A worthwhile quote as law enforcement leaders around the nation distance themselves from this controversial police killing that has sparked worsening American civil unrest . . .
“This is clearly improper use of technique and procedure, do not do this,” said Nathan Garrett, a Kansas City Police Commissioner who had previously served as board president. “This is what happens when you deploy, utilize bad technique in improper ways, this is the outcome. Do not do this.”

Democrat City and Democrat State. They do need change NOW.
ReplyDeleteIf it was "WHITEY" on the ground and a "BLACKIE" cop, you wouldn't have heard SHHHHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTT........ Just another reason for them to act like the ANIMALS they are (the ghetto folk that is!).
ReplyDeleteSigned,

The officers involved need to be charged accordingly no if's or buts about it. Those who are destroying private property as well need to be charged and those stealing from businesses as well need to be rounded up and charged accordingly. Nobody is above the law rather in law enforcement or private citizen. George Floyd didn't deserve to die and his death isn't carte blanche for waves of violence and thievery to take place.

DeleteDave nails it. Use this quote TKC. It's the only reasonable words we'll read in Kansas City today.
WELL HEY, Stupor Dave, welcome back! I was thinking you had died from the grippe!
DeleteOh, sorry. Not thinking. "Hoping."
How sad and empty your life is, 1:38.
Delete" I CAN"T BREATHE, BRUH"............ lol You watch, TOXICOLOGY Report will come out and show the HOMIE was under the influence of either PCP, METH, or CRACKUS-COCAINIS and died from "EXCITED DELIRIUM" and not from the knee to the neck...
ReplyDeleteThe darkies jump at the chance to rob and loot. I can believe the steroided out psycho cops are so stupid as to believe no ones watching see that’s what happens when your raging on steroids all day while your running a speed trap eventually you explode what a dangerous dumbass cop
ReplyDeleteThe cop needs to be locked away for a long, long time. It's obvious he was either interested in seeing what putting a knee on someone's neck does to a person (experimental psycho-type), or else he already knew it would kill this man and decided to go forward with it. Either way, the guy should be in prison for decades.

ReplyDeleteMost black adults understand the hypocrisy of only caring about the handful of times a white officer kills a black person, and ignoring all of the other deaths. This garbage is mostly propagated by white liberals, and make up about half of the protesters. Gang hoodlums lootin' and white liberals marching. What a great combination.
ReplyDeleteThis guy did not deserve to die - that said no media outlet wants to print his rap sheet - no doubt it is a mile long. He was forging checks at the time of the incident. So, it is hard to believe stories of what an angel he was...
ReplyDeleteFry the cops who did it, and go after the violent protest and looting.
COPS KILLD A BRUTHA IMAGONNA GETS ME A NEW TEEVEE!!!
ReplyDeleteThe "Gentle Giant" G. Floyd went to prison for 5 years for a home invasion armed robbery. arrested 2007, 2009-2014 in prison, moved to MN when he got out.
ReplyDelete^^^ Hey now, I heard he was just turning his life around.
ReplyDeleteThing of it is, still didn't deserve to be killed in that way.
That kind of police action endangers EVERYONE.
He doesn't have to be prefect because what the police did was so obviously wrong. Most police even think so.
Diversity Is Our Strength !
ReplyDeleteExactly, the cops went out of their way to make themselves look worse than the thugs.
ReplyDeleteI can't breath and I'm suffocating from the crushing media onslaught.
ReplyDeleteI keep waiting for a journalist to ask someone 'from the community' why this death is fucking up your shit, but all of the daily deaths don't? And how come when 500+ white people are killed by police, no one cares?
ReplyDeleteIs Anderson Cooper on the scene?
ReplyDeleteWe don't know yet whether he was killed "in that way." Wait for the autopsy and tox report.
ReplyDeleteOf course, finding out that Eric Garner did not die from a choke hold didn't matter to the rioters, and it probably would not matter here either.
Family say,"Jes write me da fuckin' check".
ReplyDeleteDidn't know that Minneapolis was home to so many savage animals.
ReplyDeleteWell, we did know Minnesotans can’t drive for shit. Now we know they loot and steal at the drop of a hat.
DeleteKapernick started this when he put his knee on the neck of our country’s dignity. He wanted to become a SJW icon since his diminished skills lost his starting job to Blaine Gabbert. Yea, Blaine freaking Gabbert!
ReplyDeleteA perfect storm, but notice that when a bLack person kills a white person, it is not Racist. And that occurs thousands of times more annually than a cop killing a black. They both may or may not be racist. It all depends on the intent of the Murderer.
ReplyDeleteAnderson pooper doesn’t go anywhere near black people, they scare the living shit out of him
ReplyDeleteIf you're gonna loot shit at least buy it via a hedge fund first, then loot it. C'mon, rookie move there by those protesters.
ReplyDeleteThis is not only a tragedy but a crime too.
ReplyDeleteEvery decent person in this country sees it that way.
Shouldn’t have resisted arrest. Shouldn’t have committed a crime.
ReplyDeleteDelayed reaction to Biden’s, “C’mon man, you ain’t black!” comment? That was pretty offensive.

