Perhaps some of you arejust are not getting this. You expect it to make sense. Young vs old, black vs white....it won't matter. The line has been crossed. It's a new paradigm....
This is what anarchy looks like. In the face of what this murdering cop did to Floyd it is APPROPRIATE.
The burning of all these innocent buildings? In the face of the murder it is morally indefensible and absolutely necessary. The ugliest thing I've ever seen.
The line has been crossed. Don't expect anything to make sense....except that.
Destroying innocent small businesses is stupid, MLK is rolling over in his grave. All for peaceful protests but this diminishes the cause. Gathering in large crowds in the middle of a large pandemic is not a good idea but here we are.
Let me help you ClaraC. In the position that the police put him in there was pressure on his chest with his arms handcuffed behind him he could not prevent his chest collapsing and it was difficult to breathe. With the additional pressure on his neck he could not move and over the 6 minutes his oxygen diminished to the point where his heart became overwhelmed with carbon dioxide and his heart stopped. This is how people die.
The cop was told Floyd had no pulse and he kept his knee of his neck for 3 more minutes.
GROTESQUE. I have seen hundreds of people dieat the end of life when they cannot breathe. Hundreds maybe even more. That is how it happens.
The line has been crossed by this monster.
The evidence is starting to point towards a completely different story than you are describing with such emotion. Thank God we have justice in this country free from emotion.
The losers on the streets don't understand this. They own nothing, have no ties to the community. After the fires are out, they just move on, leaving millions behind with a ruined city.
Then the second wave comes when the reduced tax base can no longer support the police and fire departments. This is the new Democrat party. Chaos.
And the forces of society are unwilling to stop the riots, stop the madness. Heck, they even surrendered the police station to rioters.

That is not evidence. You are being played. Trust me I'm not emotional about how people died. It's simple math. that is how I know what killed this man.
Of course he did, but that doesn't justify destroying 170 businesses, rioting, looting, burning people's home's and vehicles? Those people did nothing to deserve that. You'd better be careful what you wish for it may be you next.

MLK is rolling over his grave because although he had to fight to re-enforce the original civil rights bill, black people are still fighting for justice and equality and white people still like to throughout his name to reinforce obedience. All African ancestors are with their people as they continue the fight! Seeing people stand up and fight for their rights by any means necessary is what needs to happen. Those businesses have insurance they will be fine. But those people will keep facing injustice until things change. If they don't this will keep happening.

I'm just observing. this is simple math. It's morally reprehensible what is happening to innocent people. You continue to insist that it's inappropriate.
The simple math is that this is one incident, and the person who did it is already in jail and will be there for a VERY long time.
