Protests following the killing of George Floyd

This is brilliant
Atze is by some distance the scummiest poster on here. And I will take whatever sanction comes my way for that.
He clearly holds all kinds of racist views and dresses them up in flowery language to hide them. I'd much prefer if he just came out and said what he really thinks. Its why I preferred Aussie racism to British racism. At least the Aussies were racist to your face and you immediately knew where you stood.
I don't really know why the thug word got so much debate in the end tbh. Not because it isn't race baiting (imo it is) but because in this instance, who cares? Racist man posts something which can be racist to his followers, many of whom are are also racists.
Its all so heart breaking and it is even more heart breaking that you just know no real change will come out of it.
Aye, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s has presented a golden opportunity for her to get the hell out of that relationship.
I watched that 10 times, it's like something out of Dragon Ball Z!
Sadly not an unlikely outcome, I agree.
But I think these kinds of protests/riots have to be done in any case. It seems like the only way to make any kind of impact on an intolerable situation for people who are otherwise powerless as scattered individuals. And with totally insufficient protection by and representation within the institutional system.
There's no guarantee at all it will lead to a change for the better. But if these people want to have any chance for a change, it goes like this imo. I can also imagine there's a feeling of empowerment and temporary release, after being forced to passively witness and endure these things for far too long. Bless them.

So so sad this.
Would like to know how many of the perpetrators of this list actually got held accountable for these heinous acts.
Thanks for posting the video. He speaks a lot of sense so eloquently.
This is not just an issue of the colour of a person's skin or pointing fingers in the direction of the USA. It is also very apparent in countries where minorities are treated inhumanely due to their religion, caste, status, etc... It's mental torture to be humiliated at airports, by the police, and authorities treating you with contempt even in the birth of your own country and I say this from personal experience. You need to live this daily to even realise the seriousness of the situation on your mental wellness.
So much of this is now ingrained in the psyche of people over time that it has become second nature to automatically make generalisations and point fingers. It is a massive problem around the world and its something the world needs to focus on more than many other issues affecting the world.
If it is a crime to burn the American flag then what a crackpot nation.
Its certainly symbolic of how a large part of America feels about the country right now.
A 19 year old was killed while attending the protest in Detroit:

Oh , @Port Vale Devil has already mentioned it, I somehow missed it:

To be fair, i agree with @Carolina Red here. In the first part of your first post about the matter, you looked like you were jumping to conclusions or at least, the formulation of your post suggests that. You did not even wait for an answer to your first question before starting to give your opinion on one of the potential answers to that question.
You also finished your post by stating "That is fine - he wasn’t being hateful" before even having all the facts which is the definition of jumping to conclusions.
Not sure what it is about him, but always find hes a very engaging talker.
That's not good at all. Hopefully they find whoever that was soon. Guns into the mix is a big escalation.
Yeah I take your point. While I tried to acknowledged in my post that I'd possibly missed something, I accept that it could be read that way.
Edit: Though if you read my later posts, you'd see I was only discussing the worst case. I readily acknowledged I hadn't trawled through earlier posts.

Same as yours. The only really strange bit is about intoxicants. They would have sent off a blood sample so should have a definitive answer. If they’re waiting for a lab result, why mention intoxicants at all? Unless, maybe, there was a smell of alcohol off him? Either way, seems wrong to me to release details of an autopsy that isn’t complete.

Replies saying it’s from riots in Lebanon. Makes sense. Much less likely to see sweet technique like that from an American.
The more I watch the video the more pissed I get at the asian cop standing guard while his partner kills the man. If he isn't charged with anything, I hope he has to clean toilets for the rest of his life to make a living.
Damn,that Killer Mike speech. Love that guy.
Somebody in the comments said that IS the EMT's uniform, and the reason they wear vests is sometimes they are targeted or attacked in "high danger" zones.
I can only assume maybe because there was cameras filming and upset people around they decided to just get him in the ambulance ASAP and try to work on him in a private area. It all does seem a bit fishy though, the ambulance sure did turn up quickly? almost like they called him ahead of time, or they were there waiting to scoop him up once he had passed. It's just a really horrible situation.
Anyone watching this unfold and feeling angry and powerless about the situation please consider a contribution to one of the charities fighting this and similar causes. If you have a paypal account it's super easy at https://www.naacp.org/, donate at the top. It takes less than 3 minutes, and the smallest of amounts can help (obviously these are trying times for loads of people, only donate whatever you can spare).
I'm not a hugely charitable person the rest of the year but this shit makes me so fecking angry it feels good doing anything I can, even if it's just a tiny contribution.

Those are Minneapolis EMS uniforms.
Clears that up..I wasnt sure and didnt want to jump to conclusions
Is twitter down for people? Trump turned it off?

They do look like Sheriffs uniforms and for me it's a bad idea.
Talks a lot of sense. I'm usually not too fond of portraying society as a "social contract", but even that makes sense in the way he puts it.
He’s a very intelligent and eloquent man, that’s a powerful analogy he makes and it’s a shame it probably won’t be seen by enough of the people that need to hear it.
Like I said in an earlier post, the officers complicit to these acts, like the ones present while this happened, should face just as severe consequences. They should be fired and barred from ever serving in police forces again.
Made the mistake of starting to read the comments on that 2nd video.
Where did all this come from? Carolina Red is one of the soundest mods on here
With all the conspiracy theorists saying it’s all fake? Yeah, me too.
Let me guess, Democrat false flag hoax?
