and we're breeding uncontrolled like rabbits in a cabbage patch.
This Earth we all live on needs an enema.

Yes I have been in battle and no, I don't consider myself lucky at all for seeing and doing what I did. Where are you at now that you are witnessing war? If you think that what we are experiencing right now is even remotely like war, it's pretty clear you have never been on the battlefield.

Perhaps the media and every politician need to stop the constant drip of thanking first responders for everything from getting coffee to cleaning a washroom. First responders actually think they are special. They are not, they accepted the job.

The statistics bare out that policing in general is not a high risk job. It is time to change the culture. The quickest way to change a culture is to change the people.

Thank you!

Well then what is the solution to prevent events like this from happening again? None of the videos show George resisting arrest. The other 3 cops didn't try to stop the 4th.

I'm not the medical examiner nor was I there. It will take many iota's for me to make an informed decision. Maybe I never will due to lack of info. Seems everyone is a DA here. lol

Wow!!! I'm almost at a loss for words.. POSSIBLY an ex-con, POSSIBLY on drugs, maybe even crack with superhuman strength? I was an EMT and picked up many drug overdoses and yeah they can be crazy and extra strong but once FOUR of us had them cuffed and restrained we were not allowed to torture and kill them.. In America that's you know, kinda bad..

Anyway, with regard to the current horrible murder that just happened on video I hope they throw that cop in jail for the rest of his life and he may find out what it’s like to have someone else throw a power trip on him.

It was most definitely not disrespecting the flag and what happened in Minneapolis shows why attention-getting protests like Kaepernick's are necessary.

I watched a different channel I guess, on it they said store owner called due to FAKE $20, but regardless, of course to DIE for ISF or pas sing fake currency, to DIE for that, beyond words ! For some reason, it was not only the act of just publicly executing someone, with NO TRAIL, and (probably even in front of all ages, even CHILDREN !), it's just one of those things we all have probably told ourselves could not happen ! So many examples, way back to Rodney King, and also right here in Florida I was trying to think of how many mentally ill people could have been tasered or some how tranquilized are instead, just shot, easier ? Or, is it the extreme fear factor officers experience ? Do they think, "IF I take a few seconds more, will I be the one who dies ?" It is all such a terrible situation, and no time to "deliberate", but this seems like the death of the man they police were just "fed up with" who was always trying to see single cigarettes to the street people who could not afford to buy a whole pack at a time. Now we add in this virus ! Will all begin acting like animals ? People now almost beaten seriously for what ... NOT wearing a mask... which our government "experts" are now, for the THIRD time, telling us complete opposites (thanks Dr. Fauci !), now we learn they are just a "symbol", not actually helpful, what if the woman in the Walmart had been killed (she had children too), what have we all come to ???

YEP!


Not to even mention, the number of folks posting that further reinforces why peaceful protests like Kaepernick's (and others)...are STILL so desperately needed.

I’m not in a war zone at present, but have been in the past. The call for mother with dying breath is a human last cry to the one who helped you when you were helpless. May you and I never have to experience it.

Heed those words, "peaceful protests", not rioting and looting. Think about it now....don't you think the police are on edge right now? Do the riots and lootings make it any better. If the prejudice is so rampant this would be a perfect time.......
Now even if the police do protect themselves it will be decried as prejudice.

If I'm wrong I'll admit it. If you are will you?
Sorry but good, bad or indifferent, what happened took seconds. Now that all you folks have had a few days to figure out what happened in your minds from watching a few minutes of video on your couches with no background on anything or anyone, I'm confident that you'll all come to the proper conclusion. Hey, why even bring it to court right? I mean you're all correct like you say you all are lets just hang em high.
Let's not because "In America that's you know, kinda bad.."

What was your AFSC or MOS?
Still, no questions answered.

These photos of trashed stores and burning buildings are just a distraction from your racism. Gosh my back is sore from patting myself on the back.

[Mustagotlost]

I don’t understand why the police need to be forceful. Hell a taser would have rendered him in able to fight back.


This is a sad sad day.
