    It would be a very good thing to analyse who are really the protesters..They look pretty young, maybe some idealism is coming back in the sixties spirit..Are they fed up with the system the way the hippies were?
    What is moving them besides another unfair death of a black man?

    Yes, but in any protest we can find some kind of idealism, is the revolutionary spirit dead?These ones are in the streets for their ideas..
    There are also some people that are coming just to break and loot, some kind of extreme anarchists..
    It could be interesting to see what is motivating all these people, cause they join the protests for differents reasons.

    These protests have less to do with George Floyd than they have to do with George Soros

    who were/are the provocateurs? CNN? BLM? WHO? UN? Left wing? Right wing? The media? #love was painted on the CNN sign. Seems the lefts biggest supporter is not getting off here.
    New catch phrase is old .... started in 2014 with the beginning of BLM in August of 2014, in prep for the next election. . this was their catch phrase. . I CANT BREATHE ...... again. Eric Garner, who died of a heart attack, not because of what police didn’t do or did do. When they noticed his difficulty breathing paramedics came. Put him on oxygen within 2 minutes. This phrase has been used before by people being arrested, and used falsely too. A phrase BLM has pushed, blamed cops for his difficulty breathing, false scenario pushed by BLM. Outraged the people. Used to create a political divide and racial divide with false information.

    just stating facts.

    Hard to believe some thing like this can happen in America. Not once but more and more cases of un-just punishment. I know a guy who in pretty radical, always says. there will come a time when America, will come under the power of some one who makes Hitler look like a saint. But he has a lot of far out ideas.

    I don’t agree. Maybe to you, this is what it means. It is propaganda imho. Well I believe in equal opportunity thugs. Thugs come in all ethnicities. Obama used the term thug as well to refer to rioters in Baltimore, was this racist and in reference to all black people being the thugs involved? Obama stood behind the term and it’s use too. Look it up in the dictionary. It doesn’t say thugs can only be black Or specific ethnicities. As a matter of fact, thinking only black people can be thugs is racist.

    It needs to continue till they arrest the other three officers.

    I can't breath.

    Why ?

    Hands cuffed behind back

    Mans body weight on my back.

    Man on my legs causing pain and distress

    Man with knee in my neck

    Man keeping the public from coming to my aid.

    Let the violence continue till they get the message.
    We will not tolerate this

    Power is in there hands.

    Arrest the other 3 and most of this stops. The worst of it stops.

    When any debate starts to talk about race, it is becoming a partial debate..It is time to realise that we are living in a multiracial world, that races mix and mix more everyday, and any speech about white, black, yellow , green, blue,etc..is very limited cause it is never the total truth..
    See when Obama got elected, why black people so glad, after all, he is as white as black, his mam white, his dad black..

  13. It's an appropriation. For decades thugs were just brutish criminals, no racial context at all. Calling the term a racial code is a recent development. So the term has been appropriated from the language to serve a purpose that was never intended for the word.

    Some words are gold, some are lead.

    I like Taylor Swifts response to the President's comments on thugs and looting.

    Taylor Swift also weighed in on Twitter: "After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.

    I suspect you're right. Once again, people will be asked to disbelieve their lying eyes. "Strain from the incident". That would mean from having some cop kneel on your neck for nine minutes while you, hancuffed, and the bystanders are telling them you can't breathe. The kneel would still be the proximate cause. I believe the "strain" story. Thousands wouldn't!

  19. The last thug we had in the white house was Bush. The real assholes seem to be what a lot of the republican base wants, Reagan set the tone. If you need a war, put a greedy republican on the throne. I don't get the same vibe from Trump though, perhaps because he's not actually a republican at all. For decades he was an obvious democrat. For all we know he's the one who bankrolls antifa!

    is that your response to the definition of thug? Are you about to cry or something?
    Again was Obama referring to black people only when he called Baltimore rioters, looters who set fire thugs?
    the guy on video who was smashing windows at the auto place was a thug too, he was white.
    Do you want the video of obama calling baltimore rioters thugs?
