    The Minneapolis police department murdered George Floyd after an attempt to arrest him over counterfeit money that was reported by an Arab shopkeeper in the city. A police patrol rushed to the store and arrested Floyd, who was killed on the spot after a patrol member pressed the victim's neck with his knee for eight minutes despite the screaming of the victim that he couldn't breathe. But George Floyd is not the first person to be killed in that terrible way, strangled to death. Erik Garner, an unfortunate African American, was killed in an area of New York City after he was strangled to death by a member of a police patrol on charges of selling illegal cigarettes.


    But we return to the George Floyd case, as he isn't the first black American to die in Minneapolis because of police brutality. Philando Castile is a black American who was shot in 2016 by a police officer in his car in front of his girlfriend and his four-year-old daughter. The shooting incident of Philando Castile was filmed by his girlfriend, as it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was shooting for no reason. The problem is that these are not murders, but cold-blooded executions where police officers are acquitted and rarely receive any prison term or layoffs.


    Another case of police brutality in Minneapolis, police officer Mohammed Noor was sentenced to 12 and a half years for his fire at Justine Damond, a white American of Australian descent after she reported to the emergency service an assault on a woman in a narrow street behind her home. The justice system is racist and selective, even when a policeman in the city of Minneapolis received jail time, he was African American, and the victim was a citizen of white Australian descent.


    US President Donald Trump immediately reacted to the incident through his favorite tool, Twitter. He threatened looters and rioters with bullets. This led to mark his tween as violent content. Donald Trump was angered and threatened to take steps against social media sites, especially Facebook and Twitter. Surprisingly, according to the testimony of some residents in videos that circulated on YouTube, some unidentified people are not residents of the cities or areas where looting took place. What is the identity of the mobs and looters? Even they broke into one of the main police stations in the city and destroyed its contents while the police officers fled with their cars from the back of the building.


    The participants in the looting were of different ethnic groups, although people of African descent predominated in some areas. I haven't and won't be a supporter of mobs and chaos in any country. These events provide the wicked opportunists with a golden chance to perform their sick deeds. Now the US President threatens to send the Army, National Guard, and Special Police Forces (SWAT), which are paramilitary forces, have good armament and use armored vehicles. And if there is resistance, he will send special forces and helicopters. The murder of George Floyd is certainly horrific. The police officers who participated must be held accountable. However, the solution for the government's lack of response isn't chaos, property looting and burning.

    With protests, it's kinda a mixed bag. I don't support blocking roads as a form of protests. Other than that, I support their right to protest even if I don't fully agree with everything they're protesting about like #8cantwait. Riots I wholeheartedly disagree with and they should be quickly subdued.

    There has been relatively little rioting and looting. And that was often identified to be the work of known local gangs and criminals. The vast majority have been peaceful protests.

    The crackpot rw media has been hyping the rioting as if cities were burning down. But there has in fact been very little. Compared to real riots, this is nothing. It just seemed like a lot because the reaction was not only nationwide, it was global.

    This last sentence is self contradictory, global refers to something big. The rioting was one thing but more people died in those riots than the person who died in police custody. The totals in property damage will run into the billions but the real cost is we are even more divided now than ever, so the organizers and agitators succeeded and will do all they can now to increase the hate and discord.

    Apparently there are still those who think that it is a good idea if the police harass and kill other members of society.

    I live there and your post is bullshit. Well over two hundred businesses damaged. Estimates between $500 million and one $Billion. Do your homework before commenting on what you know nothing about.

    I think the entire idea of protesting, much less looting and rioting, over mass, systemic police brutality is completely absurd given that it doesn’t exist.

    Excessive force complaints against police happen in .005% of all police interactions. Which means that it doesn’t occur 99.995% of the time.

    How much lower can it go? I mean that’s pretty damn close to perfect.

    If I was in a protest/march and saw some members looting or burning I would run away like the wind. To stay and "just watch" makes you part of the unlawful destruction. To stand around and do nothing you become a part of "safety in numbers". You are abetting a crime. So don't tell me a majority of the protesters are peaceful.

    Most times when the police stop and harass someone, complaints are not filed. Because who would you file them with? The police.

    The problem is that in the poisoned minds of the participating youths this is not only justified but just sooo cool. I think the vast majority of those protesting especially economically comfortable white kids this is less a moral commitment but an opportunity to make the scene so to speak, a pop culture event. The fist pumping reminds me of the idiots waving their phones with the flashlights on at an entertainment event. It isn't about approval of the event but mindless lemming like behavior. You are spot on in saying being a witness to crime and not acting is criminal in itself but to these idiots it is voyeuristic entertainment. This is where we are in our culture now, an inner city tragedy becomes a massive spectacle that subversive groups use to draw in ignorant children and indoctrinate them in their hateful deranged philosophies.

    "mindless lemming" -- an apt description. There are even a few on the PF. My advice -- Don't ever let anyone think for you.

    Should a police officer arrest a bank robber? Should he be able to shoot him if he decides to shoot at the officers or the hostages?

    I disagree with you. Paid mobs are moving from town to town, rioting and looting.
