The Minneapolis Police Choke an Unarmed Handcuffed Black Man to Death

what's your solution?
To start?
Independent prosecutors for police misconduct, unsealed police misconduct and discipline reports, civilian oversight boards, community policing strategies, mandatory retraining on deescalation and implicit bias. There are groups lobbying for these reforms nation wide. Happy to help you find one in your town.
Day 7?
No call from black leaders to end the violence?
Shouldnt protestors have demands? That was a big part of Caperdicks problem too. If you are going to have disruptive protest, atleast have an idea of what you are looking for. Not just a generic demand for 'change'

while that's all fine and dandy for the issues with policing around the country, what's your solution to stop people rioting and looting and killing and beating innocent people and business owners?
I'm white, and most of my neighbors are hispanic and a few whites and blacks mixed in as well as asian. It's a very small neighborhood. We all get along great and watch each others backs. San Antonio as a whole, is probably 90% hispanic, so the major rioting and looting isn't going on here as far as I know.
The irony of simultaneously criticizing violent protests and peaceful protests.
Don't protest like that! No, not like that either! Stop killing unarmed black men? Sorry, I'm confused, what is your demand?
All of the usual things that happen when. Individuals commit criminal acts. I'm not saying give anyone a free pass, I'm saying let's not forget that 1) the protests are overwhelmingly non-violent, and 2) there is a reason those protests are happening.

If you don't want people to lose focus on what you are protesting then don't start burning cities down.
if you think the biggest problem facing the black community is from the police you aren't going to solve anything.

I know every one of us in here would agree on this point, we're all up in arms because they've completely gotten away from the main reason.
You can't tell me crushing a store owners head with a rock and killing him is along the lines of completely acceptable now and none of us should be lashing out against the pieces of shit causing such community harm.
There have been tens of thousands marching peacefully in CHI every day, but all you see on the news is the 100 or so shit heads who stay out all night agitating and taking advantage of the situation. To say nothing of all the videos of protestors trying to stop agitators from vandalism.
And no one is saying this is the only or the biggest problem. But it's the most visible right now, and let's face it. It's a bad problem.
Haha protests are overwhelmingly non violent, well except after 8:00... cliff notes on this thread for you- protests are ok and good to bring to light a problem. Beating people, burning, etc... is bad. I am sorry but people like you are part of the problem.
See, there ya go. You are lumping everyone together. Millions of peaceful protestors with a greievence that is by your own admission legitimate, but you tar them all with the feather of a few agitators to defend a thread where some people seemed more than a bit too excited to "lock and load" and violently react to the protests.
It is hard for me to fathom people like you exist. Completely brainwashed to believe police are the enemy.
Not just that but you actually believe police killing one man justifies destroying dozens of cities and seeing countless peoples lives destroyed at the hands of these protestors. How can you be so callous and cold hearted to belittle the suffering of those at the hands of these protestors?
I guess proper use of force only matters when it is police against civilians. Doesn't matter if citizens go crazy and try to murder several cops. Doesn't matter when multiple people of color attack a person for simply being white (hate crime btw). It is all justified because George Floyd was killed by police. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Yea. Millions of people out all day. A handful out at night. Do I need to explain numbers to you?
At what point did I ever try to say the rioting or looting was justified? I'll wait.
I literally just said I agree with the peaceful protesting.
I do not agree with the other half who have an alternative motive, which is being well documented through every media outlet.
And I'm not defending or condoning the thoughts or actions of anyone in this thread, I just think that you're like many people who don't see anything wrong with what's going on THAT ISN'T PEACEFUL.
I like how all these people are pretending COVID-19 is over. Over 100k Americans lost their lives to COVID-19, is this protest worth spreading a virus this deadly?
Do you actually think the people who are rioting and looting give a shit about George Floyd? My moneys on most don’t even know who he is or could point him out in a lineup. There are 4 sets of protesters from what i can see. There are the peaceful protesters who are looking for change. Those are supported by most everyone and that includes many on this site. There are BLM. I support there protest as long as it’s peaceful which from what i have seen, it is. There is antifa who need to be crucified and then there are a mix of people who are just looting and rioting for the **** of it. They should be napalmed.
That last group and antifa is a bad look for all the ones who want change because its taking away from the message. Everyone is in agreement that the cops that killed George Floyd need to be prosecuted and sent to jail. What people don’t agree with is the rioting and looting, attacking cops, burning down businesses, assaulting/murdering white people (pretty much anyone not of color) etc.
So yes, anyone who plans to attack me personally, my loved ones, my home or business will be met with full force. I don’t give a **** what your race, religion, gender or “group” you think your apart of. End of story.
I think you need to take a step back and look at the situation and realize what it is. While you’re at it, take a hard look at MSM and what they are doing to divide this country.

Idk how many times I need to say that the violence is obviously wrong, but that that shouldnt be the fixation in this moment.
You can't be serious with this. So if I hop over to the COVID thread you are pounding the table about how serious COVID is and how we need to give up our civil liberty for it? GTFO
There is a difference between protesting and looting BTW.
