Firstly, I want to make clear that I'm fine w/ peaceful protesting but NOT violent rioting in any shape or form.
The last 3 nights have featured 99% violent rioting.
No one will remember, once rioting starts, the reason for any protest.
This occurs with each protest. It becomes an excuse to loot and riot for the masses.
I suspect of each 1,000 rioting, perhaps ten would prefer a peaceful protest.
The solution is simple: Cities should call out the National Guard, and only allow protests with permits, crowd capacity, each of whom must put up giant bonds. They should list all attendees, and there should be a sign in list.
Soros could back the funding up.
Any other mass protests/riots, should be broken up immediately, with those in it arrested.
Using counterfeit money is a crime he was arrested he resisted he had a severe medical condition it killed him the cop did not kill him
We have walked this road before
Mob justice vs rule of law
The difference when the verdict goes against the court
The bailiff and judge don’t go out and burn and loot
True. This cop should be set free. The autopsies show death was not due to asphyxia or strangulation. Thes idiots protesting, rioting, and looting should be dealt with appropriately.
These Democrat mayors and governors are not doing nearly enough. They have tied the hands of their cops and allowing all this violence. They should be held responsible.
"...Lack of oxygen, either partial [hypoxia] or total [anoxia], can cause death. Normal room air is approximately 21% oxygen. Impairment of cognitive and motor function can manifest at oxygen concentrations of 10-15%, loss of consciousness at less than 10%, while death usually occurs at less than 8%. For example, although hypoxic endurance varies, a person can lose consciousness in 40 seconds and die within a few minutes at ambient oxygen levels as low as 4-6%..."
That racist, a-hole cop had his knee on that man's neck for 8 min & 48 sec. ANYONE, medical condition or not, would have been dead after ALL that time. Why didn't the cop just have his knee on his neck for 2 mins?
Lies. No proof he’s “racist”. That’s just the typical BS when blacks are arrested or held. Refute his autopsies! This cop should be set free. These scum looters and rioters should pay for their uncivilized destruction and violence.
One racial group can be against murdering someone from another racial group.
Right! Now I guess this is going to be a shocker for some of you out there, but um, NOT all non-black people dislike blacks & want to see the injustice & suffering that they face everyday either. Unless people just choose to be in denial, people know the unfair injustices that blacks & other minorities have faced for decades.

Plus, he was charged before the autopsy was complete, so that kind of changes things, no? Yes?
Ah, "lol", where the hell have you been? He was charged w/3rd-degree murder & everyone's mad because that wasn't severe enough. One of many articles:

I question why the knee had to be on the neck at all. Based on positioning, knees on the shoulder would likely have kept Floyd essentially immobile.
That said, I can understand why the trial could produce either a guilty or innocent verdict. IMO it will largely be a matter of % causation of the cop's actions. Civil lawsuits with injuries in play often are settled in that manner, btw.
I am surprised the other 3 cops were not charged to the fullest extent possible, in an attempt to get one to end up a state witness for personal leniency. IMO best strategy would be look for the 1 of the 3 most likely to see his family economically destroyed by any charges, lean on him, to flip to the state's side.
