We will have to agree to disagree. She did act stupid, but he should have stayed away from her.

He was staying away from her. What planet do you live on?

So he was quite a distance away from her and she was "so scared" she approached HIM? She walked right up to him when he was standing still at a safe distance. Yes, you're just making excuses for her behavior at this point.

Not really, I did say she acted stupid. My statement was that losing her job and her dog was an overreaction. Perhaps you can learn to read?

However, crimes like the one committed by this particular officer--as well as the three others w/him--should not be tolerated!

You used a term that I’ve seen many have issue with on social media ... “rioters”

At what point is a “protester” a “rioter”? ... I don’t know the answer, but where’s that line?

Imagine coming into a thread about a man murdered by police to only post rioting.

Imagine coming into a thread to about a man murdered only to try and justify cops murdering.

These dog whistles belong at stormfront.

Seeing the videos of the looting and violence that has stemmed from the murder in MN is so shocking to watch.

I am not a black person so I have no idea how they feel about the police on a day to day basis. And I'm quite sure as with anything, there is no one size fits all to say how blacks feel about the police. I'm sure as with any group of people you have a variety of opinions.

What I can say is the opinion I have formed in watching events around this country. It appears to me, at least on the surface, is how you are treated and what type of justice you receive depends greatly on which cops show up on the scene. Sort of like flipping a coin. I find that to be extremely problematic.

Shout out to the protesters, looters, and rioters. From what I see, it’s everybody out there; white, black, and Latino citizens turning up cause they’re sick and tired of this corrupt criminal justice system and the jack booted thugs they call law enforcement.

Keep burning it down until they change how they hire and train these steroid using, wife beating, jack booted thugs, who shouldn’t even had been hired in the first place.

Everybody wants to defend good cops, yet they never seem to be around when the low lives they work with pull disgusting crap like this.

Burn. It. Down.

I am white and I am enraged by this. Can you imagine how our black community feels?

I don't cut blank checks for minorities. I get on them when they are wrong, but damn man, this is insane. Too much of this crap going on.

Maybe there is more video, but from what I saw.....that was freaking murder!

edit: what's the point

My 2 cents. This gentleman died of positional asphyxia. It wasn't the knee on the throat that killed him, it was being forced to a prone position with no relief from the pressure on the diaphragm. I was a trained instructor in non-violent crisis intervention and have been involved in more than my share of physical restraint. The most important information they stressed in the program was to never restrain someone in the prone position, and if they end up there, get them out of it ASAP. If that's not possible, get some leverage under the shoulders to raise the shoulders/chest and get the pressure off of the diaphragm. All law enforcement officers are trained to do this as a result of the Malice Green case and others where suspects died while being restrained face down.

I have seen people turn blue within seconds of being restrained on their stomach. It used to be common practice for law enforcement to just put a knee on the back of someone in this position, and it looks like the police here were applying pressure to this man's back. I am pretty surprised that he remained conscious for as long as he did. In the hospital/ER, we are required to designate a patient advocate not involved in the crisis to monitor the patient's physical status and make sure any physical intervention is being done as safely as possible.

The police officers ignored the obvious signs that this man was in physical distress and could easily die.

That's the problem in today's America , every thing is either Black or White figuratively and actually .. A barbaric act by in [censored] cop does not justify burning down and looting businesses . What is accomplished by those acts ? All that does is fume the flames even higher. How did the Mayors speech improve the situation ?

When I view situations : I ask myself does it bring us together as a people and Nation or push us further apart. I can only speak for myself and family ..
