Minneapolis cops slowly murder handcuffed man in front of crowd

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

If this is anywhere near as pointless as the death of Eric Garner than this officer needs to be locked tf up.

Reminds me of Tea Party protests compared with early BLM demonstrations.

Is the implcation that cops should have set off tear gas in inside the literal state Capitol building during a legislative session over some maskless protesters? If its that the cops should not have gassed the Minnesotans then I agree.

Furthermore, when have Tea Party protestors blocked traffic or burned down the CVS in their own neighborhood? I’m very supportive of BLM, but their tactics are making it harder to sympathize.

Trump deserves part of the blame for stocking hate and division

Has anyone ever told you that police brutality existed before 2015?

Oh internet commies have already decided to shame two white men for working with minorities to protect an area!.
How dare they protest a cop killing but also oppose looting?
All I see here is confirmation they are just slightly weirdo Libertarians who have good intentions .

ATF and the Southern poverty lie center have been running hardcore warnings against the word "Boogaloo" of late so I'm not surprised. Hell, they made the Patriots kicker remove a tattoo for being too Boogaloo friendly.

All I wanna do is boogaloo!

Since I can't get the Facebook post option here to work (always "invalid link"), here is a screenshot of a Facebook post that encapsulates my feelings about what's going on.

More "white knights" are the last thing BLM needs right now.

Two things:

Firstly, how does a bunch of nasty little yobs running riot and smashing up their city advance the cause of equal treatment for black people?

Secondly, any quote that’s been cropped out of context, embossed on a black background and situated next to a solemn looking photo has probably been used and abused to the point at which it’s not worth reading anyway.

1. Never said it does- the riots are counter-productive and stupid. Focusing on the riots as anything but the legitimate vent of frustrations of police brutality is ignoring the problem and obfuscating on the issue of police brutality.

I mean, the second quote is a fair enough riposte to my second point, but as for the first there’s no evidence that many of the rioters give two hoots about police brutality. Treating these riots as some sort of legitimate response to one act of police brutality is foolishly condoning the worst kind of opportunistic criminality.

If anything, it's a combination of raw emotion, institutionalized racism in certain police departments (not ALL police departments), a cycle of poverty, and so on. I respect their mindset but these actions are just stupid and self-defeating. Professional antifa types (all of whom are purple haired -pansexual white kids) are a major factor in amping them up, as well as the media and racial arsonists like Al Sharpton.

I think its clear we need to separate Rioters/Looters/Protestors

Protestors are just normal peaceful people during the day peacefully protesting the murder.

Rioters are stupid and counterproductive but at least most people can agree there is justified anger against a police building and even if it shouldn't be destroyed there is some logic to this act. This could also be considered a violent protest

Looters are just greedy aholes who should all be arrested . This group often has intersection with Rioters due to the fires possibly.

I agree entirely with this post.

And for those of you saying that property destruction is pointless and just hurts your cause, I'd like this image to remind you of American history.

Are you saying Target should leave Minneapolis?

Ironically, I think the first Target store was in Minneapolis or Minnesota IIRC.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Why can't both be true?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Why can't both be true?

Yeah....but these are too very very different levels of repression. It would be unfair to make a moral equivalence (though I do not think you are doing that necessarily).

It isn't a moral equivalence, you're absolutely right about that part.

Yeah. And look where it has led us to.

Probably the dumbest thing I've ever read on this site. 

Have a counter punch better than that or are you just vomiting white guilt all over me instead?

At least there is some good news coming out of this.

Please tell me how a football player peacefully protesting police brutality has led to the situation we are in (more police brutality). 

Simple: he was an asshole about it and now rioters are acting like assholes. Did you not see them try to drag a woman out of her car? The cries of “kill whitey?”

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Yeah. You can stand for the flag and also protest. There's still a hell of a difference between him and these criminals.

The flag is a symbol, and I leave symbols to the symbol-minded.

God do I miss George Carlin.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I’m pleasantly surprised to see PM2 on the right side of an issue for once.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

What if we made a truce with the rioters? Instead of burning private property, could instead dump George Zimmerman right in the thick of the mob? Sounds like a fair trade to me.

CNN headquarters has been stormed by protesters.

Good thing it wasn't Fox News. Dobbs, Pirro, Carlson or Ingram might have been harmed.

Creepy post from a sinister poster.

Lol. I'm just saying, these rioters are ANGRY and those 4 have said hateful things about blacks whilst defending cops. It's not unreasonable to fear for their safety.

It seems as if you want that to happen, which doesn't surprise me.

America is broken

No it isn't.

Thus far, Minneapolis is pretty quiet.

CNN headquarters in Atlanta have been overrun (same building as a police station). Protestors being beaten violently in Brooklyn. Precinct in Brooklyn possibly was taken over. Protestors being driven over by cars in Bakersfield.

If a mob of angry people swarmed my car and started climbing on it, pulling on the door, or pounding on the window, than you can be damn well be sure I'd hit the gas pedal too. This was an aggressive attack on a driver who was not on a closed down street.

That's...not what happened.

I'm not talking about a cop. This was a civilian in Las Angeles.

The post you quoted was talking about people being run over in Bakersfield.

Is that where it was? I saw the video and it had been labeled as LA.

Where is this out of curiosity?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Atlanta is the capital of Black Capitalism, of course, it was going have a lot of people upset. It was also going to have a lot of people try to take advantage of the situation as well.

Is it? Why is Atlanta rather than DC or NYC?

I can't say why, but I've heard this line a few times before.
