Apologies In Advance For Being Harsh

Peaceful protesters need to be protected and encouraged. Violent police and/or protesters need to be dealt with rapidly and forcefully.

This may be completely beyond some folks, but racist murders often lead to violent protests. Especially when committed by policemen who are a complete disgrace to their profession.
Murderous racists and policeman who commit homicide also need to be dealt with "rapidly" and "forcefully".
Think about it a minute.

Best way to get back at dirty policeman is to steal tvs and vandalize businesses.
You are obviously "thinking about it."

What a twisted, warped view.

NOBODY is excusing what those cops did, or trying to justify it in any way. Yet there are tons of idiots trying to make the looting, stealing, and burning seem understandable, if not fully justified.

murdered by a policeman or fellow citizen. They just want an opportunity to destroy property, loot and commit violence. Think about it.

Exactly. They are nothing but trash.

They don't give a #### about George Floyd. Sad thing is some people are trying to make them out to be brave warriors fighting against injustice. Others may not go that far, but still try to justify it or excuse it because the thugs are "understandably angry".

Yup. People need to open their eyes to see the actual injustice is happening against POC. Looting and rioting is a last effort of desperation in a society that has forgotten or ignores them.
When your gov’t AND its police have the same evil racist motivations as common folk who refuse to evolve, violence becomes the only answer.
Racism is the problem here.

racist act vs a bad cop?
May 30, 2020, 10:29 AM
[ in reply to Re: Apologies In Advance For Being Harsh ] |

Too many deaths and in this case, it should not be condoned by anyone.
just because the officer was white and the victim was black - what makes this a racist event? If evidence is found, then I support that term. Until then, why is it simply not a bad cop?
I am sure there are racist police of all colors/heritage. But why does this event become racist? If a black cop does the same to a white victim - do we immediately think it is racist? I do not.
Maybe we should slow down with racist comments until facts support. To clarify - I am white and clearly cannot even partially understand he issues of “being black”. My friend and Close acquaintance base does not (to my knowledge) include a single racist. If they were - they would be removed from my world.
I do believe in personal accountability and I don’t care what race you are - if you do a crime - you should be held accountable.

Yeah, that will be end fairly quickly. When lawless mobs venture into the free parts of the country, they’re in for a rude awakening. I don’t understand this mentality, after moving around the southeast, that you are somehow superior or inferior or discriminated against based on your skin color, race, or whatever. One of my Dr’s is black, she’s great. My dentist is white, he’s great. Never really thought about how they looked.

As long as most people only focus on one side of the equation, things won't improve.
The racists that murdered Ahmaud Arbery deserved to be arrested quickly. But what actually happened? They also deserved what they dished out.
The oh so entitled racist Amy Cooper deserved every bit of the condemnation she has received (not the death threats).
The murderous Minneapolis police officer deserves the same "justice" he gave George Floyd.
The looters were utterly disgraceful and deserve jail time.
So how easy that was?

Yes,
If Arbery was breaking in and stealing #### no one has any sympathy for the POS. If he was targeted that’s a disgusting, criminal, possibly racist act that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Cooper, if she filed a false report send her to jail...agree on the Doxing and death threats let the law take care of it
Floyd...murder is a strong term. What happened from start to finish? Why did these police officers suddenly have a knee on his upper back? Maybe there was one guy responsible and overrated based on his own feelings. Maybe something else happened. If he made an irrational decision to just kill(or even ‘punish’) the guy, that’s absolutely murder.
Looters need jail time. Being dumb and reactionary is not an excuse.
I think 99% of the country is on the same page with this stuff. The ignorant and/or malicious 1% is trying to drive the narative.

A knee on his upper back? Are you just trying to be contrary? His knee was on his neck and you're the first person I've seen try to say otherwise. It doesn't matter why or what happened before, when objective citizens can see the guy is in distress and are yelling at the cops to check his pulse the police have a duty to act.

^^^I hope that you responded in a similar fashion when Omar the Muslim stated that "Some people did some things" referring to 911. If not, then you need to admit that you don't give a ### about AMERICA. If her speech did not make you furious, then you need to think about moving to a country that you might actually care about.
If you actually cared and your reaction to that Muslim's speech was like most AMERICANS, then my apologies, and carry on. Just don't be two-faced. Nobody in AMERICA needs that crap.

One of "the ignorant and/or malicious 1%" trying to "drive the narrative" suggested the looters should be shot.
Unfortunately, this person occupies the Oval Office.
No excuse for that. Would be good if some of the remaining 99% of us that voted for him would express some passionate displeasure.

What I fail to understand is this police officer committed a horrible crime of murder and was arrested and charged with murder, but the destroying of businesses and stealing continues...... the dude’s arrested, he gone! Why continue the madness? Like what did this poor guy do in the picture below. He didn’t kill nobody. Why they making people like this pay? People aren’t thinking.

in those businesses. They are unemployed. Some businesses won't build back certainly after already being hurt by the pandemic. Lot of people may be in a bad way. Typically in poorer communities people have to walk to stores, there is no longer a store to walk to. The ones that walked to the store, did not burn it down.

Because the people rioting don’t give a crap about Mr. Floyd!

The people, and I use that word liberally to describe these thugs, just want anarchy. And there are thugs of all color perpetrating and participating in the riots. They don’t care about George Floyd. They are always looking for an opportunity to destroy and create havoc.

In cities governed by Democrats you can be arrested for reopening a business, but not for looting one.
