Eddie Glaude On Minneapolis protest: 'This Is Breaking My Heart' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Those cops would still be going about their biz as normal if no one had made the vid of them killing that man. My heart goes to his family.
Everyone needs to have their cameras ready at a moment’s notice.
So true… incredible to get a grip on… 🙁
@Mo Weems that is what captain Watson from Sea Shepard used for ages. “The camera is our greatest weapon”. Sure he has wisdom about how to protest in a smart way 🙂
Masked Singer thank you! Your protest tactics are absolutely brilliant

STOP MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!!
@Jay Love stop murdering people in general, why do you have to single black people?
@LukeSSS Because he’s racist.
@LukeSSS because they get murdered the most for no freaking reason
As per Nancy Pelosi: ” This is a beautiful sight to behold” HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

STUPID QUESTION ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA.!!
Was that the same Obama that ordered the dropping of bombs and drones on the people of the Middle East killing countless souls?
@Celtic Whisper the same obama who allowed Eric Holder to send thousands of cases of fully automatic firearms to mexican cartels?
The same obama who drone strikes an american citizen in yemen?
This is what happens when you break the back of the common man over and over and over again. Everyone’s had enough! No taking a knee this time!
@Trey FontenetI’m glad you feel that way. Because the black man got the vote 70 years before the white woman. Who got beaten and thrown in prison. So when the black woman got to vote 45 years later who do you think was there with her? Women like me.
@Noel Hoffmann something happened a long time and your cranky. Want me to tuck you in?
@Trey Fontenet Sure.
@Noel Hoffmann ok Xoxox
J. T. Stfu you probably don’t even live there stop acting cool
“I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.” – Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson supports stealing 4K TVs from your neighbour’s store….
@American Paisa True!!
@melanieenmats sthu racist. how do u know that happenned…& u think this started over that?
@melanieenmats If that’s what it takes to bring about lasting positive change, then yes, Jefferson would have supported any form of civil disobedience to that end. Remember the Boston Tea Party? Please explain the difference.
@American Paisa. Spare us the crocodile tears, please. Like you’re concerned about the welfare of “the Blacks.” You’re not fooling anybody. BTW, it is very clear that there are numerous white folks participating in these activities. Why do you choose to overlook this fact? Nevermind, no need for you to answer, we know why.
Kneeling during the National Anthem was a peaceful approach at directing attention to this very real problem.People turned it into a disrespectful act. Now people are more disgusted with the ongoing disrespect of human life. Violence is what people turn to when their voices are not heard!
@dustigenes, yes, I am happy it, but it still happens in other sports like that creepy tom boy girl soccer player with the laughable purple hair.
When HK protesters were burning down the city, Republicans said it was their right as “oppressed peaceful students”; Now, what will they say about the “peaceful students” of Minneapolis copying the same model of “peaceful protests” against the murdering of innocent black people by the United States public forces?
Hans Otto Kroeger Hey Hans. STFU. You have no reasoning skills
@John Zappulla Your argument made it very clear to everyone, who is the one who doesn’t have reasoning skills.
@Have a nice Dave Why not?
One things for certain, Trump will make it worse.
@TheMrVengeance yeah ok just so burning buildings down and be civil
@als I think he has decided the police can’t be trusted. The demonstrators also need protection, and outside witnesses in case the cops start shooting into the crowd. They know that could happen, otherwise.
@TsGhosty – When do I ever say that’s okay?
Oh, were you right! Woke up to the news talking about Trump’s tweet threatening to “shoot” these “THUGS”. Yet Trump supported and called White people storming the Capitol in Michigan with their AR’s “patriots”. Unreal. And people wonder why they think Trump is a racist?!
As per Nancy Pelosi: ” This is a beautiful sight to behold” HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
“And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? … It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
John Zappulla we have had our share of riots to, Brixton in London, Bristol, so I don’t think you own it, but the number of white people in America calling the cops has got out of hand ,and your president incites this behaviour, are you tired of winning yet!
As per Nancy Pelosi: ” This is a beautiful sight to behold” HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
@John Zappulla John you should go to trump rallies and sell shirts.
Simon Templar Did I trigger you, snowflake. Awwwe, how cute.
Simon Templar More blah, blah, blah. STFU
I already asked myself the Obama question as well, nope not gonna fix this problem. This is years of bad police treatment, and unfair treatment toward the African American community that is unleashing its pain all at once. I dont know if arresting 4 men is going to solve the overall problem, but it sure would help restore peace.
Obama had 8 years to make change, he didn’t even reform the criminal system at all.
You have a good point
Aden Lind and trump is doing such a great job on everything
Aden Lind do you think they would have let him? Not to mention trump would have undone it anyway after he became president.
He really looks so upset, he got me upset.How many times does this have to happen, before the bullies stop picking on the wrong people.
Exactly how many times has it happened. A number please.
Eddie was a bit choked up. This whole situation is sad
So upset with earpods and a three piece suit
“Riots do not form out of thin air. Riots are the voices of the unheard”
FirstName LastName you do sum bout it then bucko
@Nerf I have.
Voting is how those voices get heard.
@B Babbich not always…

