    All of this is extremely sad, as well as wrong, at all levels. Violence always begets more violence. The violence committed during these protests in reaction to the murder of an unarmed man by police is just as immoral and unjustified as was the killing of hundreds of thousands of civilians by the wholesale bombing of Middle Eastern countries in response to 9/11 ... (If that was justified, then this is also justified, and vice versa)

    As a society, we must pause and consider the meaning and implication of this one fact:

    Since 9/11 until today, more US citizens have been killed by law enforcement INSIDE America, than the number of US citizens getting killed in ALL terrorist attacks (including 9/11) all over the world, PLUS, all battlefield and other war zone fatal casualties COMBINED.

    Numbers which are also dwarfed by the millions of women who made the selfish decision to abort the baby that they did not want to have to deal with.

    The verdict: Millions of people all over the country are busy doing dumb selfish #### while complaining about others doing the exact same dumb selfish ####!

    George Floyd isn't an isolated incident. Its an ongoing problem with clear solutions. Reforms are promised but never seem to materialize. Police budgets get spent on tactical gear and armed vehicles while community outreach programs get cut. Officer review boards are neutered, fellow officers are reluctant to speak out about abuses for fear of being ostracized, DAs don't pursue charges against officers because they don't want to antagonize the people they rely on for convictions.

    We know what the problems are, we know how to fix them, all that is missing is the will to do so.

    Yeah the system is rigged. We know this. Looks like more photos of Floyd are coming out, from his adult film industry. 33rd degree mason tattoo. Very similar to the father of the Ferguson shooting. #setup?

    This is only going to get every body shot up and start civil war based off color, or success. Every body needs to get back to making money, and making their families and life’s stronger. That’s the only way to change your situation, it’s to economically empower yourself, then get into politics. Or... and... get the head of the snake exposed... like the George Soros’s... as long as these guys are still in position, nothing ultimately changes, they just continue with the help of their media networks, to continue turning the light switch back and forth.

    we Americans are to chemically imbalanced from all the worse food and additives we eat. This plays a role in keeping everybody in “flight or fight mode”... it’s all a big game... question is, are you looking at the pawns, or the big pieces? Or do even know we’re on a chess board. It’s always war on this earth. And superpowers move strategical.

    If he would have complied from the very beginning there might not have been a problem. He was putting up a struggle in the back of the car. Doesn't matter what color your skin is, If you're told to do something by the officer do it

    Don't blame the police. In a fascist state the police have one primary function, that is, to preserve the status quo in order to protect the power and privilege of the ruling class. The police are the de facto guard dogs of the ruling class. Clearly the rulers will not willingly mussel their own guard dogs who protect their interests by preserving the status quo. It therefore, naturally follows, that the powers of the police will not be reigned in as long is the entrenched inequitable class system prevails.

    I don't think the Officer got up that morning and said, today I am going to kill a black man. He made a bad decision not to take his knee off of Floyd. He killed a man and will go to trial for that, like anyone else that breaks the law.

    Yeah, and who voting for sheriff's? Police?
    If people vote for some dushbag, they they will see budget on armed vehicles and tactical gear.
    If people did not vote for sheriff, or did not care, well then accept consequences
