Just like K kneeling was not about the flag but about police abuse.

Would you like this better? equal police treatment?

That will be the day it will be okay for black cops to hold their knees on white wingers for eight minutes until they are well dead.

Wrong is wrong, give it up, it is this defense of actions like this that needs to change.

And the people responsible for allowing this to happen should be held accountable - don’t you agree?

I regret to say we didn’t see what took place behind the car. Some witnesses reported they has told Floyd to just get in the car so, Apparently he was resisting arrest.

To be honest , it doesn't matter if he was resisting !! The minute Floyd said "I can't breathe",it should of been over!!!Period !!!

Do you ???

If you look at the photos of the protests you would know that is not true.

This is about how cops abuse certain folks. Specifically in this case an inability to recognize murder being committed by one of their own.

all white against all black is the way you choose to see these events.

And all you choose to see is "cops abuse certain folks". That is a bigoted comment. That is just the same as saying 'all blacks against whites'.

No it isn't. The powerless are always abused more than those with power. Who is going to get beat up during a raid for illegal immigrants in a factory? The employee or the employer?

Great points but few listen.
Justice for George yes, but justice for the cops involved which could mean prison or worse.
NOTE: this all happens as an election is coming up. George, virus, riots, moves to disband police, etc. How convenient for Biden, Pelosi, China, et al.

Then why do you blast Trump for who he was way back when he was a demorat?? Again, you are not consistent in your text matetial or morally consistent in your moral values. In fact, you never did answer my question as to where do you get your moral values from? Why is racism wrong but the murder of babies not wrong? Why do black lives matter but white lives don't matter? Why do blacks riot over a few deaths of blacks by whites but won' t address their exorbitant death count of black on black murders? Why won't blacks address the #of black aborted babies? Do their lives matter? Why won't blacks address the # of professional athletes that are sexual asssulters, wife and girlfriend beaters, drug users, 10 children from 10 different women? Why is the black community silent on no men around to raise unruly kids, troubled kids, kids on drugs? So where di you get yoyr morak values from Woody? The NY Crimes (Times)?

Selective outrage. There are those with power who do not abuse the powerless; many try to help - yet you choose not to see those.

There are those who are diligently trying to prosecute entities that hire illegal aliens. I agree that much more emphasis needs to be placed on this but there are many, many hurdles.

Selective outrage on your end too, as I never said all powerful folks abuse all powerless. Never said all cops are bad, nor all whites evil....none of that.

Rumor out of DA office in MN is family is wanting to settle death by cop for $50 M. Seems to correspond to the amount of celebrating the family is doing.
Fox reporting the 2 men had run ins and cop was deathly afraid of black people. No excuse for cop or stand and watch cops. However, current charges might only yield 4 year sentence. Unconfirmed, but I did read that after charges were increased.
