George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

America has never really changed. Too many rednecks outside of the coast and now a redneck in the White House.

More brass I think.

Since when has the punishment for looting been death? You can't fucking kill people for nicking stuff.

Judging by the coroners report the manslaughter charge won't hold.

Do you not think rioting is the very last resort of not being heard?

No

These (underlying health conditions) might be why the prosecution have gone for 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter.

Why’s that, mate?

Biggest mistake was for the black population globally to turn the other cheek. Centuries of abuse, slavery,apartheid,segregation,unlawful arrests, lynching and people say "Oh but two wrongs don't make a right, don't fight back, engage in constructive debates and stay steadfast, pray"......and then the same people turn around to drop bombs on Nagasaki, Napalm on Saigon, 24hr air bombardment against the afghans and I am like "Hey, didn't you just say turn the other cheek?"

I think @Tim of the Oak would disagree that a riot spilled for these very reasons is understood.

From the high profile beating of Rodney King to Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, Ahmuad Aubrey, Sandra Bland and now George Floyd; these are just a HANDFUL of unarmed victims by the hands of police. This has gone on for decades. Marches have happened with no real difference.

The only time any real action has been taken to charge any officers has been the result of rioting.

But some people think that can't be the 'last resort'.

Let me tell you, if the rioting never happened, one would know very little about these injustices.

I also note that Eric Garner had underlying health issues of a crushed windpipe...

Wow! Just seen the footage of the other officers' involvement.

Three out of four of those officers were kneeling on Floyd's torso, immobilising him as well as constricting his airway. The one on his neck, one on his back and one on his legs, whilst the fourth watched on.

All of it happened behind the vehicle.

Fucking shocking!!