The difference between a white killing a "black" and a "Black" killing a white. One is terribly Racist while the death of a white is not. No looting and burning buildings when the whitey dies. No media coverage when whitey dies. No hollyweird stars jump in . No liberal politicians make news releases when the white person gets killed.No one cares when whitey gets killed by blackie. And The white murderer is not hidden by the white population, neighborhood or white code. No talk of giving whites more assistance and advantages over the population when whitey dies. Let's not forget the facts. There is your difference.
ReplyDeleteThe Court of Public Opinion appears to have already tried and convicted the two white Minneapolis police officers involved in this tragedy, with a single video and lots of hearsay, but this isn't over, its only the beginning, and as occurred in Ferguson, Missouri and elsewhere, other facts will come to light that may or may not end up with convictions of the two officers for murder. Many African Americans have already concluded there will be no justice for the victim and are destroying their own communities as America's punishment. Where are our leaders who can slow down this freight train to Hell?
ReplyDelete^that's because of the relationship between whites and blacks in America. A black killing a white doesn't raise any fears of black hegemony. Whereas a white killing a black brings a fear of a return to the known history of the country. Both killings are equally wrong, but the reason one elicits more outrage than the other is based upon history and experience.
ReplyDeletethe headline states "conservatives decry property damage". Do liberals support property damage?
ReplyDeleteI am filtering my pee with my face mask. It tastes much better !
ReplyDeleteTell sister-wife I miss her.

didn't 2 kcpd officers shoot an unarmed man in Westport then they got an award for it?
ReplyDeleteall those cops should be tried accordingly as far as the riots, this is a result of systematic racism. Shitty schools, poverty, no opportunity, broken homes, drug addiction. You ever lived or went to school in the hood, then your school goes to play against the white school? The place looks like a fucking college. They already have all the opportunity in the world while you don't even have the fucking internet. Ya'll muther fuckers just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. We don't get how this elusive, fictional notion of 'white privilege' is used to excuse antisocial behavior. Not being held accountable because of 'systemic racism' or history or whatever the excuse du jour--that's Black Privilege.
DeleteWho cares, the bitch got what he deserved.

History happened. The police were used against blacks to enforce slavery, then segregation, then the drug war. White people are still calling the cops to report black people doing something innocuous, but frightening (allegedly) to the white person.
ReplyDeleteFear of blacks is killing them.
You’re a retard, so just shut up.
DeleteByron, you are an idiot and a stooge. You don’t know anything. Blacks are killing blacks.

