Right about what? Anyone who believes Chauvin's actions played no role in Floyd's death ain't firing on all cylinders.

For how long now has the "white cop vs black suspect encounter" been under the microscope? Considering the unprecedented volatility of our political and cultural environment today and past experience with encounters such as this, seems to me that police officers everywhere should, by now, understand that failing to exercise proper restraint when dealing with a compliant suspect of a different race could easily inflame the racial divide.

And, lookee what happened. This makes the Rodney King riots look like a Boy Scout jamboree.

In this case, it is especially troubling to see cops treating a man suspected of committing a non-violent white collar crime and who was apparently drunk and compliant as if he had committed armed robbery. Appears to me Chauvin and his 3 comrades aren't too bright.

We will never know now whether or not Floyd knew the bill was counterfeit.

I am watching live on Fox the line of National Guard in Minneapolis. They are near the wrecked precinct I think .


Black people are strutting back and forth waving camera phones in the faces of law enforcement who weren't even present during or responsible during Floyd's murder.

And there are creepy white people who look like Fringe lunatics fronting and making gestures and menacing the national guard.

What's that got to do with Floyd murder?

Why don't they just wait for the investigation!

They say hundreds of businesses were looted. Oh that's Intelligent.

All that's missing is a Prince music video of the violence.

"When Doves Cry....

....


"Why do we scream at other..."

I'm sorry to say the scenes of opportunistic looting and people getting off on menacing officers is making me less sympathetic.

The first night of the looting I saw a guy in the Target, running toward the camera. He was looting and didn't have a mask on. He was stealing... A king set of SHEETs.

That's a dark joke innit?

Maybe that cop had had too much up-against-it time on the job with ungrateful felons waving "don't shoot" in front of him.

I'm not in sympathy with the murderous basterd. But the mob has furnished him with a viable court strategy for the defense.

"Look your honor. This is what can happen at any moment. Is it any wonder I cracked under pressure, ?"

all this rebellious and cusp-of-violence feeling is what fed into that. They shredded the police station. That is just making a defense attorney's job sooooo much easier.


Maybe some portion of the thug threat played In to the cop's attitude. (I would have never thot that before but after seeing people were wrecking their own cimmunity...

And that Minneapolis mayor is weak. He should have called in the natl guard the minute they saw that video. Spinning it on Trump is ridiculous.

And when the MN governor will ask for emergency disaster money for all the ruined businesses OUR tax money will pay for this glut of opportunistic zeal.

Maybe experience with thugz like these amped the cop up too much and created an overkill mentality.

People watching him, cameras made him hyper aware... Him and those other guys were getting nervous...

The whole thing is overkill.
( With respect no pun intended)
