Prior to being The Police chief of Minneapolis, in his job for three years, Arradondo sued the department for unfair racial treatment and together with three other officers won 740,000 dollars. Before being police chief he was head of "the Internal Affairs Unit responsible for investigation of allegations of officer misconduct".

Here is what Wikipedia says about him;

If a train was coming, instead of suffering some broken bones, she would not be here today but I'm sure we would not have heard anything about it.

4 Policemen on him for about 8 min is overkill.

Now even those that condemned Floyd’s killing have animosity toward the whole thing. Oh, and those that make their living off the decisiveness (Al Sharpton, Black Lives Matter, etc) have now received another decade in which they can shake down corporations with threats and boycotts if they don’t get what they want and unfortunately the corporations and sports leagues, etc will capitulate which just encourages more. If you give in to a bully you will never stop their demands.

Looting is always Bad. Can negate the strength of a lawful, peaceful protest.

I'm betting he lives in a " Upper Class " neighborhood.

Without a doubt, looting/fires/violence are abhorrent...and strong action should be taken against those criminal acts.

They also, unfortunately and if even done only by a small % of the overall number of protestors, gives an excuse/cover to take away the focus on what should be addressed as the root problem...and is used by some (you know who you are) to basically say "see, we told you so...that's just the way they are."

Maybe, just maybe though, this will be the straw that broke the camel's back...and a lot of good will eventually come out of it.

We barely got finished cleaning up following the Tony Timpa rioting and looting and now this.

Oh, wait...

Again, that is your experience. I am offering a different perspective.

Selective outrage. How about the 48 black men killed by black men the last 2 weeks in Chicago. Do "those black lives matter"? And what about white perps killed by black cops? More white men die at the hands of police than black men even though more black men are armed. Funny I don't recall any white criminal being memorialized and lionized by the media and not by any "White Lives Matter" groups and certainly don't remember any killing, looting, burning or destruction of private property in the aftermath. No, these are strictly responses of Antifa, BLM, the crooked News Media and leftists.

See, now that just sounds racist. Black folks can't live in nice neighborhoods.

Here you have an admitted career criminal, thug, bully, worthless parasite on society in general, was honored with basically a state funeral, complete with a horse drawn carriage . Followed by adoring followers.

Those who spoke glowing words you are absolutely no better than G. Floyd.

And for those who continue to , Mock, Ridicule, Injure , and yes Kill Our Law Enforcement Officers shame on you. You have no conscience.

Compare that with Officer David Dorn ( Retired) defending his life long friend property.

Officer David Dorn, God Bless You, May You Rest In Peace.

They put angel wings and a halo on his picture? Really don’t think he went up.

That is murder at the hands of a corrupt, criminal cop who had many many complaints brought against him. But you want to talk about George Floyd's criminal record only... How interesting. I can appreciate you thought it was over the top and dramatic but this death was the straw that broke the camels back in this country and we may finally see some real change. Just another opinion.

He left Texas cause he had two strikes, one more life in prison. My hero? No

Well, he was committing crime? Just saying.
