Plenty of Democrats have said this, including the mayor of Minneapolis.

Maybe they are awaiting autopsy results to confirm what actually caused the man's death? We are assuming that the cop kneeling on his neck killed the guy but if it turned out to be a heart attack, stroke or OD...what then?

The D mayor already said this. Posted several pages back.

Im a white conservative trump supporter, support cops, etc. Once I watched the video, I would tell anyone it's beyond disgusting

The black community is hurting themselves acting like this and rioting. Giving the media what it wants. Stop it!

"The black community" aren't the only people protesting...

True, but they’re the only ones looting.

Focusing on the looting = waving the confederate flag.

Did you get our your special tiki torches out on Memorial Day?

This is a weak statement.

The rioting and looting were a result of the reaction to this awful death.
They are hurting innocent business owners, destroying property, and causing the taxpayers of the city undue costs.

The police station and police cars that were damaged and destroyed? They'll be repaired and replaced - at the taxpayers expense.

Rioting and looting is just stupid and short sighted. Many were simply taking advantage of a bad situation. The people there who were protesting should speak out against these criminals.

The only criminals we really need to focus on right now are the killer cops.

Your continued focus on looting says a lot about you.

Really? Looting going on right now at the Target in Minneapolis.
When you come out to protest, and you start stealing stuff, you become a thief.
When you come out to protest, and you start burning stuff, you become an arsonist.
Thieves and arsonists are criminals.

The justice system will take care of the cops. Hopefully, the justice system will also take care of the criminals who are taking advantage of this situation.

Looting isn’t the issue here.
. . .

Really?

- what about all the sick people who depended on the pharmacy for their life-saving medications?
- how about those who depended on the Target minute clinic?
- and now the Target employees there are unemployed. For what?

Those looters just victimized countless innocent people right there in their own community.

But you don’t think it’s an issue at all??!?

+1000 There are consequences for innocent people who did nothing wrong. There is absolutely nothing high and mighty about looting and rioting. It's out of control mob behavior.

In response to an out-of-control racist police force who MURDERED someone because of the color of their skin.

The police "force" did nothing of the sort. Four officers were involved.
Do you have any idea how many officers there are in Minneapolis?

Bear in mind had bystanders not recorded this murder the entire police force would be insisting that the man died of a heart attack due to underlying medical conditions and that rumors of supposed police brutality were completely false. This is why people get so angry. Because believe it or not these abuses of power by law enforcement happen all the time and police forces always dismiss them as ridiculous allegations and they get away with those dismissals because THE COPS NEVER CONE OUT AND TELL YHE TRUTH. The only time these officers are ever held accountable for their abuses of authority is when there’s video evidence and even then most of the time they STILL GET OFF. This is why people get upset.

Really? How many times have you conducted internal reviews of law enforcement incidents, keyboard warrior? What you get your hands on via social media is not representative of what police officers do on a daily basis.Do you understand how the media works?

O.k so if some random guy gets shot by the cops in...say...Toledo, Oh....you are cool with some pissed off, frustrated person torching your house and destroying the business it took you 40 years to build? Are you sure you want to offer yourself up as someone else's punching bag like that?

A man died. Did you watch the video?

Then they release the cop.

He coincidentally had a stroke at the very moment a police officer had his knee on his throat?

GMAFB.

I’m sure they are in negotiation with the police union right now. If they arrest maybe that Trump police union guy is threatening to have them all go on strike.

Your conspiracy theory is rich. Stop deflecting from the facts.

Dial 911 they’ll say cops on the scene.

The fact is they haven’t made any arrests yet.

A dissent from the general condemnation was voiced by Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, who said, “Now is not the time to rush to judgment and immediately condemn our officers.

“We ask that the community remain calm and the investigation be completed in full,” Kroll added.

But police officials elsewhere said they had seen enough.

“There is no need to see more video. There is no need to wait to see how ‘it plays out,’” Chattanooga, Tenn., Police Chief David Roddy tweeted. “There is no need to put a knee on someone’s neck for NINE minutes. There IS a need to DO something. If you wear a badge and you don’t have an issue with this ... turn it in.”

Kroll is the racist Trump supporter heading up the police union.

You want people to be thrown in jail for murder before a murder has even been confirmed? Obviously, they did an investigation quickly enough to warrant their firings. Now they are building the criminal case.

But you can't criminally charge a person with murder until you know for a fact that the guy was murdered. Justice doesn't work that fast. That's the way lynch mobs work. Give the system a chance to work before you flip out and burn down your whole danged town.

Let's do an experiment. Why don't we have a grown man sit with his knee on your neck for 10 minutes, and see what happens, huh?

When I see a person gasping for air - I'm getting an ambulance - and I don't give a sh*t what color he is!!

Those bystanders have blood on theirs hands.

This is awful and inexcusable. Those individual police officers responsible AND those who stood by and did/said nothing to prevent this as it was happening should be held accountable and charged with murder. Period.


I won't, however, use this as a reason to generalize and condemn all police officers. Just like i won't condemn muslims or saudi arabians for the 911 attacks or condemn all white Christians for the Oklahoma City bombing. That literally makes no sense. There are bad cops. There just are. The solution is not to turn against police as a profession...but to hold them accountable for rooting out the evil within. I expect Christian ministers to condemn acts of terror committed "in the name of Jesus" as evil and wrong. I expect muslim imams to likewise condemn acts of evil committed by self-proclaimed followers of Allah. And I expect police officers EVERYWHERE to say "this is NOT who we are and these men should be charged and tried for murder." Don't let them hide behind the badge.
