DeRay McKesson: Not Even COVID Stopped Police Killings In The U.S. | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Killed a man then strangled his corpse. The others cops stood around like fools because “thin blue line”
George Floyd didn’t deserve to be murdered….but let’s not make him out to be a saint. The man had a long rap sheet. — In a 2007 robbery, George Floyd plead guilty to entering a woman’s home, pointing a gun at her stomach and searching the home for drugs and money. Prior to that, Floyd had multiple arrests for possession of cocaine and theft. And given the fact that on the very day he was murdered, he was trying to make a fraudulent purchase with a phony $20 bill, I really don’t see much evidence that he had changed his ways.
But I repeat…George Floyd didn’t deserve to be murdered.
It was scripted by the left and media. They are sick and evil
@The Wraith Agreed. Well said. The $20 bill turned out to be legit btw. Just sayin’.
This 4 MF killed need to go BIG DOG house.. we all know what happen went dirty cops go to jail…..
Coronavirus: I’m the worst thing happening to America.
Racism: Hold my white hood.
@15k DOW 2022 Sigh. It’s OK if you don’t know any history. Donnie John doesn’t either.
@Bud Fudlacker Ask yourself why they’re burning and looting. Society was the contract that kept them from that, and Society has consistently let them down over and over again, the rioting and looting is the ripping up of the contract because it isn’t working for them, this society is not healthy for them and they need to demonstrate that, that was the point.
@Bud Fudlacker It does, in fact, help, it conveys the message loud and clear, and African Americans are the ones doing this, because cops are killing them and enough is enough.
That they are protesting should not be news, if they are not protesting any day after 400 years of systemic racism and abuse in this country should be a headline. When is enough enough? Why do so many think that if “others” are given equal rights and standards of living it somehow lessens their rights and standard of living? Why cannot humanity evolve enough to realize we are all just one race, the human race, trying to survive on this small planet in the vastness of the cosmos and work together as one rather than trying to get more than “others”?
@Lex Gaming well more will die being stupid with cops of every race left with no choice! People are sad about what happened to George but no one will be sad if brick throwing arsonists have to be
shot!
AND the entire world gets to see how great America became with all that winning!!
4 years and we got record unemployment and a tanked market…now riots because a murderer wouldn’t be arrested immediately….how do you like them apples?
😶 college students do more looting when they win a championship game
You already said that
Native, sure they loot every city in many states?
corporate america looted TRILLIONS during this pandemic and the financial crisis and NO ONE cares that they got richer at our expense. The manufactured spin is unreal. Destruction in the millions of dollars is BAD…but taking TRILLIONS is fine.
My understanding is that the rage comes up every 30 years due to no changes..
black waited for change since 1900, but white always say no sadly
@Ornitier 1 your post would be funny if not so pathetic. Obama was elected and then reelected. Do you think he won with just the black vote? No zippy. He won with this country’s white vote. Explain that to us please.
How can you not agree with what this man said?
This guy being interviewed dressed like he’s a Powder Ganger
This is a great time for leaders to show if they can uphold the rule of law rather govern by political correctness.
I heard that Melania has again been wearing her Jacket with the saying “I really don’t care , do you ?” SAD
Some of our leaders dont seem interested in law and order.
Merrilou Neigenfind there were a lot of White people out there and they need their heads bashed and arrested to just like everyone involved
Merrilou Neigenfind oh now you avoided the questions and jump to blaming trump and trump supporters. Amazing.
Colored? Omg. Lol. You’re a piece of work. You are so out of your league.
@David Hale Just fyi, bout is not a word. Sigh.
@David Hale Stop assuming. It’s what Trump supporters do best next to killing people.
you only get riots when there a lack of justice for the common people. the course is valid.
400 yrs of oppression. America had this coming.
rosa aguila “It’s been a long time coming…”
Nothing < 1st degree!
Crooked cops with 18 and 5 previous complaints against them, and they’re still on the force?? The police department’s top boss should be held accountable for keeping these criminals on the payroll. That would be Minneapolis’ MAYOR.
He fired those 4, only one is charged, but the problem is systemic across the nation for sure.
Mike Brown’s step-dad: “Burn it down!”
“The loyal pet will bite the hand that feeds when backed into a corner.”
USA and the other four eyes to remember the world doesn’t belong to you countries and the world cultures don’t have to be your English speaking cultures
The rest of the world don’t have to adhere to your Standards which sucked
Jesus said – “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3 :
USA NEED IS CHANGE NOW .
I see allot of white supremists in police clothing.
Dissi Dence
I see a lot of Knags looting an sheeeeet.
It’s the American way… guns and murder and violence. It’s always been this way and it’s glorified
