Current Affairs George Floyd and Minneapolis Unrest

Black American friend from another forum I post

“The West has been exploiting Africa and her diaspora for over 500 years. Floyd's death is nothing new in America. The only difference is more and more white people getting angry about it.

Cop with his knee on the neck should get the electric chair on national fckn television. He should burn in hell. Hope I'm being clear.

Other cops in vicinity should get life in jail. The only way to stop this is if cops feel they will be killed too and not just get paid vacation.

I have no problem with the riots, I have no problem with burning the police station to the ground, I have no problem with looting.

America has been looting black people for hundreds of years and no one bats an eye. One little police station burns down and everyone loses their minds.

White people last month stormed government buildings armed with military guns so they can get the fckn malls reopened and there was no violence. How can white people get away with that while black people can barely go outside without having a ten step plan to avoid getting murdered?

We've been peacefully protesting for centuries. It doesn't fckn work. Sometimes, in order to get justice, you must burn the whole fckn thing to the ground.”

those f words were full there as it is free to use it, but I edited.

Those white people described as domestic terrorists?

Speaking of which.

Same cop who is on camera shooting at someone who said 'f you' to him.

so of all the videos I’ve seen , many of which of which are frankly disgraceful I have the least problem with this . The cars accelerating through crowds , OTT physicality , drive by gassings, the totally unacceptable NG behaviour I think all are worthy of condemnation this one I feel is a lot more understandable.

Nervous energy , adrenaline, fear whatever you like all manifest themselves in a variety of ways particularly in ‘young men ‘ and I’m sure in a variety of circumstances a lot of us have seen it happen . Not saying I wouldn’t be furious if I was on the other side of it but I can see how it happens .

This thread overall & much of the topics raised and footage posted though is both sad and anger inducing .

Genuinely moved by that. A very powerful image.

Nobody, aside from obvious cranks, on here has explicitly defended the police or their actions, it's incredible that you think that anyone could.

Who do you think my first post was aimed at?

I assumed, like anyone else, you’d just ignore them and let them fap themselves into a fury while depriving them of the attention they so desperately crave.
