If you were following along, I was one of the early posters in this topic, and did not consider this a matter of racism.....I saw it as a matter of police brutality, and still do.

The central park dog situation, that one I saw as racist.

I think Suff early on posted about how I feel about both these incidents, I shared his opinion at the time.

So maybe pick somebody else to direct your white perp/black perp posts to.


Besides the officer and perp knew each other from a previous situation, so that cleared it up in my mind. It may have been personal.

If calmer heads would have prevailed this wouldn't have happened. The local, state, and federal leadership failed. The leaders should have gotten out in front of this.

Agreed. (it's worth noting that the violence can be not only the result of black residents, but also of white anarchists, anti-fascists, white supremacists, and other subversive agents.)

Collateral damage is an unfortunate result of riots, war, and revolution.

Ghandi and Martin Luther King had the best strategy -- peaceful protests. However, it didn't end well for either of them.

I wonder if this is Hong Kong? What would have happened if bystanders in Minnesota would have rushed the cops like people did at this airport?

Black people in the United have been abused systematically by police in the United States since day one.

This incident is just pouring gasoline in the open wound of police brutality.

And this is an open and shut case of police brutality. 8 minutes and two when he was unresponsive.

You are shitting me. Right.

They are terrorists.
The two incidents are not really related.
The people who showed up to peacefully protest, yes, THEY are legitimate.

The night crawlers are nothing but animals and terrorists, seeking the opportunity for get free stuff and destroy stuff.

FOX had several on TV last night in front of the WH - not a one of them could answer a simple question as to why they were here. One of the ore simpler of the bunch said he was there to get justice. They told him the cop had been arrested and he looked even more confused and stupid than he did earlier, and yelled back, don't tell me 'bout that shit!

I don't give a rat's how anyone feels - you destroy other people's businesses, their lives, you are a terrorist and you should be treated as one.

They took over city streets, burned buildings, looted other people's businesses....YOU are kidding ME, right?

Nope. Who are the trying to terrorize? Police officers. Lol.

To be a terrorist, you must terrorize a population. Who exactly are the looters terrorizing?

This I gotta hear.

No, terrorist thrive on providing fear. You do NOT have to be in the actual moment to experience fear. Having your place robbed, fear of running into a mob on your way somewhere, fear of your business being burned to the ground, etc etc is ALL forms of terrorism.

Im still waiting for you to provide the actual quote of what Trump said that was racist.....
You know the "when the looting starts, the shooting starts"??

OMG, are you THAT Ignorant? All due respect, of course.

They were were terrorizing the people who live and work in the cities.
They were terrorizing CNN in Atlanta last night, trying to break into the studios.
They burned a post office and an bank.
If Al Qeda did that, YOU would be calling just angry people?

People who put their lives into their businesses were terrorized.

On TV today, a Fireman and his wife, - trying to salvage what they could from their not yet opened sports bar that was destroyed last night. Put all of his life's saving into the place. While they were there today in DAYLIGHT, several terrorists broke into the back door and tried to carry off the safe.

Guy and his wife - African Americans, a fireman.......but this was all a practical joke, right?

Man, yours is the stupidest post made here in over 20 years.

What message are the looters trying to convey here? That a free big-screen TV can soothe the anger that they feel as a result of this grave injustice?

This is one of the better pleas I have heard by a black community leader to stop the violence and looting.

Trouble is, they aren't listening,
And they have no excuse not to, now that they all have new TVs!

all of those arrested are not local. they are coming in from other areas. NSA has been tracking communications and FBI is going after these fascists. many are being paid to be there. the gov if MN has said there has never been such devastation in MN.

are you going? are you being paid to break stuff and steal?