Does this remind anyone of the LA riots back in 1992 after what happened to Rodney King?
yes, and the Watts riots in l964.
Kelly Kurenoff and I hope they do that if these cops get let go. Enough is enough
didn’t even know of that case until now. thanks for letting me know though.
“Can we all get along”
(Rodney king?
Umm.. Yes. I’m 69. I came of age in the 1960’s. We’re still fighting the fight.
Hongkong supports these FREEDOM FIGHTERS!……Free Minneapolis now !!!!!

Fight for justice, stand with Minneapolis
When HK protesters were burning down the city, Republicans said it was their right as “oppressed peaceful students”; that, at that moment, was the clear message of the US government about how people had to react to “state abuse”. Now, what will they say about the “peaceful students” of Minneapolis copying the same model of “peaceful protests” against the murdering of innocent black people by the United States public forces?
STANT AGAINST US OPPRESSIVE AND TYRANNIC GOVERNMENT! Chinese people out of China are demanding: Free North America from their tyrants! The Chinese Communist Party is with you, oppressed US citizens!
Roasted them pigs
For those who make peaceful revolution immpossible. Will make violent revolution inevitable. J.F.K. 1961.
Amen, Divine Thunder…absolutely right.
My heart is broken when i heard George Floyd’s word that i cant breath.We should go outside to do something for George Floyd.

I didn’t see men in riot gear when protests took place in the Michigan Capital with armed white men
@Siddhartha Shandilya In Hongkong and in Venezuela, Molotov cocktails have been thrown around, and even so, the US government applauded and supported the riots. So, if people in the US start to do exactly the same things the US approved and supported to be done in Hongkong, and in Venezuela, they only are harvesting what they planted!
@Hans Otto Kroeger how is it related to this incident? The question was about deploying law enforcement against rioting.
@Siddhartha Shandilya You said it: “Deploying law enforcement against rioting”.
Exactly that was what happened when the US government promoted riots, arsenic and burnings (ca. 25 individuals have been burned alive by the rioters) in Venezuela.
http://www.cubadebate.cu/noticias/2017/07/22/la-oposicion-ha-quemado-vivas-al-menos-23-personas-en-venezuela/
Exactly the same happened as the US government supported rioters and their vandalism, arenic and destruction in Hongkong.
You said it: ” The question was about deploying law enforcement against rioting.”
And when a government gives approval to riots, there will be a time in which the same government who applauds rioting in foreign countries will have to deal whit the same in their own country – and when that happens, they won’t have any credible argument for condemning what the same authorities applauded and supported openly only a year earlier! So, take your own medicine, because you need it! Perhaps in this way, you will learn to respect foreign nations, their reight to a sovereign government, and peace in between their frontiers, without the war-mongering US promoting riots, vandalism, and destruction!
Probably because those who have to wear riot gear in their day jobs would probably prefer to be with the armed white men on their days off…
@Nancy M Ross I agree. I just haven’t had the time to fact check it myself. I put that there for only that reason. It looks legit.
He nails it pointing out the false choice between two extremes given by police: Violence against peaceful protests or no policing at all! Neither is acceptable. I suspect the police do this on purpose to agitate people to create propaganda.
We need both the Malcolm and the Martin right now not agent orange pouring gasoline on the fire as the soul of the nation burns.
George Floyd: PLEASE OFFICER, I CAN’T BREATH! MAMA, MAMA….. THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR !!
