NBC Dictates that the Minneapolis Riots Should Not Be Called ‘Riots’

But I’d have to say that NBC truly had the take that was perhaps most through the looking glass.

NBC reported they would not be describing this as “riots” but protests.

Hmmm.....I mean is there some underground camera angle that shows something different?

The video is disturbing, and policy wasn't followed. But at this point we do not know what the cause of death was. Anyone saying they do is jumping to a conclusion which is easy to do with disturbing video. But I we should wait for the medical examiner to rule if they haven't already. That will be the determination in whether it not the ex-officer will face criminal charges.

The guy was clearly on something. A normal person would've been out in a few seconds with a knee to the carotid. Probably just trying to keep him from hurting himself and assumed blood flow was okay because he was still squirming and hollering.

How does destroying/burning the property of people/business that have no affiliation with the actions of one police officer and looting said people/business have anything to do with “protesting”. This is just rioting and looting.

And y’all wonder why less people are trusting of the media?

To quote Sgt. Lincoln Osiris here may be the most appropriate response.

I agree with the OP that it’s more than just a few bad apples. Police brutality is a very serious issue that needs addressing.

But there’s two issues that get in the way:

1. I don’t have any actual solution (end no knock warrants and road blocks, but that’s not as much related to this). I would love to hear any you may have.

2. Making these issues into racial issues without evidence only further divides us and prevents us from being able to take care of issue 1.

I think a major issue that results in turning decent people/police officers into the problem is as follows.

1) High stress job- self explanatory

2) Overworked, not enough officers to do the job effectively which adds to number 1.

3) The public is getting less and less respectful and people are just more difficult to deal with. Just my opinion.

4) public distrust of police, this is a chicken vs egg argument in my opinion. Some of the public will tell you it's because of police attitude, the others will tell you the opposite. Whatever side you fall on is inconsequential, w we all need to find a way to fix it but events like the one in MN sure as hell don't help anything.

Amy Klobuchar Previously Declined To Prosecute Officer In George Floyd’s Death Despite Complaints Of Violence

Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar declined to prosecute the police officer at the center of George Floyd’s death during her time as a state prosecutor in 2006, new reports show.

Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derick Chauvin, who can be seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck before his death was involved in the shooting and death of a man who stabbed numerous people before a confrontation with the police, according to The Guardian.

Klobuchar, who then served as the Hennepin county attorney, decided not to prosecute Chauvin and the other officers involved in the shooting, leaving the case to a grand jury, which later declined to charge the officers. (RELATED: Officer Who Knelt On George Floyd’s Neck Has History Of Complaints)

Discussing Floyd’s tragic death with Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins on “CNN Newsroom,” Baldwin began to weep after acknowledging the “emotions” she was feeling while listening to Jenkins.

“There are so many emotions,” said Baldwin. “As I’m sitting here listening to you, I’m having my own — I’m surprised at my own emotions on TV with you. But I just, as a white woman, aware of my own privilege in this country, I am so angry, and I can’t even begin …”

My conspiracy theory buddy sent this to me. It appears it's a cop breaking glass and the civilians call him out.
