Lol. Always love your unfounded claims. I don’t have such standards as yourself to promote such nonsense…and I predicted there wouldn’t be much of any of it and I was certainly right.
It’s called progress.

Please explain. Why are there no rioting looting and burning? They charged Derek Chauvin and had him dead to rights. Why is there some difference now? Is it because the police are black, so people can't go as crazy? It is such a sharp contrast. OR is it what I think. If Trump isn't in office the riots, looting and burning just doesn't happen. Odd stuff really.

Did you want looting and rioting? Are you incapable of giving props to chief CJ? The George Floyd murder was handled differently and the police made attempts to demonize the victim to justify the murder. You cannot murder people while in custody. Nobody has that right.

I figured you and your counterparts would play the race card. You are so predictable. The black community has had issues with the police for centuries. Black police officers killing black citizens is nothing new. Abusive black police officers is not new either. Where have you been all of these years? You are completely out of touch with reality.

KRS 1 had this popular hip hop song in the early 90s titled Black Cop. The lyrics!

Black Cop

Buck buck buck-buck-buck, buck-buck buck buck!
All rude bwoy lissen up!
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people, we all gonna drop
You don't even get, paid a whole lot
So take your M-60 and put it 'pon lock!
Take your four-five and you put it 'pon lock!
Lookin for your people when you walk down a block
Here in America you have drug spot
They get the black cop, to watch the drug spot
The black drug dealer just avoid black cop
They're killin each other on a East Coast block
Killin each other on a West Coast block
White police, don't give a care about dat
Dem want us killin each other over crack
Anyway you put it it's a black on BLACK
Black cop black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
Thirty years, there were no black cops
You couldn't even run, drive round the block
Recently police trained black cop
To stand on the corner, and take gunshot
This type of warfare isn't new or a shock
It's black on black crime again nonSTOP
Black cop!! Black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
"Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker comin into my face..
Don't be the sucker.."
Here's what the West and the East have in common
Both have black cops in cars profilin
Hardcore kids in the West got stress
In the East we are chased by the same black beast
The black cop is the only real obstacle
Black slave turned black cop is not logical
But very psychological, haven't you heard?
It's the BLACK COP killin black kids in Johannesburg
Whassup black cop, yo, whassup?!
Your authorization says shoot your nation
You want to uphold the law, what could you do to me?
The same law dissed the whole black community
You can't play both sides of the fence
1993 mad kids are gettin tense
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people we all gonna drop
You don't even get, paid a whole lot
Take your four-five and you put it 'pon lock!
Take your M-60 and put it 'pon lock!
Take your uzi, put it 'pon lock!
Black cop black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
"Don't be the sucker
Don't be the sucker
Don't be the sucker
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't.. don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't-don't
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't, don't-don't
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't!
Don't be the sucker comin into my face with that yang-yang!"

Funny song. If folks could behave cops wouldn’t be needed.

The race card never stops being played, yet more white folks get killed by police officers than black folks every year.

The rioting that happened because of poor Floyd was because it was a white officer, there’s all but no rioting in regards to Nichols because the officers weren’t white. Hence only a couple dozen protesters in Pittsburgh and almost nothing across the country.

Floyd was a violent criminal.

Between 1997 and 2005, Floyd was arrested several times on drug and theft charges and spent months in jail.

In 2007, Floyd was charged with aggravated robbery in which he allegedly placed a gun on a woman’s abdomen and demanded drugs and money. In 2009, he pleaded guilty and received a five-year prison sentence. He got out on parole in 2013.

He pointed a gun at a women's stomach. Come on.

Why is this different? Ah, I am right aren't I. I know I am and so does everyone else.

Drugs and theft go hand and hand. Neither are considered violent. This was not grounds for murder. He was someone to somebody. Most drug addicts have concerned family members that love them in spite of.

Yes, this is okay in your neighborhood, but in civilized society it really isn't.

He was a violent drug addict. He didn't deserve to die of course, but he was sick and on drugs and probably was on his way out within a week or two. I don't condone that a-hole officer however. He was garbage, but let's not pretend Floyd was some good person. Far from it.
