It's all normal until the lead starts flying.

So this cop uses a neck chokehold on this person? Sorry, gang that is felony murder. We had a case like that up here in puddle town a few years back with the cops indicted for murder i think. My understanding is neck choke holds are BANNED. It might be a city by city police policy. Besides, this is two questionable black deaths by not too smart cops. This situation has some dog in the show, Dennis.

I expected things to go BOOM over this- but sure didn't think this soon or this big :shkr:

Hope that it will be viewed as Big Governments callous overreach and be tied emotionally to all those power hungry Democrats who've shut cities down and tried to rule with the proverbial boot to the throat..

Here's the thread on the initial situation that they're rioting over:

they are saying elsewhere his neck was broken, that you can hear it snap on the video

I have only watched it once and its disturbing enough and not going to replay it, bystanders were pleading to get off him.

others say that he was fighting with cops for 10 minutes prior, possibly on crack and arguing over a bad check written?

what is it about Mpls and their cops?

Do they want to go under consent decree like Chicago?

Not the biggest fan of cops in general. But, I don't recall anybody rioting in Mpls when that Somali cop shot an unarmed white woman.

Massive differences in the cultures, of the races involved.

Also, just as important. The unarmed white woman, was not protected
by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. George Floyd was.

Please be safe everyone.

Regards to all.

I’ve never said this before, but THIS TIME I feel the rioters have a legitimate issue.
Yup, as much as I'd like to disagree, I can't this looks bad, a stupid mistake by the cop, put the knee and pressure on the big old head, not the neck, and that brother is playing monkeyshines in the Minneapolis jail tonight, dumb move on the cops part and it pains me to say that.

So I wanted to know just what was going on to arrest this guy................and I find out the following so far:

1) Was trying to use a forged document or currency process to purchase something in a store.

2) Was found to possibly be under the influence of something.

3) Claimed by the police that he was physically resisting arrest

Okay now all this has to be confirmed..........but will there ever be a Black man who is not involved with any thing like the 3 statements above that ends up dead from police brutality?

Sure the cops blew it.........................but if those 3 statements above are correct in this case then this Black blew it before the cops did.

It doesn't excuse the cops from what they did..............but time and time again Blacks always escalate the whole scene until this crap happens.

And then its Katie bar the door by the urban Black underclass on White civilization destruction and their White cuck hipsters who are "down for the cause".........

I'm beginning to think that the vast majority of urban underclass Blacks...

1) Believe that law and order is a White social invention of which only represents oppression to them.......and that they do not need to exercise personal responsibility and social accountability in a White society. Crime for them is a career choice if they can't become a professional athlete or a rapper.

2) Think they can argue, challenge and stand off against any enforcement of such order by the law to the point where escalation is certain and hopefully will net them a ghetto lottery against the city in a law suit if they don't end up dead first.

3) Can moan and bitch about any crime they experience against them or their family members but will never dare snitch on a brother..........

Look............the bottom line here is far too many of Blacks within this social strata that just can't and/or won't function responsibly in a Western society.

They are just a different culture/mindset/attitude and it is incompatible to how this country works.

Generational welfare should come with sterilization and non-White immigration needs to be curtailed.

I don't handle the # signs all over the text.

Does the message convey that a militia group is coming to protect the cops?

Or do I interpret it ass backwards?

Considerng the number of "groups" on both "sides" as well as Agent Provocateurs it's anyone's guess as to whom this guy is warning about.....

I give up.

I think so. As for the # signs, it means if you put that before a word in Twitter, then anyone reading that same hastag and word will see it too.
