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.

No solution for this, unfortunately. Criminals rarely follow the legal process for obtaining a weapon, but hey they’re people too, right? A cop must be vigilant, but not afraid. A scared cop won’t last in most towns. Cops don’t often shoot the unarmed out of fear itself. These things usually happen when the subject refuses to follow simple instructions and moves suddenly or doesn’t keep their hands up and visible. They don’t know that the individual is unarmed, but if they act as if they have a weapon the officer must respond to protect themselves or others. Even unarmed criminals have a problem taking an order from a cop. Of course, none of this seems relevant to the Floyd case. It looks to me like a rogue cop doing exactly what training protocol says not to do. Another stands by and does nothing about it. Charges will be filed here, what they will be depends on the cause of death among other things.

Criminals with guns are what make cops jobs dangerous.

No, it doesn’t. A civilian is not an officer of the law. That’s how it is, and how it has to be. A case will be built against this officer, and I believe he will serve jail time. You don’t dismantle the required protections due to the actions of a rogue officer. A cops job is difficult enough as it is. The looters and rioters are just looking for an excuse for their lawlessness.

There is a separate process for officers acting under the color of law, yes. An investigation will ensue, and it appears certain to me the officer(s) will be charged. They must proceed carefully to put him behind bars. Don’t pretend that you, a civilian ( I assume) would get the same consideration here. If you don’t understand why there is a difference, I’m not sure where to begin but you need to look into it. As for the officer, he did not appear to act within the scope of his training, imo.I’m confident that the evidence supports this and he will be convicted. That process needs to play out, though.
