Nothing good to say about the police action and Mr. Floyd.
But how much of these riots and violence have anything to do with that.....or is it just a
way to loot and steal.
Its just a way to loot and steal at this point! Install brush/cattle guards on the police vehicles and plow these rioters in a corner and arrest ever one of 'em Originally Posted by winn dixieInstalling Brush and Cattle Guards and running over rioters is a little harsh.
I don't see how anyone can watch that 8 minute video and not be pissed off. Protesting is warranted. What is happening in some of these cities is not. Originally Posted by boardmanCouldn’t agree more bm......Legitimate protesting is definitely warranted....looters and opportunist exploiting the situation to incite violence and vandalize should be arrested or shot on site if compliance is not met....
Floyd's private funeral will be here on June 9. A public viewing will be held on the 8th. All eyes will be on Houston. Originally Posted by boardmanLet’s hope Houston doesn’t fuck it up.....

Originally Posted by boardmanI agree that the police behavior was despicable warranting legitimate protest.

Mixed in with the legitimate peaceful protestors, there are violent protestors, anarchists, looters, right-wing hate groups, ANTIFA, etc.
You're correct Italia the video is horrible. Nauseating. Inhuman. IMO, the officer knew he was killing Floyd and wanted to make it so he was not reviveable.
Why? My guess is racism played some part but reports are that they worked at the same nightclub for years.

But I will say
I hope nothing bad happens.
There's too much racism and hate in the world and never will understand why.
It's such a sad situation.
I cried when I saw the video.
Lost for words with a heavy heart.
That video of him begging for his life and screaming for his momma traumatized me!
Why didn't anyone intervene!!!
