I keep waiting for the video that was mentioned a couple pages ago, that show Floyd falling and then being beset upon by several cops.
I've never seen a video of the moment where things turned. All anyone can see in these videos is at first, the cops were completely respectful and gentle, and then they were on his neck and back. What happened in between?
That video was shown on the CBS evening news but I can't find it on line. He fell and they jumped on him.
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.
The 3rd precinct in Minneapolis is besieged right now with cops firing tear gas from the roof. They already looted target and the liquor store. LA 1992 part 2?

So I guess the president ordering an FBI and DoJ investigation isn't good enough? Only a cart full of flatscreens can bring justice?

Can you blame them? They are tired of being murdered by the police.

Typical liberal protest consist of setting everything ablaze, physical assaults, looting, shooting, destroying private and public property, blocking roads, burning flags, throwing bricks ..... did I mention fire? Liberals love fire.
We’ll show these cops by destroying our own community!

I can't either, although I looked through CBS Minneapolis and watched their evening broadcast.
Can you describe it further?
Was he still walking compliantly, as before, and fell?
Did this happen at the large SUV cop car that we see in the final seconds of the YouTube video, very nearly out of range of the surveillance camera, and blocked by another cop car that pulls up?
I hope the looters are maintaining social distancing and wearing masks. If not the mayor might actually do something.
