These ignorant animals are too impatient and impulsive to allow time for justice. Every. Single. Time.

They burn down their neighborhoods and hurt each other as we watch in horror on our TV’s and at the end of the day they have so successfully distracted from their so-called “cause” that people are saying “George who?”

Good job, folks.

All one has to do is finish high school, work a full time job, and wait until you're to get married and have kids and one will have a 75% chance of being Middle Class or higher and less than a 3% chance of being poor. As if the reason black males abandon their child is because of racism. I guess we're more racist today than 50 years ago, right?
History is a crutch? If so, we all are influenced by this crutch....whether we want to admit it or not. Yes. White racism is transient. It might manifest as democrats once century and the next century it takes the form of Republicans. It's always lived in both parties, however.

I wonder if they will reduce welfare payments to pay for that police station.

And we hear them, loud and clear.
i wonder what the suburban 'safety' mom voters will think about this uncontrolled violence and rampant lawlessness by rioters that is happening so near their homes come november 2020. i can't imagine they will forget the destruction of minneapolis and st. paul due to the failure of democrat political leadership in the cities and the state.

Depends on the day of the week. People have short memories.

Yes, overall I believe if one polls black and white communities you would find a higher percentage of whites happier with police than blacks.

Odd development ... George Floyd and the Cop knew each other. They both worked Security at the same nightclub.

Minneapolis Mayor Frey: 'Brick and mortar is not as important as life' - ABC News

During his address to media, Frey reflected on the bigger meaning of the protests.

"Brick and mortar are not as important as life," he said. "The symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the significance of life."

Frey said that "we are going to be united as a city," and added that he was the one who made the decision to have officers withdraw from the 3rd Precinct building. He noted the danger to both the officers inside the building as well as the protesters.


A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year.

The crutch that you think racism is relevant today. That you think it is a reason why blacks aren't making it and doing better in this day and age.

It hasn't really lived with the republicans. Almost all groups have bigots but the republicans don't support the bigots. Someone might sneak in at a small insignificant local level but nothing major.

There are more white single parent homes than black single parent homes. Of course you KNOW that, but that does not fit your agenda. You would be quick to note disproportionate with population. But not in this case.....you want to use raw numbers, now, for your white right agenda.

We are discussing the killing of unarmed men who are already detained and of no threat. These stats are irrelevant to the discussion.
