They have been on the streets protesting for over a year.

Not one shop has ever been looted.

Not. One.

Black Americans learned how to riot from white Americans.


Except the part about having the riot in their neighborhood, not your own. Black Americans haven't caught that clue yet.

This is some video that allegedly shows what happened after cops put Floyd into the back of a cop car. We can't see Floyd, (and it is Shaun King of all people who has this video - so keep that in mind) but we can see the officers doing something to him, or someone in the back of the car - not sure what they are doing, but it does beg the question:

If true as posted, he's in the back of the car, handcuffed, why drag him out and then sit on him for 9 minutes? He was already in the car, handcuffed. What danger did he pose to those officers that required them to drag him out and sit on his neck?

Nothing these cops did made sense. And I don't think ANY cop car should have tinted windows. How convenient.

On another note, it's possible someone else took that video but didn't want to become a police target and sent it to Shaun King to put out.

And we all know why that is. People in Hong Kong who are accustomed to more freedom are very nervous about this change and crackdown.

Sorry, but I don't want to live in an atmosphere like that.

Take a break people. I'm closing this thread in about 15 minutes. I have started two new threads that just may help keep things more organized.
