Nothing! Change of what? Law enforcement doing their jobs? Look, when criminals do criminal things and get caught and resist and fight police, police have a right to use "that amount of force necessary to affect the arrest."


These loser criminal thugs, black, white or whatever color, are killing themselves. I got no sympathy for them.


I'm willing to go about my regular, everyday life working my a** off to support the lazy, welfare-sucking losers who are, currently, rioting and injuring and killing innocent people, destroying property and communities and looting. They can thank me later.

The Police have NO obligation to protect you or your property. That is your job.

Nobody deserves to die like Floyd did. Not sure how he could resist when he was already handcuffed and had a cop kneeling on his neck. I'm sorry that you condone such abhorrent behavior. The majority of this country doesn't seem to feel like you do. My question was what are we going to do to listen to the concerns of the peaceful protesters? But like you said, you have yours, so why should you care? The only ones who may thank you are Trump and his loyalists, since they seem to have the same small-minded, non-empathetic, no solutions or even dialogue approach you do.

Government tried that with Ryan and Armond Bundy.

Oh? And just WHERE is that stated in the Constitution? Which in case you haven't noticed IS the law of the land, not your imagination.

It didn't work then either.....

Who are you trying to gaslight?
Or are you just dishonest with yourself.




An individual can exercise as many rights at once as they wish. It is their right.

Something that these troublemakers don't get is they can't use that racist crap anymore.

The truth is... back in 2008 most people elected Obama and thought, there, black people should now know for sure that we aren't racists. Yup we patted ourselves on the back and said, there we go.. they will be assured of our intent now.

So when we hear over and over again how racist we are... we are increasingly done with it.

No, no we aren't and if your going to continue bating us we will have to assume YOU are racist. And that is how it is going.

We know most of these protestors are not legit but we won't be cowed and guilted any longer.

Police will bring radio signal jammers into areas to prevent protesters from communicating with each other.
The US needs to look toward China and other regimes with a lot of experience dealing with these problems. China has over a billion people and they haven't allowed 140 cities to go into riot all at once.
