These people have legitimate complaints against local police.

Gee Waldo, shouldn't that read, "those thugs should have just obeyed the commands of the police and they wouldn't have been shot. Look how those animals treated that police officer who was only doing her job etc, etc, etc..."

Maybe we can get some of these "brave" protestors and rioters over here to go over there and rally on the victims behalf. People in this country have no idea what real corruption is until they need a cop in South America or Africa, good luck with that.

I'm dying to know what difference it makes if a cop is shooting with a Glock or an Ak.

Burundi, Minnesota or Burundi, Iowa?

Those photos are exquisite. I wonder who took the photos.

These demonstraters were violent and from what it said, began to somewhat attack another officer.. course they should be stopped by force then. What should she do, just stand and watch?

Automatic machine gun, low accuracy vs single shot high accuracy weapon. Huge difference in the carnage brought to crowd. Anyone should know this.

Hmm. IMO no. These protesters actually have a real valid cause to be out there demonstrating. .

Same here.

Dead is dead. It doesn't matter that here the uniformed thugs can only shoot us in the back a few at a time vs. gunning us down wholesale with a military-grade weapon. Dead is dead.

Amazing how the badge-lickers will do anything to defend the actions of those in power. It's just more of the same - the guy being shot must have "deserved it" even when the facts clearly state otherwise. I wonder how those cheering on state-sponsored violence will feel when the uniformed thugs get around to killing people further up the socio-economic ladder or start being more "diverse" in their racial choices for who they kill? We've already proven that a large chunk of this nation doesn't care if the murder victim is poor or colored; once that "life is cheap" mindset takes hold, it's only a matter of time before "legal" murder of other people becomes more common.

But, hey - who cares, provided it happens to somebody else. That's the new American way.
