FYI. Research this case also in Minnesota. Media did not cover this that much, and there were no riots or protest marches.

I get where you're going, and maybe you agree, but it's not about race. It's about bad cops being allowed to stay on the force that aren't reprimanded or fired because of shit work. It doesn't matter that Floyd was black, but that's what the media is making it about. The spotlight is on the left to clean up their shitty police departments, so they're changing the narrative to race, which is not even what happened here.

Whether it's policing, teaching, fire fighting, etc. we need to get the third wheel out of the picture. Unions that protect bad people, and in this specific case a murderer who had over a dozen formal complaints. The blue line bull shit or whatever that is espoused from their unions that will protect them all the way with zero possible repercussions to leadership. All this was created from leftist policy and they're ashamed of the monster they created, so everything is just racist to deflect from the true story that they fucked up.

If BLM or any of the "peaceful" protesters wanted change, get off your ass and FOIA your police department for officer infractions. If there's an officer on the force with a bunch, get him fired. The time is now. But instead act like fucking retards and burn down shit that has nothing to do with what is and has happened and everyone's racist. The logic of these people is mind numbingly stupid.

BLM is actually in a real bind. They are getting everything they asked for. What the hell will they do for money and attention once this blows over and they have no further reason to exist?

One thing is for sure, they'll never address the black on black crime with the funds they receive. In a multi-layer approach to ending police brutality, step one is black on black crime. You reduce that by 80% and you get reduced police encounters. You then do the FOIA idea above and find out who the bad apples are. Put pressure on the unions to out shitty cops. Then create campaigns geared towards to good cops to out the bad cops within their ranks.

I'm pretty convinced blacks for whatever reason like the status quo. There's no other way to explain it. There's a better path to choose, but they prefer to shoot themselves in the foot. Until they realize the leadership they put in place has failed them, and not the white man, they're doomed.

Today in SF Chronicle:

"Minnesota officials have charged all four officers in that case, including Derek Chauvin, who kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes during the arrest.
Forensics experts who conducted a private autopsy for Floyd’s family concluded that another officer’s knees on Floyd’s back contributed to making it impossible for his lungs to take in sufficient air."

The guy who kept his knees on Floyd's back is that black dude pictured in the OP.

BLM and AntiFa has stated it is "systematic racism" within heavily Democrat districts. That was the quagmire with the Baltimore riots against the police. A vast majority of Baltimore's police force is African American.

I’m against aggressive police but I don’t know exactly how they ended up with the guy on the ground.

From the video it looks like he fell down when they tried to put him into the unit. Whether it was because he collapsed from all the health issues and drugs in his system or he was faking it in order to avoid being loaded into the car is unclear.

No kidding! It should have been obvious to anyone who watched the video of the initial arrest that the policemen were not being racist in this case. There were two other African American passengers getting out of Floyd's Mercedes SUV, and both of them were treated very professionally by both Officer Chauvin's patrol partner (was it Officer Kueng?) and Chauvin himself; the officers didn't touch them at all but talked to them professionally and took notes. After Floyd was dragged out of the driver's seat of the Mercedes and hand-cuffed, and sat down by the brick wall, Floyd collapsed under his own weight, Officer Kueng(?) even helped him sit up as Floyd wasn't able to sit up on his own. Both officers then helped Floyd across the street to the police SUV. We are not being shown what happened between that video showing exemplary professionalism and the video of Chauvin holding Floyd down by the neck (which is also hiding the fact that two additional officers obscured by the SUV, including Kueng(?), had to help holding down Floyd). What happened in those missing minutes between the two videos? Obviously, Kueng (?) and Chauvin couldn't have suddenly transformed from non-racist to racist in those few minutes.

The real racists in this stinking mess are the rioters, protesters and the media (and of course the manipulators behind this). Kueng (?) was at least partially black himself, and Chauvin had Kueng(?) as patrol partner, i.e. putting his own life in the hands of a black man. How racist can they be? especially when seeing both of them treating the other two black passengers getting out of Floyd's Mercedes SUV very professionally, and even treating Floyd himself very professionally (and helpful) before they crossed the street to the police SUV.

Where were those protesters when the black Somalian officer shot the unarmed and non-criminal white Australian lady (who had come to the US as a bride-to-be)? The protesters themselves are racists. In fact, the national statistics show that the American police is biased against non-blacks in favor of blacks: blacks account for over half of all violent crimes but only 1/4 of fatality by police. The black community is insufficiently policed! Far more blacks of all ages but especially young black males are killed by criminals than by police. If anyone really care about black lives, they should be calling for more aggressive policing in black communities to stop criminals.
