This is you being overly emotional and demanding action without considering the detailed steps necessary to ensure a successful conviction. Blow your lid, burn crap down, beat people up, and yet the wheel still turns the same it always does. Why is it so difficult for so many people to understand that justice does not operate by threat?
But you are wrong, justice can indeed operate by threat. This is what's going to happen to the top 1% within the next decade. A reset where the mega rich are drug out into the streets and shot after their money ends up worthless from their own corrupt actions. Well, maybe not... but all of us have various levels of anger within us and sometimes fantasize about such things from time to time. When events like this occur and officers get placed on paid administrative leave, it gives an excuse for that anger to kind of "release" ... it's one of the flaws of being human... our animal drives. Throw in a media that uses identity politics to stir up people's emotions and it's a recipe for events like this. Dare I say there are certain elements within the top that want these riots, because it gives them an excuse to respond with greater restrictions on our liberty.

Helps the Republicans.
Outraged Black voters, who would only vote for a Democrat, will never vote for a White man.
And there are 2 of them running.
That’s the irony. We Black voters claim white people are racist and evil yet here we are supporting a rich white old man who wants to define what it means to be black, by voting for him.
This section of the site has covered many black issues from the 80% black out of wedlock birth rate, to the black on black violence in the inner city, etc.
The common denominator is always the blind support we have for democrats. It’s painfully clear no politician is going to ever legislate blacks up the social ladder, change police behavior, eliminate the gangs in the hood, or decrease the out of wedlock birthrate.
And it’s insanity that we continue to think otherwise.
You do realize that article is about a different country?

While I do realize it is written in the UK but it tend to reflect the situation in 80% of the world and much the US as well especially the more “progressive” or Democrat ran states. The POTUS as well as state governors/local officials who don’t adopt harsh measures to control their citizens under their juristication became vilified, look how the media treated red states for not adopting harsh lockdowns eventually some gave in such as Arizona, Texas, a number of others while others like the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Iowa did not give in. The media was also pushing for more and more restrictions on the people. Apparently while the Left might say they want police accountability it’s all bark but no bite for many reason as they still want police to be their storm troopers to enforce their agenda no better if not worse than the right since they have much more laws or executive orders to push. As another poster mentioned the worst police misconduct places happens to be in the bluest most progressive areas of the country. Those areas also have among the most arrests in relation to enforce these very vague, arbitrarily, and hastily made COVID19 orders in which no one not even the attorneys and those who wrote can really intérprete them properly. Eventually in California a better list came out which stated most activities people were reportably arrested or cited about were actually permissible under the state order. Yet the mainstream media stays silent. Also did police around the US put a pause on such brutality for about a month straight just because of COVID19 or were incidents around the country covered up by MS media as the media now wants the police to enforce the new orders with stride. They essentially want the police to enforce a Chinese/European style lockdown in the US despite how orders around the US allows generallis amounts of exceptions making them more suggestive than enforceable.

This is just so awful. I wonder when the accusations of forgery against him will be made clear.
The owner of a corner store there called Cup Foods, said that Floyd had come in and tried to buy something, paying with a $20 bill that the owner said tested as counterfeit. So the owner called the cops. Cops showed up while Floyd was still outside the store, sitting in the driver's seat of a car with two other people in it. Video pretty much shows the rest, except for a period after the cops cuffed Floyd and walked him to a cop car across the street. Floyd appears to be pretty much completely cooperative, never attacks the cops, never tries to run etc. That video ends with the cop and Floyd standing next to the cop car, a pretty long distance from the camera. Another video (the one that triggered all the shock) starts with Floyd on the ground and a cop kneeling with his knee on Floyd's neck, with Floyd saying "I can't breathe".
What happened between the time Floyd and the cop are standing next to the cop car (end of that video), and the start of the video showing Floyd on the ground with the knee on his neck?
Only thing that could have (maybe) justified the knee on the neck, is if Floyd's behavior changed abruptly to extreme violence, attacking the cops or trying to run or something. That would be extremely odd, since he never did anything like that during the minutes when cops took him out of his own car, cuffed him, walked him to the building, and then walked him to the cop car. He was cooperative and pretty peaceful all the time, doing what the cops told him etc. Maybe he was jawing at the cops, but they get that all the time, it doesn't even count as "resisting".
Why would he suddenly change right after the cop-walk video ended and behave in ways violent enough to justify the knee on the neck... if he changed at all?
Somebody here who says he saw another video that might cover the time between the cop-walk video and the knee-on-the-neck video, said that Floyd appeared to fall down then, almost as though he had fainted.
Anybody know where that video is? Anybody else seen it?
Again, more people in a certain area and it's more likely to get caught in larger cities. Doesn't take a genius to figure this one out.
Thanks for your non question.
Well genius, look up the population of Oslo and then the crime rate and get back to us.
