And you would be incorrect. Do we really want our protestors to be "civil" in the face of carnage against the black males of this nation. I for one would like to know about it.
If a race war is what you're after, your Antifa buddies are doing more to that end than any of the most ardent "white supremacists" ever could have hoped to. I hope you're happy.

I'm a charter member of AntiFa. I'll have to check.
It actually doesn't no matter which cop it is because the issue is cops murdering.
You have to wonder what kind of questions are on these police exams.
The suspect is on the ground face down in handcuffs struggling to breathe. You and three other officers are arresting him for using a fake 20 dollar bill. What do you do next?
A) put him in the back of the police car
B) call for additional backup
C) sit him up on the curb and wait for EMS
D) kneel on his neck and chest until he stops breathing

And cops teach it to other cops anyway.
Originally, it was called the "choke hold" but after years of public outrage and thoughts from the medical community it was given a politically correct name like "non-violent disablement" then later banned.
You use your forearm and baton or tonfa or you use your bicep and forearm to collapse both sides of the neck.
Depending on a person's physiology and health, they'll be rendered unconscious in 5-7 seconds.
A football player or someone with a particularly thick neck might last 9 seconds or even 11 seconds.
The problem is some people rendered unconscious die; others are left in a permanent vegetative state; and others suffer effects tantamount to a hemorrhagic stroke.
Unfortunately, you cannot know beforehand what will actually happen just by looking at a person.
Whether Floyd could breath or not doesn't matter, because people with anxiety/panic attacks think they can't breathe, too. They can breathe, but they think they cannot and that's all that matters because that's what triggers the flood of hormones and enzymes in the brain and certain other organs.
Floyd was handcuffed and not going anywhere and the cop should have shifted to a knee in the back between the shoulder blades to keep Floyd pinned down if it was actually necessary to pin him down.
All I have to say to those cops is thanks a helluva lot because I was out and about last night and had to literally run for my life with the riots shutting down I-75 and tearing up Over-the-Rhine where I live.
Now we have a 10:00 PM and I can't do squat.
While I usually agree with you in this case I'm going to disagree. What I saw was horrible but I wasn't there. I have no idea what pressure was applied to his neck nor did I see enough of the whole situation before the incident occur.
You can thank the rioters for your having to run for your life - the cops did not do this on purpose to incite them I'm sure.
A legal expert was just on our local news and said that Mr Floyd said he was having a problem breathing when he was standing up before the cops held him down. The evidence is pointing towards he may have been dying regardless of what the cops did. This is going to trial and a conviction is going to be really tough.
Amazing the media hasn’t reported this?
These folks that want to lynch this cop don’t care about any pre-existing conditions.
I heard the murderers wife has filed for divorce? Is this true.
