Of course, looting is crazy. But since these police killings of innocent black people continue, and any chance of justice or appropriate punishment for the guilty is unlikely, I can see how the fury would explode.
it's clear they're using the outrage as an excuse for looting.
they loot at every opportunity.
The lefty media must feel there is something to hide in the video otherwise they wouldn't edit out the part where he resisted and gets taken down.
MSM is scum.
I'm not big on media editing......
But his resistance is IRRELEVANT.
Look at it this way:
Just like George Zimmerman's following Trayvon Martin was irrelevant.
George shouldn't have followed Trayvon, he should have obeyed the dispatcher.
But once Trayvon had Zimmerman down and bashing his head into the pavement, Zimmerman's following him was irrelevant because at that moment in time, Zimmerman feared for his life and was therefore justified in using deadly force.
The same logic applies here
The fact that the guy resisted is irrelevant because he was already apprehended, down and cuffed when the police injured him to the point of causing his death.
what's his rap sheet like?
again, I gave him benefit of the doubt because in the one picture I saw of the guy, he seemed to be clean cut and decently dressed, unlike a typical thug.
Police should know how to "restrain" people without killing them. If they can't, they should be doing something else. What in "I can't breathe" didn't this cop understand?
Even if he did resist (and I'm very skeptical about what police call resisting, especially as one can resist with or without violence), he was handcuffed and on the ground and, thus, not posing a threat in a way where a knee had to be in his neck for minutes.

His resistance before that point doesn't matter.
He did. Not only does he say he did, but the audio 911 call of his breathing slowing after saying "ok" to the dispatcher shows that he was slowing his pace and ostensibly stopped following as he says. Put it this way: there is zero evidence to show that Zimmerman didn't stop following Trayvon, while numerous evidence to support that he did.

He was in the back seat of a car when they first encountered him! I don't know how any "claustrophobia" claim could be made.
