Ah I see you made this point already. Great minds and all that.
Fools never differ.
Hating libtards is just stupid. That is like hating that monkey in the zoo that smells his butt and passes out over and over.
They love to feel outraged. They're not happy unless they're whining.
It's weird man seems exhausting to try own the libs all day.

To the lefties, was this a race incident or police brutality?
Your friends in the ANC seems to disagree with each other on this.

Actually now that you mention it, i have also realized that people who hate Trump, sure do follow a phukk load of his social media and repost it.
I know if you try to go slowly in your head, you might realise that it could be both.
I dunno, my Soros meeting was at the same time as the ANC one, so I had to skip it. What did your friends in the KKK say?

Hoe durf U! Ek het lankal gesê albei is skuldig.
Darn it, blew my cover.
Anyway, I called it long before you.
Tbh, there are people here here acting exactly as if they were at the scene from all sides, from Floyd's side and from the cop's side. My first step was to talk to a law enforcement official that knew more than me and in the US, who has had professional training (incidentally he's not white, he's the even higher IQ type). Discussing it, he stated that what that cop did was a big no-no. It's in the training, in fact advised strongly against it. Of course under extreme circumstances you're allowed to defend yourself in whatever method is appropriate. The one bit of the fact we have in video clearly shows it was not appropriate ...
But then again, Floyd was not a saint either. Sure, he was trying to change his life around (I'll bite), yet had all types of drugs in him, forged currency ...
The rest? We don't know expect for bits of video. I might have an active imagination or I might suspect I know something, but that does not make it fact. Many people do not understand the difference or care. Now a country's burning.
As for not living in the USA etc? Amen! (oh dear, now I'm gonna be a zelaot Christian broederbonder). But I also pointed that out in this thread - nobody cares to understand. So I suggest you're wasting your time. Meanwhile, in the media, things are more like "Breaking news? No problem, we fix that!"

Complains about generalisation immediately after generalising. Comically hypocritical.

Gee, sounds awfully similar to what people have been pointing out for years and years. The police don't keep these communities safe, don't solve the crimes and flagrantly abuse them with impunity.

More to trigger the racist redneck Trumptards.
A timeline of the George Floyd and anti-police brutality protests
Protests over the US police killings of Black people have spread across the US, and worldwide.
www.aljazeera.com
The police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25 sparked protests across the United States and worldwide.
A video of the incident shows Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, kneeling on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes as the 46-year-old pleaded: "I can't breathe."
Following the killing, protests erupted in at least 140 US cities, with thousands of people taking to the streets against police violence. While protests have remained largely peaceful, looting, vandalism and fires have taken place in some cities. The police have also used tear gas and other non-lethal projectiles on protesters, including on peaceful gatherings.
National Guard troops were activiated in more than 20 states, and several cities imposed temporary curfews.

What's also fairly amusing is his admonition of this being "n00b level stuff", when he hasn't shown even an inkling of curiosity about any of the underlying factors or data on this topic. n00b level stuff indeed.

Meanwhile, closer to home
This reminds me of the taxi wars. Taxi drivers are supporters throwing half bricks at cops. Until somebody realized the cops where hiding behind their taxis - they were destroying their own vehicles:

As @Craig also points out in his last paragraph ... https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/george-floyd-death.1086161/page-247#post-25598731
Ooooh, sorry, this is all about outrage for the cause. So sorry. Back to burning stuff virtually. Common sense is an oxymoron.

Thing is, there's solid evidence that Obama's reforms helped, especially the consent decrees and de-militarization.
Then Trump's AG's rolled all of it back.

Same with the brutal farm murders. Not much in the media.
#FarmerLivesMatter
This is only 1 of them. This is 1 of the most recent. There are many more.
