I'm sure your media is showing the worst of it.
If you live outside of a dozen or two of the largest and worst Democrat ran shitholes here, you're fine.
I'm literally a few miles away from one of the most crime ridden cities in the country historically and there has been no rioting there. Just some peaceful protesting that could have gotten ugly when they decided they were going to try to block the expressway and cops held their ground and used tear gas. The mayor then came out and actually managed to diffuse the situation and nothing is burning to the ground.
We're a conceal and carry state. Any potential criminals here are well aware of that fact and will step down any of their aspirations for the near future accordingly.

If it wasn't a murderous cop, it would have been something else.

I agree that is part of this, many of these people have been trapped in their homes for weeks with nothing to do, they're already pissed. Then they see a bad cop kill a man so they explode, they take it out on the people who've forced them to stay in there homes, their captors have lost control.
And I'll tell you what.
The goddamned Democrats and Legacy Media better start calling it goddamned rioting instead of calling it goddamned "protesting", or I might have to reconsider all of those times I jumped all over people like Tim Pool for talking about a second Civil War coming.
I thought it was hyperbole.
But the way that Democrats are behaving now about this is no different than when the Muslim community never comes out and denounces a terrorist attack.
And our supposedly "objective" Legacy Media is an accomplice.
You all want to know what "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" means?
Let's just say that anybody who tries breaking into my house or setting it on fire isn't going to live very long to regret that decision.

The Mayors of these cities and their buds in the MSM have shown they're worthless, their own attack dogs have turned on them. They thought this would last a couple of days then blame it on Trump, now the Mayors of these cities are getting the heat.

Aside from "bored poor people" and Soros-driven Antifa, do you know who else might be piised off at lockdwns?
Drug dealers and pimps.
Gone the day when white folk would drive into their neighborhoods looking for action or drugs. Makes a whole way of life untenable.

But I still think this is more than "bored poor people". The fact that this all takes place is heavily democratic cities, with a variety of messages and targets,but ALL At ONCE looks suspicious. The tinder for chaos was laid over decades: dimming economic prospects, a deliberate campaign of "people against people" identity politics, the media and spook agencies gunning to get Trump out of office, and now Covid-19 ... but it looks to me like someone is throwing matches into the tinder. Timing. Cui bono?
Needs research.

Quote:The police did your research for you and they explained very clearly why many, many more police need to be fired from their jobs. If more police understood that a low paid job with no medical nor retirement benefits was in their future if they misbehaved while on duty, the police would behave better:

Police open-fired paint canisters at people on their own property
In Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Police Department and National Guard marched down the residential streets of Whittier neighborhood. Tanya Kerssen, who lives in the neighborhood, tweeted that the officers shot paint canisters at the residents while shouting “light ’em up.”

Police chiefs condemned the killing of George Floyd, but the actions of their officers since show that nothing’s shifted.
Police officers—the ones who make the traffic stops and enforce the public disturbance complaints—were lining up to face off against protesters in cities all around the country. They brought billy clubs, riot gear, and even tanks. They shot rubber bullets at TV reporters, turned pepper spray on large groups of protesters—especially dangerous in the midst of a pandemic—and rushed to the defense of a motorist who recklessly drove through a crowd of demonstrators.
It was hard to miss the duplicity. NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea strongly and publicly rebuked the four Minneapolis officers involved in Floyd’s death. “What we saw in Minnesota was deeply disturbing. It was wrong,” he tweeted. “This is not acceptable ANYWHERE.” But on Friday in Brooklyn, his officers were swinging batons and scuffling with protesters in the streets, and on Saturday they were ramming their police cruisers into them.
Officers are much closer to what we see in viral videos documenting their brutality than in the well-intentioned words of their leaders. Despite the shift in public statements, police haven’t changed since the protests of 2014 and 2015.

ETA: it's true that politics makes strange bedfellows. One wouldn't normally expect Townhall to take up the cause of Black Lives Matter.
But then Townhall brings in antifa and it all becomes clear ... antifa are - yanno - democrats. Just like Nancy and Adam and Chuck and Jerry. Antifa/ bad = Democrats/ bad.
But to get back to the original incident. My opinion is that if there hadn't been random passers-by filming this, it would have all been swept under the rug. That would be despite the fact that "The Minneapolis Police Department also announced that body cameras “were on and activated” during the incident." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/what-we-know-about-george-floyds-d
eath-in-minneapolis-police-custody
But fortunately there WERE people filming it, and the SOP was blown.
Since then, a new video from a random citizen has emerged showing Floyd apparently in the back seat of a cruiser, and an officer leaning in for a number of seconds while the car rocks back and forth - leaving us all to guess what exactly was going on.
But while we're guessing, because of those aforementioned bodycams, police and politicos know exactly what happened. I'd guess (again - left guessing) that what was on those bodycam videos was the reason for their immediate firing and briskly filed criminal charges.
I have a very general question though. Obviously this isn't the first time or the only place someone was tased, or beaten, or knelt on, or dog-piled, or given a 'rough ride', while in handcuffs or other mechanical restraints.
What police policy makes it OK to aggressively subdue a person who's already in restraints? I'd think there would be some kind of bright-line policy decision that would forbid that. Yanno - already in restraints. What more are they looking for?

As Police Attack Protesters in Minneapolis, Speculations About “Outsiders” Draw on Fraught History
As people in the Twin Cities woke up to a devastated city this weekend, state and local officials pushed the idea that the damage was mostly perpetrated by outsiders — a notion that has a long and fraught history in global protest movements. While the Wisconsin teenagers were one small data point supporting that claim, other solid evidence was lacking. And by Saturday night, officials were forced to walk back their claims, after local reporters reviewed arrest records and found that most of the people arrested on Friday and early Saturday in Hennepin County were in fact Minnesota residents.
At a press conference on Saturday morning, St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said that every person arrested on Friday in his city came from out of state — a statement that jibed with remarks from Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz. The Minnesota Fusion Center, part of a network of intelligence-sharing agencies created in the wake of 9/11 that in the past have monitored Black Lives Matter, Occupy, and Standing Rock protestors, claimed that as many as 75,000 “agitators” were en route to the state, according to the Star Tribune.
After reporters combed over arrest records, though, Carter took back his comment, saying he’d been given inaccurate information by the police. “Saying they’re outside forces is not to deflect and say we don’t have a problem,” Walz said at a press conference Sunday morning, after reporters asked him about the misinformation.
But that is how such claims have historically been used. The notion that violence is perpetrated by outsiders is one that has cropped up in every major protest movement, from the U.S. civil rights movement on. It has been pushed at past demonstrations in the Middle East; Ferguson, Missouri; the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas; and most recently by the Chinese government in Hong Kong. For some critics, blaming outsiders is a way of distracting from protestors’ legitimate demands.

There's a very fine line between allowing police to do their jobs and making them afraid to do their jobs.
This happens to be one of the cut and dry instances where there is no debate. Murderous, fucked up cop needs to made a lesson of. HARD.
But it looks like Second just wants all the police in the entire country neutered.
Must put a lot of faith in the security guards guarding his gated community.
Blackwater?
