If you haven't seen, a black man named George Floyd was detained by Minneapolis police and died while an officer had his knee placed on the back of his neck. Following links are NSFW. Video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6XAY0uKb2A&bpctr=1590647951 The police claimed that George Floyd was arrested after defrauding a business through forgery and resisted. This has prompted protests which quickly turned violent in multiple cities. U.S. President Donald Trump reported that the Justice Department will be taking a look through an FBI investigation - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265774767493148672Here are some clips of the rioting - Lady gets assaulted while defending a Target from getting looted. U.S. Bank gets looted.California Highway Patrol Officers Attacked.Entire Target Store looted.I'm not sure what the purpose of looting is nor do I see violent protests ever bridging the racial divide. The FBI is involved in an investigation so it's not like this matter is being brushed off. Violent protests across multiple U.S cities is reminiscent of the LA riots in 1992 or the Ferguson Missouri riots. Definitely looks like an overuse of force by the video and I imagine the officer that was involved will face some sort of charges. The Minneapolis police has fired the 4 officers that were involved in the arrest. Rioting is sheer stupidity and seems to always be the knee jerk reaction.

I am not black but I understand their pain and fear for their lives on how they are treated . The man was killed because of such a simple crime and there was no hard evidence for the crime while the other criminal who murder 9 people was arrested peacefully? But I also agree that some are using this as excuse to loot on others and I also doesn't get the point of it.

I'm gonna guess that people doing the looting are not particularly concerned about bridging the racial divide and people trying to protest peacefully underestimated the ability of a few shitheads to turn it violent.

Violent protests and looting will only create more problems and get more people hurt, if not killed. I can understand the reason for the protests and that the four officers need to be charged to court; so let the protesters allow the law to take its course. Because the police would not sit back and watch properties destroyed, people attacked, plus the looting going on, they'll take action, and things are not getting better this way.
The protesters can show their support for George through nonviolent protests or on their social media handles to seek justice, but definitely not by looting and other violent acts.

Sad thing is I'm sure people looting are the exact ones that will complain about discrimination from police.

I have no issues with protesters because you have the right to a peaceful protest. Not sure what the point is considering the officers have been fired and they will go through the legal system. But if you want to protest, go for it. Because people are shitty, they're using this as a free pass to destroy property and loot businesses.

The amount of racism on social media against non-black people in response to this incident is appalling.
It is also disgusting how much certain politicians are trying to take advantage of the situation for their political benefit. These politicians are making race relations worse for their own political benefit.
I am not even aware of any evidence the excessive use of force was race related.
The people that are rioting and looting are doing damage to their own community (assuming they live in the area, which many of them don’t) and will only drive businesses away, and costs up for residents.

Those looters are opportunist. They don't care about George Floyd. They're just creating destruction, and smiling as they run away with a stolen tv under their arms.
So this man is killed in such a disgusting way. How is setting a business in your community on fire going to help?
Idiots.

I an not a US citizen but all those incidents about police cruelty cannot be wrong. There are multiple incidents reportedly constantly about policemen treating people with cruelty no matter the skin color. Some measures need to be taken all around the US to stop this.

The 'killing' of Floyd looked fake as hell to me.
American society in particular has been conditioned as well as possible for 'race wars' as the (mostly Jewish) social engineers have long identified as being a useful tool. Brzezinski, Alinsky, etc.
Everything is under control and going according to plan my friends. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.

But I also agree that some are using this as excuse to loot on others and I also doesn't get the point of it. the difference is that if you are soft on black people you encourage more crime. look what europes soft threatment of migration crime on black people gave them? only migrant crisis. thats why there are 2 systems and they rightwise exist. you so callled "anti racism" idiots are so out of touch with reality

exactly my speech, no one knows weather the policemen was a racist, maybe he was simply a brutal guy, or a bad instructed policement, but america's crazy politicians accused him still of racism fired him and disqualified itself.

those riots sparked by the police violence are now the true racists.
the memory in george flyod will be very destructive for black communities, as these will get have a forgery criminal as a hero
also there was an extreme generalisation of a policeman, with all police.
