George Floyd Protest/Riots

[happy-go_vol]

The police officer should have turned his beer summit offer down in my opinion.

Agreed, i bet he was put under a lot pressure to put on a happy face. I wonder if old Evil even remembers his muslim savior doing that

Why the racist comment? Who said all looters are black?

Because evill is a racist dem, as most uppity whites in the dem party

It appears that Donald Trump is trying to either walk back or revise his "When the looting starts, the shooting starts" tweet from the early morning hours. This is why Democrats had nothing to worry about with Joe Biden's dumb "you ain't black" remark. We can always count on Donald Trump to say something even dumber and unlike Joe Biden, instead of immediately apologizing for it, Trump will either try to pretend that he never said it, or try to revise its meaning. Trump has been getting hammered for that tweet today. That Biden gaffe has already been forgotten.

I'm ready for this election to be over if for no other reason than to put an end to this tit for tat bull ****. Seriously, lost in all of this is a man who was needlessly killed by cops, but wait, we can make political hay from this and act like rioting and looting are AOK. I hate when people take advantage of tragedy. Even something like this that people should reasonably come together over somehow is used to drive wedges. Kudos.

Things getting real in Brooklyn

So what you are saying so far in this thread is that people in blue states and blue areas like DC are rioting....

Maybe that's why we all make fun of blue states?

Ummmm, could be.

Burning an Autozone to the ground isn't minor property crime either

Burning a multi million affordable housing complex isn't either.
You can't spell imbecile without EL.

The taxpayers of Minneapolis deserve a refund. They pay property taxes and in return deserve to have that property protected from savages. The police acted cowardly. They abandoned their responsibility and the post that the taxpayers funded on their behalf. Peaceful protests that do not interfere with commerce and safety should be welcomed. Looters should be shot.

 

[Weezer]

Out of curiosity, do we really need to keep bringing Obama up? He has nothing to do with this situation. I know you guys love getting all political, but it adds nothing to the conversation.

Everyone should be outraged at watching a man needlessly killed by the police. It doesn't need to be political. At the same time, rioting and looting are not valid forms of protest. Those who would act as if they are, are idiots.

That was very irresponsible rhetoric coming from the President of the United States. How was that tweet going to help with anything? The role of the President should not be to escalate hostilities, but that was what Donald Trump was doing with that incredibly stupid tweet.

The tweet was dumb and unneccessary.

If words lead to violence though society is doomed.

It doesn't need to be political or racial.

The attention should be placed on these good for nothing pigs. They would rather serve The Man as opposed to their fellow citizens.

Is it stupid to think uncontrolled violence and chaos will lead to shooting? I understand the left is preaching this phrase supposedly has some kind of racist past(according to ABC), but common sense will tell you violence begets violence and no one should be surprised if it escalates. People should be more offended by the idiots taking advantage of a tragedy to loot than what the damn President tweets. I mean, damn, he'll say plenty of other stupid **** you can get legitimately offended by.

Just saw a great comment on this.

In the needless death of Floyd we have a situation where the country is actually united in their outrage. A rare thing in these current times.

And now thanks to these dumbass rioting looters were back to situation normal and just screeching at each other.

Way to go

*golf clap*

 

[volinbham]

Man, could you imagine how bad it'd be with someone divisive like Obama in office? So glad we got the great conciliator Trump in there.

Obama - the guy that called Baltimore protestors criminals, arsonists and thugs?

Trump doesn't understand that words matter coming from the president. That was incredibly irresponsible. Trump does not possess the attributes of a leader during times of crisis. He politicizes the situation, picks a side and escalates any hostility that exists with even more inflammatory rhetoric. Trump is unprofessional and divisive.

* Now hurry! A red hat needs to reply to this by saying something about Obama and a beer summit.

This is a very good point.

Everybody I know thinks the cop murdered him and should go to jail but these riots have over shadowed everything.

Yep! ‘Murica working as intended these days!

Trump was making a threat. He was advocating for the shooting to begin from law enforcement. It was very stupid and irresponsible. That was exactly the wrong thing to say at exactly the wrong time. Trump is not a leader. Trump is an agitator.

Name one president who didnt escalate a situation.

Nixon killed college kids.

Clinton was Waco.

Gonna bypass Obama but you know the truth there.

I have zero issues with you disagreeing with his tweet but dont pretend hes the first president to ramp up a bad situation.

I am not happy he said it but hes not the first.

Good lord, man. Give it a rest. I'm sure someone will step up to defend Trump, but it's no damn different than your continuous defense of Obama and Biden. I don't disagree with a thing you said about Trump. All of it also applies to Biden. They both suck. Is it really so hard to just admit that?

 

[ETV]

Again, still not worth ending someone’s life

When riots start, it's because the mob is out of control. Once they've lost control and are running on pure emotion and instinct, they're gonna go home and sleep it off? Do you believe that once damage to property is over, they'll just stop? Reginald Denny may disagree with you.

It was a damn tweet, so how in the hell do you know it was meant as a threat? And even if it was, so the fawk what? People shouldn't be looting. In case you missed it, looting is not a legitimate form of protest. It's taking advantage of a tragedy to steal **** from people.
