    I saw someone say they didn’t even check for a pulse. I don’t know the details, but I did notice that when EMT came they did check for a pulse, I assumed they felt one. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. Maybe he was faking the passed out, maybe he wasn’t, I have seen plenty of videos where people went limp to just make someone think they were not fighting anymore. Only to get up when the other does. Suppose we find out that this man got to the hospital, fought with doctors there, was on something, It was an overdose? There was plenty we didn’t see,there is plenty we don’t know.

    I don’t agree with the length of time he held him down like this. Apparently this tactic is allowed in Minnesota as well, from wheat I gather. This needs to change as well.

    did the police have body cams on? If so were they turned on?

    we are just getting one side here. Was he DOA? Was he dead when he was on the ground? Did we see him die? I do not know the answer.

    so many questions that must be answered.

    see now, I question everything. I even question the cops guilt, I even question the man who died. I have thought this cop is guilty, but maybe he isn’t guilty of murder. Maybe police brutality, but did he cause this man to die?

    I am sorry about your brother. I agree... people recording are just as guilty. I won’t ask the ethnicity of the cops, it is irrelevant, even in Seinfeld they went to jail for recording a crime and doing nothing. The cops should have been checking his pulse. Should have gotten up after 10 seconds at most when he went limp.

    have you tried a civil suit? At least then perhaps, you can get some form of justice for you and your brother. Perhaps you can get a pro bono lawyer to take the case. Use media sources and online to spread it as well. Get the info out there.

    Steps to Find a Pro Bono Attorney

    sometimes civil suits leads to criminal suits. OJ Simpson was found not guilty, but not in the public, and not In civil case either. Sometimes justice doesn’t work, sadly, often the justice comes in the form of a money and crippling the ones who did it through financial loss and the cloud over their head for the rest of their lives. Civil suits are the cases that make things change as well. Draws attention to the failures in criminal cases, in the system..

    She's walking around, no one is near her, whattya got the face mask on for?

    I don't know, it annoyed me

    You’re just very ornery these days.
    Not a criticism. Totally understandable.

    She has got to set an example for the demonstrators, rioters, wear your mask, I guess, but yes, it is stupid. You know Canada, through all this did not stop incoming international flights? Just outgoing. Really have to question why. Are all those rioters guilty of murder? Surely this virus has been spread and the vulnerable are at risk of dying now. The elderly vet who lost his home in the fire, now is homeless. Surely he will be in a shelter or something now. Unable to control the social distancing, the risk of exposure, as he was able to in his own home.

    the more I discover as to what has been hidden from us in Canada regarding this virus, the more I question the validity of it. Flights incoming, 100 000 people in Toronto have come in. Incoming flights have never stopped through all of this, since March, Who is coming in, flying in? Trudeau’s wife was never sick with this virus. I do believe it exists, but I also believe it has been hyped up. The numbers who have it are also a lie. In Canada, it is much more than they are saying. Our numbers are greater than what they have presented as well in Toronto.

    Not to take away from the OP. I watched several interviews in different cities, speak about what happened in Minneapolis and St. Paul. They talked about it for 5 minutes, criticizing minneapolis, Seattle did anyways, and then they moved on to talk of social distancing and wearing your mask. Speaker flanked by two cops wearing mask, One on each side, arms crossed.

    This is what I dislike about protests... the propensity for violent uprising. There should be sit-ins instead or something.
     
  11. They tried that in Atlanta a few years ago. They were blocking the freeway. So, the mayor had them arrested and thrown in jail. And the sit-ins on the freeway came to an end!

    I see... I wonder if the charges stick when that happens. You'd think sit-ins are mostly legal. Maybe trespassing or loitering or something...

    Mofos torching cop cars actually, that makes me happy

    But I wanted to see it 6 weeks ago with the stupid lockdown stuff, but no everyone turned into a pussy

    Although you could put at least a small amount of this down to a lot of people having gone stir crazy the last 6 weeks

    PS: You will happy to know I think this one will actually be the big test for Trump, he cant stuff this one up or he is gone. Cant get too heavy handed. Although it seems he is too preoccupied with Twitter management and China

    Also because COVID-19 is disproportionally affecting the African American community

    you coming in to judge others when you are not participating in the conversation makes perfect sense. Hide your head in the sand and only join in to Insult people simply because you have no opinion on the events. Your only contribution here has been A failed attempt to elevate yourself without expressing an opinion. Only to disparage a member, question ones education level. Brilliant? No! I call that a failed attempt At bullying online, trolling even. anyone who checked you up is getting on board with this as well. You way of thinking.... “ I don’t like your opinion so there fore you are behaving like a high schooler and you don’t make sense. “ Then you further talk of who should be banned here. Wow! People have different opinions. It is ok! Everything will be ok. That happens in debates, but to come in to simply attack someone’s character, belittle them speaks more of you them him, especially when you are not participating in these events or expressing an opinion regarding the OP.

    Yes, but we know that the riots are multiracial..On the pictures we can see any colour, any race..Can we say that these are social riots involving poorest social classes?

    Which is why Trumps twitter comment calling the protesters THUGS (Blacks) was superfluous

    never saw him say blacks are thugs, he said the looters are thugs, it was not in reference to any ethnicity. If it was, my mistake, proof please?
