    1. @Darren Hemingway I’m not shure if I would support the college part though. High school degree for shure but college is too expensive these days.

    2. random channel – it’s Europe, first undergraduate degree is either free or heavily subsidised for many countries. It is potentially possible for the same in the US but the right keeps screaming “socialism” rather than a relatively cheap boost to the economy that an influx of homegrown graduates would generate.

    3. @Abdullahi Osman no, it’s the racism. Otherwise, they would be doing this to white people as well. They don’t. Stupid.

    1. Yeah obviously you live in a small town protected world. They do the same thing to White men to. Used to in the 30s 40s 50s 60s females were treated differently than men, now that women have equality and go in the army they get it a little more equality.

    2. Arthur I love it there it’s amazing I studied abroad there my sophomore year of college, great hard working people , really disciplined

    3. @ForeverTS2 But I’m sure you would’ve cared if it was a white guy who was killed by the police.

    4. @just a roll of toilet paper Listen I guess she wanted an opportunity to make a bad joke I, she pointed out that calling cops “pigs” are old and then called him a boomer, I don’t really think she’s defending cops she’s prolly 9 years old lmao

    1. Daniel sanchez wonder the same about the cop that slowly killed a man and the ones who watched him

    2. wvusmc an agent literally was the one who started it…. you guys literally don’t work anywhere else for sources

    3. Clear.Perspective 69 undercover cops set the fires to frame the protesters, and they started the violence by macing and gassing the protesters first without warning or instruction.

      BLM tried peaceful protests but every single time things get escalated by the police. “peaceful protests” dont get anything done and doesnt change anything. stonewall, the civil rights movement, the aids crisis, rodney king, every great movement requires civil disobedience

    4. Zed Eon they dont riot because they “hate white people”, they riot because they’re fed up with being victimized by the police state

  1. Very smart people out there
    You know social distancing and everything.

  2. Why would you need to pin his head with your knee when the man was already pinned by 2 other polices in the back and legs? Man…

    1. If your hand is in your pocket, the situation is neutralized. No more force needed. Resisting needs force no doubt but when force has neutralized the resistance, stop the force.

    2. @Eric Zahn True. I mean, I’m born, and raised in NY. Trust me when I say, that’s the least problem that city has.

    3. To gain total control of somebody, however I don’t know about putting your knee on someone’s neck… that can definitely be seen as excessive in my opinion

    4. Brennan Pier bro I didn’t even think about it like that….my mind is blown.. what if he thought the 20$ was real, he got it as change somewhere else and was just going about his day buying some things at the store and then out of nowhere the police contacted him…I know I would definitely be kind of agitated if I have no idea what’s going on and police just start grabbing me

    5. @FMR393He didn’t resist arrest. They threw him to the ground and killed him. There aren’t any good cops so long as there are this many bad cops.

    1. There were plenty of Civil Right riots in the 60s. MLK was murdered despite his peaceful protest. There are your diplomats and there are your shock troopers.

    2. That is so true how many times does this have to happen ???? Not once or twice but many many times innocent people lose their lives because these poorly trained racist cops dont use common sence

    3. @Jaley You do realise that half the original protestors were white antifa types, right? That’s what “these people” means

    4. you know he advocated against riots, these people are not unheard, theyre criminals and vandals

    1. @Sure Enough And Dr. King was assassinated for it. Many of his followers were beaten, arrested, and killed for peacefully protest. Go watch the movie Selma and read about in a history book.

    2. The people looting don’t care one bit about some dude they didn’t know getting killed by police OR protesting. They just care about turning up for the free stuff.

    3. @Carl Todad I was not aware they made a film about it. Thank you for informing me. And yes I am aware of the horrific stuff that happened for the fight for equality

    4. Vincent Jackson y’all should be embarrass, seems like this is more of an excuse to steal stuff rather than seek justice. Stores have nothing to do with what those officers did. Now people that had no involvement have no jobs because their work place got destroyed.

  3. i’m really happy to hear the Chief of Police sued the city at one point and I hope he does a good job to handle our current situation.

    1. @eblgraphics

      The greatest example of “institutional racism”, the IDF (actually Judaism = institutional racism in a religion, the IDF is the military of this institutionally racist ideology), is the reason why police brutality has been on the increase because the more police units adopting IDF tactics.

      As Rage Against the Machine warned: “Know Your Enemy”. If you want to stop police brutality, stop allowing the IDF’s institutionally racist tactics of dehumanizing the Palestinians be used as training for police inside the USA.

  4. Minnesota cops are some of the most corrupted officials ever walked on the streets. They ain’t nothing but thugs with badges. And these Roit and looters aren’t in it for justice, they just need an excuse to steal and rob all the while the true innocent gets hurts by both the police and the looters/rioters.

  5. If Rachel REALLY cared, she would get her tail down to the action. We all know she wouldn’t go into the neighborhoods on a good day. Don’t be fooled by her fake outrage.

    1. Nothing will change until brave black men and women bear arms and march on the homes of wealthy senators and corporations.

      Only when they are threatened with the same wanton violence and killings that the black community suffers everyday will they understand and only then will meaningful change occur.

      300 years of servitude and slavery is enough.

      Do you hear the People sing?
      Singing the songs of Angry men?
      It is the music of a people
      Who will not be slaves again
      – Les Miserables

    2. TAKE IT FROM AN AMERICAN, IT’S NOT JUST YOU. IT’S GETTING CRAZIER AND
      MORE TERRIFYING OUT HERE. THAT’S WHY ME AND MY HUSBAND STAY IN
      THE HOUSE. WE ONLY MASK UP AND
      GO OUTSIDE FOR WORK, A WALK OR
      RUN A FEW ERRANDS WEARING OUR
      MASKS THE WHOLE TIME. THEN WE
      GO RIGHT BACK HOME AND STAY IN
      TO CONTINUE HELPING TO STOP THE
      SPREAD.

    3. @Andrew Smith- don’t vote for politicians who don’t support the 2nd amendment and stop destroying your communities.

  6. When that cop shot that man in his car in front of his kid and wife…. how in gods name do you get acquitted for that. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    1. @JesusPriceSuperstar You’re right. My apologies, I must have misremembered. Still looked like a murder though.

    2. @Yoji Shinkawa no need for an apology my guy. I just want us to agree on the facts and then we can disagree all day about how to interpret said facts.

    3. @JesusPriceSuperstar Agreed. Lying about even the most basic facts is the cancer which is ravaging our country these days.

  7. When you put your hands around a persons neck you can be charged with attempted murder.
    Wish i was there on the ground. Stay strong!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. CORRUPT Minnesota Police Department, REAP THE WHIRLWIND 🌪 🔥 YOU created! ✊🏻
