Another bad apple (George Floyd case)

[NashVol11]

Ok show me examples of someone being in prison just for a joint and no other criminal activity

Did you sleep through the entire 90s or something?

LOL at blocking traffic being “violence” now

Nash, it will quickly turn violent if the blockee gets tired of being held hostage under threat of violence

The white supremacist claim seems far fetched, and is a RACE CARD the democrat governor and mayor of Minnesota are using to excuse there blatant incompetence and their failure to protect the citizens and property of their state and cities.

I can honestly say that the white supremacist claim may be a stretch. The cartels though? I can see the cartels and other groups being active.

So ignore his heart issues huh? Also, U would like to hear your opinion about how idiotic black people have been acting.

Is it all the black people? Are the white, hispanic, and asian protesters nonexistent?

Just trying to get you to clarify before jumping right in with, "You're a ****ing racist for saying that." This one might top your infamous airplane gaffe.

Just asking for one example. No one gets puts in prison just for having a joint but you falsely make it sound like 90% of prisoners are that.

Black people tried that very strategy for 100 years after slavery and it took civil unrest and upheaval to achieve desirable goals in the 1960s. Nonviolent protests also played a role, but in general, govt doesn't respect nonviolent protesting. The people in Michigan found that out and they showed up peaceably with guns in the statehouse.

The non violent protests didn't work? Really?

I guess I don't remember the Black Panthers holding a gun to George Wallace forcing him to ban segregation.

You have a ****ed up sense of how things change. Nonviolent protests over racist laws being met with violence by the police. That is what won over the country. Almost word for word the opposite of what is happening now.

Why did you put quotes around violence? He didn't say it was violence. You are doing fake news wrong.

You don’t have a right to block traffic . Eventually it will turn violent from either the blockers or the blocked. It stupid and just asking for violence to happen .

Trying to hinder and aggravate people who don’t give a s*** about you having free time to stand in the road, with your faux outrage, over some bs cause isn’t being peaceful. The sad part is you cry when they get ran over. My parents taught me not to play in the streets at a very young age. Guess that goes back to another separate but probably related issue.

Black Culture is THE biggest enemy of black people, and has been for centuries. Until it changes, they will generally not be fully assimilated into American society. MLK knew it and spoke about it.

Exaggerate much? The black community, and in particular the family unit didn't disintegrate until after the 1960's. Hell, in either 1880 or 1890 census, recently freed blacks from slavery had a higher marriage rate than whites.

Govt social programs, liberalism and ultra-feminism starting in the 1960s destroyed us.

We can all agree there are morons of all races.

He has a point, the Civil Rights Act got fast-tracked more because of riots in Birmingham and the fear of civil war than because of peaceful protests. Voting Rights Act too, tbh

100%

BoT, however, seems to think it's just black folks right now.

Nobody needs to block traffic for any reason.

Newsflash, you can protest without blocking traffic, burning buildings, or stealing stuff. JFK showed how its done.

Nobody has been afraid of a civil war since the 1800s.

You don’t have a right to block traffic . Event my it will turn violent from either the blockers or the blocked. It stupid and just asking for violence to happen .

In large part he is right. I’ve seen some of all races protesting but I’ve only seen one race looting and vandalizing. Portland doesn’t count.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

I don't think an officer should "knee" or "boot" someone anywhere once the cuffs go on. With that said the autopsy shows he didn't die from that, still doesn't make it right.


On a separate note, why didn't we burn down America over this???

White people dying from cops doesn't fit the media narrative, that is why.

So instead of being angry at black people, why don't you direct your anger at the media for being biased? Or better yet... why don't you direct your anger to the entity actually responsible for his death, which would be the cops?

Serious question. What tangible changes are being advocated with these protests?

 

[0nelilreb]

Reginald Denny says hi.

Don’t stop for people trying to block you in and stop you . If they want inside my cab with me they will have to earn it the hard way , I’m not going to help them accomplish their goal .

As I said before the eyes see what they want to see. That recent video of the LEO's being dragged through the streets in Chicago, you can clearly see a large chunk, if not the majority of those doing it are white or hispanic. Front page of Reuters this morning showed a group of people tipping over a riot van... half of them were not black.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Are you really trying to argue that blocking traffic and hitting cars isn’t violent?

When they block traffic, start hitting on a car and the driver shoots someone because they feared for their life there will be another thread instantly started to show their outraged on Volnation.

I know a guy getting murdered by the police is pretty bad, but I'm more concerned with people making this racial.

Your reading comprehension sucks. I never said nonviolent protests didn't work.

Nonviolent protests also played a role, but in general, govt doesn't respect nonviolent protesting.

That is what I said. Don't place words in my mouth.

I guess I don't remember the Black Panthers holding a gun to George Wallace forcing him to ban segregation.

Hey, but you do remember those gun toting protesters in Michigan storming the statehouse and getting the governor to double down on her unconstitutional state lockdowns, don't you? Again, your reading comprehension sucks. In general and especially today, govts do not respect peaceful protests. That has been shown to us time and time again.

You have a ****ed up sense of how things change.

I admit, it is a very f*#cked up view. I will not argue that point with you. It is not one that I enjoy having, but it is reality. Govts, at least the govts in the USA, do not respect nonviolent protests. it doesn't matter if you are leftwing or rightwing protesters. The Bundy protesters brought guns to the rally and the govt backed down. But now the govts are hip to that strategy and are now willing to call your bluff and test you to see if you really do want to have an armed exchange. The Michigan protesters should they didn't really want that smoke.

Nonviolent protests over racist laws being met with violence by the police. That is what won over the country. Almost word for word the opposite of what is happening now.

The nonviolent protesters also took on more casualties because of that strategy, while the opposite side suffered very few if any. That isn't a sustainable strategy.
