    There are always going to be racial incidents between minorities and law enforcement. There is no getting around this. Former officer Derek Chauvin has now been charged with second degree murder. This was upgraded from 3rd degree and manslaughter. The other officers were charged with aiding and abetting. I get the anger and the outrage. Police brutality and misconduct has always been a problem and sadly it will not go away. It's the same old shit only with different names. There is a way to be revolutionary and get your point across without resorting to looting and vandalism. My former sergeant from '94 always told me you can't let yourself get wrapped up in the situation and let emotions boil over. From the Rampart controversy to the very sad death of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, etc sometimes common sense fly out the window. Apologies if I don't make sense, rambling, or disjointed it is b/c I have been drinking.

    I wonder...might this be the beginning of more people with credibility and influence finally, at long last, coming together and speaking out against the fool that is our president.

    When people literally around the world are protesting in sympathy over this situation, this damn murder of unarmed black men by police officers... that certainly tells me they not only "see" the situation but are acknowledging the lack of coordinated effort (from the "top") to stop this violence.

    Given the chance, people will (usually) reach the point at which they will say no more...when wrong is being done to themselves or fellow humans..

    The house has passed over 400 bills concerning the environment and other important issues-----they languish on Turtle boys desk over in the senate. Let's do say NO MORE to the child as "president "and those that make his asinine antics possible.

    I suspect it will take much more this time around then simply relying on men of good will.

    Trump and his republican cronies are desperate to remain in power, and will do literally anything to ensure victory, but how far will they go remains an open question.

    Trump is already losing it, and if the polls continue to favor Biden, he could have a complete breakdown.

    Surely his handlers will keep him medicated. I hope they do!

    He isn't able to give a coherent public speech when he is on top of the world. I can't imagine what mishmash of words and phrases he will toss together when he accepts he really doesn't have control of this (or any other) situation in the public's eye.

    A complete breakdown seems possible.

    I feel like both of you would like to label this all as one race and political view because it justifys your own hate and ignorance.

    So please keep this link in mind, These people are more in line with your views. There is just as much evidence for white right wing people looting as their is black people who would never vote for Trump.

    3 self-proclaimed members of the far-right 'boogaloo' movement were arrested on domestic terrorism charges for trying to spark violence during protests

    Here is the official complaints or charges against these guys.

    https://dam.tmz.com/document/5f/o/2020/06/03/5fa359fbfea7476c87686dd4ce2d90d7.pdf

    Its OK but we might see riots round 2 if they beat this. Its bad but I think the defense has a lot to work with.

    The riots if these guys walk, that is going to suck. This time around it was mostly protest with riot on the side. These guys walk that is going to be scary.

    What does everyone think of this ?

    Listen to what he says at 10:18 or actually 10:43 "its very important for them to breath"

    Earlier in the video it says they ask for water, like George did.

    If this sense of injustice continues right through till November, and Hephatrump continues to open his gob and stick his feet inside, I wonder what his chances will be of gaining a second term. Anyone running book on it ???

    I'm on the side of the cops now, stuff like this is bullshit and needs to end:

    "Three NYPD officers were hospitalized after a violent confrontation with a knife-wielding suspect in Brooklyn late Wednesday night, a police spokesperson said.

    Around 11:45 p.m, two officers were on foot near the intersection of Church Avenue and Flatbush Avenue in the Flatbush neighborhood, according to police. The two encountered a man on the street, who approached them and slashed one of the officers in the neck. A struggle ensued between one of the cops and the man, with a gun firing during the fight, an NYPD spokesperson said.

    A nearby sergeant and an officer quickly responded after hearing the gunfire, and shot the suspect. The man was put in police custody and rushed to Kings County Hospital in serious condition, police said."
