George Floyd Protest/Riots

[LouderVol]

But CNN is woke and supposed to be on their side.

Apparently the crowd was ticked off at them for some reason. I legit dont know why.

All these dims protesting and conservatives are like...

Man I watched The Blind Side tonight. Just had to say that since you mentioned Memphis.

Could be Sandra Bullock's ass' finest performance!

I guess you're right, rinsing and repeating the same "unarmed black man killed by cops" probably has the same predictability to them as well.

You tend to find what you're looking for. Too bad the evidence isn't there.

Shootings, robbing stuff, destroying stuff - We call that Tuesday in Memphis

LULZ!

Ha. I thought this as I watched it. She really isnt my type but thought this was one of her better looks in this movie. Kind of a preppy southern whore-ish look. She can pull that off.

 

[Boca Vol]

To reference her brother in law, someone musta slid in safe...

At least gave one side of it hell!

You don't think there's evidence of decades of cop on black violence?

MPD needs to hold their ground for the 5th precinct. Continuing to withdraw is not the answer.

I've seen so much more people wearing masks in these protests than I have walking around Knoxville. There are almost more white people than black in some of these protests as well.

Well some people blocked traffic. And media went apesh**.

 

[508mikey]

What's most concerning is NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE is practicing social distancing!

proof everyone was fooled by the Famous Dr Fauci

Did they abandon their post on top of that 5th precinct building?

 

[Septic]

Both. Burning down buildings and beating up old ladies aren't the same as a tweet, but definitely both.

Wait, beating up old ladies? What?

Are the straw-men coming out?

Trumps twitter app is far more destructive than any Molotov cocktail.

Is this darryl gates LAPD again? They are taking the initiative.

Some fools in Minneapolis set the Wells Fargo bank on fire.

cant get ID with the mask on

From what I heard, they're still there defending from the rooftop.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

So did these people go there and single out Bakersfield? Of all the city's/communities in California, Bakersfield wouldn't be in my top 10 list for protesting.

 

[Boca Vol]

Man, I could go for some Big Dave's WIngs which they just showed in ATL.

 

[Septic]

Come on, if we've learned anything from these cases it's to wait for the truth to come out. The Brown case, rioting for a guy who it turns out caused his own death. All that for nothing, a low life punk who thought Deboeing people was okay until he tried the wrong one just going his job. Ruined his life and the life of the officer.

In this case the officer was clearly in the wrong, and equally clear it was being handled appropriately.

There have been just as many white people killed in situations just like the one that happened here. There is an issue with law enforcement practices, rioting solves nothing. Educating yourself, making smart decisions, self discipline. These values can be used to make changes, but all these values are missing in more and more of these younger generations coming up, of every race. And this is the result, very sad and even more predictable.

Not according to the most comprehensive study ever done on the subject in 2017.

Differences in the rate of physical altercations between police and black people under arrest can be adjusted for by crime type and racial likely hood to resist arrest.

And blacks are slightly less likely to be subject to lethal force than whites.

Take it up with the boomers at Harvard I guess. I'm sorry you find it shocking blacks aren't actually being hunted down and murdered in the streets en masse.

Why are they burning Atlass Staffing in Minneapolis? It doesn't affect their lives.
