Another bad apple (George Floyd case)

[Rickyvol77]

George Floyd wasn't innocent. This is his criminal record.

George Floyd wasn't innocent. This is his criminal record. : fakenews

I guess the “church leader” narrative from his family was BS. Shocker

There are multiple possibilities and pretending I know the answer would make me a conspiracy nutcase.

No, not pretending you know the answer... but finding out the truth or the most likely answer would make you one in some peoples' minds. But not me. I'm cynical about just about everything.

She's listening but its not helping

Lol Atlanta’s police department is well known for its issues

 

[Rickyvol77]

If you don't think there is disparity in LEO encounters with African Americans I don't know what to tell you.

I contend that the intensity is magnified by 2 factors: 1) the Aubrey incident and 2) pent up energy from the lock down.

This is no disparity. That’s a myth

The underlying topic of these protests is legit - the fact that people take advantage of it doesn't change that

What is the underlying topic? Cause I'm not seeing alot of big thinkers in these protests.

 

[Rickyvol77]

It's conspiracy level stuff right now, but I've heard people say it's a Soros plant and I've heard people say he's a cop, and I've actually seen text messages that are supposedly from his ex-GF saying it's him and they had a still of him in the gas mask next to him in uniform and the eyes did look similar. Let me see if I can find that shiz.

It’s just a normal Antifa guy

The police killed a man a few days ago named George Floyd. I think that was the catalyst.

Not so sure about that. ANTIFA goons run in packs. They don't run solo.

Yes, and he is under arrest. So what is the big topic brought forward with tonight's riots?

I dont see alot of anti lockdown protests after lockdowns are lifted.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Not so sure about that. ANTIFA goons run in packs. They don't run solo.

So why would a police officer do it. Just trying to follow your thinking

doesn't mean they can't - plenty of people could benefit from escalation.

Isn’t Leo encounters with African-Americans going to be different based on human nature..... I saw an interesting figure that took the police completely out of it..... between 2007 and 2016 260,000 African Americans were treated for non- fatal gunshot wounds compared to 77,000 white Americans..... wouldn’t the way cops deal with African-Americans go hand and hand with what is going on the communities.... I think fixing these communities that are so violent would go a long way towards fixing their interactions with police.

None of them want to discuss facts. There’s not a racist problem in America there is a culture problem and nobody will do anything about it for fear of being called racist.

sure, black people are treated just like white people across the board.

What do you mean? If Thomas Paine were alive today he would surely pose for a picture in front of thy burning Arby's.

Starbuck's is a closer analogy - dumping Chai tea

The governor of Minnesota just showed what leadership in a crisis looks like

Just like Cuomo, the D governor of MN is great. To hell with results, we like what he says.

Now they're calling for reform, and a change in policy. I tend to agree, under their failed leadership this happened. Time for reform, time for change. The same people who are key in creating and allowing these problems to manifest will fix it! How reassuring.

Any protests in Michigan? Whitmer would be pissed.

Sadly some of these folks are emboldened by the show of disrespect. It's really a microcosm of societal values and the breakdown of the family structure.

Same in Illinois with Pritzker

The actions of that guy were very suspicious... even for a rioter. Don't focus so much on whether it was a cop or not. That really doesn't matter as much as what this person did and how they behaved.

I've never been in a riot, but to me, I would think it would be a way to gather with like minded people... even if they are nihilists. So for a guy to just go to a situation like that, solo... and not talk to or communicate with anyone is very odd.

That one guy doing that would have me very worried about what the possibilities could be around the country. Could a handful of these guys scattered across the country instigate a riot in Omaha? Dallas? Nashville? Portland?

Oh, now someone wants to speak about the decay of values and the family. WTF have you been?
