I think there is a powder keg about to blow? The US is not stable and so many of the people there, are just looking for any excuse to let loose. I think they've found it? Law enforcement doesn't have a chance to control it, since it's their heads the people want to crush. It's going to be an interesting time....
I think that the cop in question should be behind bars - no doubt about it. What I am curious about is the video that is kicking around Floyd's arrest. I saw a longer video showing his walking away (hands cuffed behind his back) with a police officer and the next part of the video he is face down and a cop is kneeling on his back suffocating him. What happened between these two clips........seems to me that it was edited for a reason. Regardless of what Floyd may have done to end up face down on the ground is NOT an excuse for his murder but if we are looking at all the facts lets look at all the facts.
The point when protests get violent and looting occurs they should bring in the National Guard and restore order. The longer they let this go the harder it will be to stop it. By the looks of them it is not like any of them are heading to work Monday.
We have another protect in Toronto with people piggybacking on the US protests for the mentally unstable woman that jumped (or was pushed) from a 24 story balcony. SIU is investigating and they are already protesting in the streets - these are scary times.
I agree. Many are just looking for an excuse to cut loose down there. This could be a blood bath. Of course they will blame Trump for a white cop murdering a black man.Quote:

I don’t hear anyone blaming Trump for what the white cop did, but his lack of leadership certainly speaks volumes.Quote:

Every business owner needs to become the Roof Top Koreans like during the LA riots in the 1980's. The police cannot protect you..ever. they are too busy tear gassing and shooting people with rubber bullets at protests, and not dealing with looting.
Just to be clear, I dont ever condone looting or violence (those doing it are dishonoring George Floyds murder, and gives the police exactly the power they need), But peaceful protests are being dispersed with tear gas and rubber bullets.
It is happening in Canada also. we have instead our " Indigenous people " problem , they way they are treated by most in power starting with our Gov., and it trickles down to the way the coloured minority groups are handled/looked at.Quote:
