The rioters took the 3rd District police station, the cops abandoned their position, fled, and then the rioters burned it down.
Trump needs to send in the National Guard and they need to start shooting to kill the looters, arsonists, and rioters. WTF? This is unacceptable. How many guns are now in the hands of the rioters? What was in the evidence locker? Now all these rioters are high AND armed. How is this allowed to continue? |

I would not have flinched if someone would have used deadly force on that cop with his knee on his neck. That being said the rioting and looting of your own neighborhoods is beyond stupid.

Then there's this little WTF...
George Floyd Worked Security with the Cop Who Killed Him A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year. George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek Chauvin both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, according to Maya Santamaria. Santamaria owned the building for nearly two decades, but sold the venue within the last few months. Santamaria says she did not recognize either one of her security guards in the video showing Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck not far from where they used to work. “My friend sent me (the video) and said this is your guy who used to work for you and I said, ‘It’s not him.’ And then they did the closeup and that’s when I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s him,'” Santamaria said. “I didn’t recognize George as one of our security guys because he looked really different lying there like that.”

*If there is truth to what is printed here; Chauvin should not have been a LEO anymore.

I didn't read any of the above comments.
Hubs is an LEO for 30 years. He said this was a clear case of murder. There are strict rules for restraining suspects for good reason. Larger people do poorly when placed in the prone position with arms behind back and having any weight placed on neck or back, have a higher likelihood of experiencing respiratory distress. Plain and simple, once this man was cuffed and restrained, the actions of that officer were inexcusable. I am the first to support an officer or ask for ALL the information to be gathered before making a judgment. But in this case, no matter WHAT happened prior to the 7 minute video of him NOT resisting while being handcuffed ..... really doesn't matter. It was murder. |

True but what did happen between that video and the one showing him on the ground does matter. Did he get combative or aggressive resist? The full story is not known. Need to wait for the video between those two already shown to surface. There has to be a reason why it has not. Someone has it. |

They're too poor to pull off another Oklahoma City bombing so they do what they can to retaliate against the Nazis that murdered that guy.
Sad but true, it's a bad situation all around. People bitched about Colin Keopernick knealing, and now they're appalled by the burning and looting. What would you suggest people do ? I'm not picking on you, so don't take it that way... Just saying. |

Now, had this guy tried to take an officers gun or been a continued threat, they could have shot and killed him. That was not the case. The looters are another story. Protesting is fine, rioting——- no. |

If I was a LEO, I'd be totally pissed at those cops.
A few bad apples hurts the entire LEO community. What they did in 5 minutes will take years to repair. It's difficult enough for cops to earn a positive image from the community, then another incident like this comes along. |

There’s a time and place for everything. Cuffed behind your back and can still access a LEO’s gun ? Do you realize how stupid that sounds ? Every cop carries a non lethal form or restraint, be it a PR24 or tazer. Knee to the back of the neck for several minutes is inexcusable. |

Tim said, "I would guess that officer has had issues like this previously" and low and behold, coming to light is evidence he was a supervisors nightmare. |

Now, having said all that, what we saw was indefensible. I'm big and heavy like the dead guy. I think it would take a real effort on my part to be able to roll over, sit up, and stand up, all with my hands cuffed behind my back. It begs credulity that this guy could have done that, and even if we go with "well, he was talking so he was breathing narrative, the moment he pissed himself, it was clear he was tapped out. Our man didn't let up though, even after that. Having said that, the looters, arsonists, and rioters need to be dealt with. Somebody needs to take control, order martial law, a nighttime curfew, and have National Guard willing to open fire on looters, people throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails, etc. Beyond that, emergency laws need to be in place to allow people to defend their businesses....scratch the duty to retreat for the duration of the emergency. And I mean live fire, not rubber bullets, tear gas, or warning shots. The instigators need to be taken out; order needs to be restored. |
