This is exactly what I’m thinking.
Also, this is a chance for the police to show solidarity with the BLM movement. Show them that most police are good people (like people keep on saying) and take a stand against brutality
But instead they stand against the rioters. I don’t care if it’s their job they are showing that pay cheque is more important that black lives. Protest against the people above you and show that you believe black lives matter!!
I’ve not seen one police officer show any solidarity to the people demanding justice for a murder so I find it hard to believe there’s so many “good cops”

The policed aren't interested in showing solidarity. Has last time been forgotten?

I’d largely agree with this sentiment.. I’ve not read through the thread to know what he’s referring to ‘specifically’ but I can speak from experience and say that , generally speaking , people do sadly tend to pick on individuals who simply have a differing opinion to the masses or look at something from a different point of view .

This isn't a street mob chat it's SD. You can't say the officer acted illegally when at the same time condemn him without a proper trial. It's illogical.





Earlier, Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman, giving an update to reporters on the case, said he must look at all evidence before bringing charges.

"My job in the end is to prove he violated a criminal statute. And there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. We need to wade through all of that evidence and come to a meaningful decision and we are doing that to the best of our ability."

I think you're a little caught up in the legalities there LT; people aren't condemning him for acting illegally, they're condemning him for acting immorally. By kneeling on a man's neck until he died. If there was no such thing as "law", this man would remain morally abhorrent.

I am referring to the use of language in the messy thread and the mob tones which inflame discord. Have an option but don't think you are so right (based on a clip) you are above the law.

The only thing that could possibly make this horrible situation even slightly less awful is if the cop goes to jail with a maximum sentence for murder and then gets murdered himself while he is in there

I would stand side by side with these protestors..

finally for me, apart from my protesting against paedos on the streets of London. This is a cause worth fighting