4:40 GTFOH you're clueless
ReplyDeleteNot even a rebuttal. Good job. Black Privilege means that all the credit goes to you if you succeed, but if you fail it's never your fault. Hey, it's your dumb philosophy not mine.
DeleteAlso, how do some people rise above their origins and do better in spite of oppression and history and microaggressions and all the other shit? Blacks, Whites, anyone. Could it be that one's character and choices are mostly responsible for one's outcomes?
Nah. What was I thinking?
Niggas gonna loot, niggas gonna shoot,
ReplyDeleteniggas don't care so you better be aware
we coming to your neighbhood and makin it a nightmare.
5:20 ^^ So drug usage is the cops fault ? What part of police being racist and drug war lures poor innocent blacks into committing murder and selling/ consuming illegal drugs ? Their Choice , just like any race, gender or other that decides to get involved with illegal drugs.
ReplyDeleteTrivia game of the day. Type the name of the last non black killed by a cop that you can remember by name. Now type the name of the last non black killed by arrest that the media cared to cover . Enter in the last non black killed which sparked a riot and destroying of businesses. List them in order starting with ZERO. Because no one cares if a non black gets killed. Doesn't make the news, sell papers or burn down a city.
ReplyDeleteAsked about Minneapolis riots; Trump said responded:
ReplyDelete"I will shut down Twitter. I will shut down free speech. Nobody can fact check Dear Leader!"
My loser criminal brother is hoping riots start in Kansas City, in Plaza or near southern shopping areas. He already has specific shit he wants to steal from specific stores (as in looting) and will go to those stores and wait for a chance to do it if things get bad. Looters are not protesters. They dont care about the guy that died. They arent raising money for his family. They are unprofessional thiefs hoping the crowd mentality will prevent them from being sought out and charged later. I told him that if he comes near my house I will shoot his ass with my winchester loaded with 000 buckshot and slugs. Looters will be shot! Dead!
ReplyDeletePeople from everywhere consume drugs, but in your neighborhood its a slap on the wrist. Judge might throw it out, but if your one of us they're throwing the book at you. It goes on and on then the rest just falls in line. The problem is that you don't get it and refuse to try to understand.
ReplyDeleteThey're throwing rocks at police. I say, all police and fire leave the area and let the niggers burn.
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly well-to-do white kids from the 'burbs protesting in Minneapolis. Our next generation's MSNBC anchors, Hollywood execs, social media titans... on the streets of Minneapolis saying fuck the police, flipping off TV crews. Just like the radicals from the 60s did, then turned into corporate types. Same cycle, same privileged white kids.
ReplyDeleteIt was a terrible incident and those officers need to be arrested and charged. Now, it is not right that some people take every opportunity to cause chaos and looting and they should be arrested and charged accordingly.
ReplyDeleteLooters beware. My .308 awaits. Do you feel lucky today? You wont even see me. Its accurate out to 2500 feet.
ReplyDeleteWhen they get to prison they can form an acapella called "The Ruptured Rectums",because their going to be singing and wailing for a long time.I almost forgot"Nashing of Teeth"
ReplyDeleteBLIEron “fear of blacks is killing them”
ReplyDeleteThe whole world is in fear of the murderous blacks, they kill anyone regardless of age, sex, race or religion. The stats prove it everyday.
6:54 “Minneapolis police say the shooting happened around 9:05 p.m. outside Cadillac Pawn and Jewelry”
ReplyDelete1 shot dead during the riot last night, I’m betting more go down tonight. You can’t help but love the fact that the victim was shot in front of a place that has “Cadillac” and “jewelry” in its name! Priceless!
^^^ where’s the outrage from the kolored community over this heinous crime?
ReplyDeleteThere won’t be why, because it’s ok, they kill each other daily and it wasn’t a white guy that did it.
The stats prove the the koloreds kill 20 times more whites than whites kill koloreds.
More whites are killed by cops than non-whites, though non-whites commit a disproportionate amount of the crimes. You won’t hear this on CNN or MSNBC or in The Star. And when whites are killed by cops, Taylor Swift and BeyoncĂ© don’t have shit to say.
ReplyDeleteThe cops in Minneapolis were wrong. Did they kill Mr. Floyd? Until the autopsy and tox reports are in, we won’t know. But whatever the extent of their wrongdoings, looting, arson, and assault are not the answer and the people committing these crimes are using this as an opportunity to enrich themselves and tear down their society.
6:29 tuff guy talk, you wouldn't do shit
