Minneapolis cops slowly murder handcuffed man in front of crowd

Personally the Minnesota city department's reaction was adequate for me. It was immediate firing and was thrown to the FBI quickly.

What really should have been protested more aggressively was the case where a black man was arrested for defending himself and his girlfriend from a group of 4 cops home invaders executing a no knock warrant. It took 2 weeks for the prosecutors to drop charges and the cops haven't been touched.
This was the Louisville case and it disturbs me much more due to the absolute lack of reaction there .

I agree.  When cops enter the wrong house on a warrant, how is that not a home invasion?  They have no absolutely no right to be there.

I'm fairly sure all of us think this is an injustice and that police in the United States has to be reevaluated.  My question is, what steps can be taken to reduce this?  The arrest of the officers seems like a band-aid, not a long-term solution.

I understand that when people are desperate people will do anything and there certainly is a trend of police brutality, but it's hard to reconcile burning down a bunch of businesses with that.

I can't endorse the riots and obviously do not approve of them, but I think it is very telling that such a large proportion of the African-American community feels the need to riot.  Whether or not the number of blacks killed by police is significantly different from them as a proportion of the population seems irrelevant to me in this case, as there obviously is a belief that African-Americans (and the population at large) are being treated unfairly by the police.

While I wish this did not happen this way, now that it has, I hope it will be a wakeup call and that steps will be taken to prevent misuse of force in the future.

What exactly are you protesting at this point?

The guy is charged. Let the justice system play out.

Some people are know are protesting against police use of force in general.

Other people are just caught up in the riot, I assume.
