Yet it is just a very, very few bad cops (whose actions are denounced by all) that liberals and complicit media seize upon and paint all cops and all white folks as racists. These are actually very isolated incidents blown far out of proportion by media and protesters alike. But yes, it is just so easy to generalize against all law enforcement when the overwhelming percentage of them do a great job to keep us safe from the criminal element every day. How many of these “ protesters” sat idly by while the lives of millions were being upended by draconian lockdowns over a virus ? Probably very happy to collect their government handouts, but outraged over the action of a bad cop who was fired and already jailed for what he did. Are they now sympathetic with him because he wears a prisoner’s clothes and not a police uniform ? Is he now one of the “ good guys” ?

She oozes scum. Remember her proclamation to those who dare stand too close to each other ? They will be jailed! Meanwhile, actual criminals locked up in her city’s jail were set free. Now she’s supporting rioters and looters while spewing racist garbage.

Right? Also, Trump promptly denounced the actions of that cop. Has zero to do with the occupant of the White House

The man deserves kudos.

Precisely. A public tantrum is actually a mild term. Looters and rioters being celebrated by the msm, peaceful protesters who want to work for a living and have their freedoms were shamed and mocked for not “ social distancing” or wearing masks. Haven’t witnessed this level of stupidity in some time. I notice that the freedom seekers didn’t loot any Louis Vuitton stores or set buildings ablaze. These dill holes should be rounded up and forced to rebuild these areas for their sentence. There have been rumors at the street level as recently as last night. We shall see. I know what you mean, but I’ve changed my thoughts. I no longer consider such an outcome to be terrible.

It’s all about who made the kill. Unfortunately, many Caucasians are buying the b.s and have declared war on themselves.

Where were all these protesters when their own freedoms and ability to make a living were being trampled by tyrannical governors ? They were silent sheep. I saw very little protesting outside of Michigan. Yet here they are protesting and really mostly rioting states away from where a rogue cop’s actions resulted in one mans death. A cop who has been arrested and charged to boot. My goodness I never realized just how many losers there are in America. The secret service in Washington DC needs to exert more force on these knuckleheads.

Maybe, maybe not. Distance, wash your hands a lot and even your face. As long as they don’t get too close to Grandma or sneeze on her coffee cup it will be fine.

Can’t take what he says at face value all the time. I mean, how would he know ? Common sense says it’s not possible to know, and that goes for him, Obama or whoever. Politicians say things, we shouldn’t always take them as fact. Especially when it’s clearly opinion.

Yep. Remember, all Caucasian Americans are racist ;in fact the very country and it’s foundations are racist. This goes back 400 years, before the United States even came to be. The NY Times says so.

Peaceful protests vs looters and rioters. End of story. If you can’t see it, you’re blinded by CNN

Again, civilians are not acting under color of law nor do they have indemnification in use of deadly force in most instances. A full review is required before the proper charges can be filed and the cause of death will be 100% relevant to what that charge actually is.

Most seem to agree on some sort of distancing. Mask usage is another thing, but there would likely be some wearing masks and some not. It’s a free country ( for now anyway, lib Governors aside) and that’s fine.

Yep. A process must be followed because the individual to potentially be charged was not a civilian. This is obvious and doesn’t mean that an arrest won’t happen.

And those killings/ shootings go on every day with little outcry on a national level. Stores don’t burn and looting doesn’t happen. While this was not a shooting, the same still applies. Many or most care little about the justice they feign to demand, have little outrage but just a wish to virtue signal to the rest of us. They care only about who did the killing, not that a life was lost.

Can’t access this, but it’s WaPo and that’s liberal garbage. Trump urged calm at the start of Covid and not media induced hysteria. Bottom line: whatever Trump does, the LSM says he should have done the opposite.

Could be. A rogue cop could also be a muslim terrorist. It’s a big country with a lot of different types out there. Bottom line; they all have to follow the same rulebook.

Not sure what your point is here. Money and celebrity bring status and influence, but that’s a human creation and not relevant at all in this case. As long as crime exists, and Cops there are going to be incidents and confrontations. Some will end in death. That is not preventable as far as I know. When rogue cops act outside the scope of their training, they will be punished with criminal charges. Protests are fine, until they become violent and violent acts such as arson and looting are indefensible.

On its own, it most certainly is. There appear to be major deviations from any use of force training manual found in any P.D. in America. There’s nothing systemic about that. It’s a big country with many Police departments and incidents of improper action will arise. Especially with the volume of Police / citizen interactions on a daily basis. If the conduct is deemed improper, excessive or unlawful it will be punished. That looks to be the case in the Floyd incident, but it must take it’s course. Doesn’t look like it has anything to do with race, either. Kaep is no expert.

So money = privilege ? Celebrity = more attention. Welcome to the real world, full of human failings. As for the rest , no process caused any of these results. All results of acts by humans. Some definitely criminal, one very possibly criminal.

There is nothing systemic about the actions of the officer in the Floyd incident. That’s an overused b.s buzzword.

Look, the proper system is being followed. An officer acted under the color of law. There is a process for this, and it’s a necessary one. Cops are not 007’s. They have certain indemnifications in the use of force, including deadly physical force if certain conditions are met. That protection is necessary to perform the job as described. It is not , however absolute. The actions must be fully investigated to determine if charges are warranted and exactly what those charges will be. That takes a little time. It would obviously take less time if the incident involved two civilians and not an officer of the law. Procedures must be followed if this is to result in the desired outcome of a conviction. Because those rioters are violent criminals. They don’t care about the businesses or the issue.

What is the main reason? Guns ? Belief that one’s own life is in danger ? Belief that the subject is reaching for a weapon? I’m not sure what the it is that you are referencing here.

Sure, spacing and whatnot.

Attendance is optional, so masks for attendees should be as well. Just my opinion, and others will differ.
