Race in America - Riots Explode in Chicago

Post by kramerica.inc »

So major riots continuing in Minnesota over the death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers.

Minneapolis 3rd precinct PD burning to the ground.

It’s being reported that since night fall, there has been no authority on site- no police, fire or national guard. Police has pulled away and have not been seen for at least 3 hours.

Nearby target, liquor store and other businesses all engulfed in flames and spreading. No end in sight.

Riots also reported in St Paul and Phoenix, Az.

And Trump throws a little gasoline on the fire via Twitter:
I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right.....

....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!

The MN National Guard has reportedly been deployed. Normally the NG guards police stations & other govt buildings, freeing up the police to safeguard private property. It looks like zero police or NG presence.

Detailed local report :

St Paul burning & looting, as well.
500 NG troops deployed.

Fascinating cultural phenomenon.

Every time a black man dies at the hands of a cop the whole neighborhood gets new flat screen TV's, microwaves, and air conditioners.

Notice "black lives matter" is tryin to generate energy from the Minneapolis incident to loot some appliances in other cities now too.

Yep its about the racism.

I just posted about this.

And yet the unfortunate death of a single black man in Minneapolis has taken over the news cycle.

Evil racist white men Trump and republicans responsible.

More election ammo for dems. Even though democrats have run Minneapolis for 5 decades.

One more thing that suggests this virus isn't as serious as they want us to think it is.

Don't kid yourselves that the entirety of the Democratic Party doesn't wink at the mayhem as well. The 'Venezuelan experience' is exactly what you would get in America if the Dems got their policies here.

The Minney Mayor is such a wimp...holy moly, who elected that 'kid'? He ordered his police to abandon a station to allow the rioters to set it on fire, and most of not all of the rioters were Antifa, not dsimayed black voters. What a putz. The Democrats, Antifa, and BLM deserve each other so hard.

Well, Trump just won Minnesota, and with Klobuchar knocked out of the picture because she didn't prosecute this cop, Trump likely just won the November contest as well.

Great job, everyone!

It's amazing how out of touch you are with reality. :roll:

It's interesting how much you guys try to push this narrative every time in order to distract from the actual issues at hand. And you wonder why this keeps happening.

One other glaring irony by this board's Dems (and the national Democratic Party) is how they can't publicly admit the age old maxim: absolute power corrupts absolutely.

You can see their hypocrisy play out in real time. The Fanlax left decries the policeman at the center of the Minneapolis killing (which is fair); at the same time they demand that we pay absolute fealty to McCabe, Strzok, and Comey. The left sees these three as beknighted federal employees saving a Republic from the uncouth Trumpian dystopia. Not for a second do they realize that those three and the Minneapolis cop are in essence absolutely similar: unaccountable cops doing whatever they wish, with no thought of being penalized for straying from their purported mandates.

The over-weening urge of any leftist is control, control of the economy, of culture, of the mind. This necessitates the use of power, or more generally 'the police'. Although younger quasi-Democratic leftists reject 'the police', the control levers of the Democratic Party understand perfectly well that they need 'the police' to enforce their laws and mandates. They'll rush to judgment on a rogue cop caught red-handed murdering a black man, but they'll never admit that feds like Comey, Strzok, and McCacbe aren't really all that different. It's all about absolute power and accountability.

The actual issues at hand? A cop was responsible for the death of one black man in one American city.

But what s the media hype. Evil racist white people. Democrats role out the race card every presidential election.

As a campaign issue Coronavirus is a little iffy. Race drives the black voting block. THATS THE REALITY

Gotta hand it to you, PB, if nothing else, you're consistently full of schidt. Never in my lifetime have I seen a Prez so want to be the King and demand that all of the worshipers he surrounds himself with laugh at his unfunny jokes, kiss his asz, and stroke his fragile little ego in order to keep their jobs. Absolute power? This is what this horzezasz and his boyz want (Rs), Constituition be damned, King Hurtin' Heels will make all the rules around here.

This liberal democrat mayor in Minneapolis (Who initially sought to blame 400 years of racism in America) abandoned his city to violence arson looting and rioting. He actually withdrew the police from their own precinct headquaters and let it BURN. Blocks of Minneapoliss look like Beirut. But he's a democrat. No reason not to get reelected.

Except every one of his actual meaningful actions contradicts that sentiment, the judiciary being most important. He keeps nominating judges who are the only safeguard against the very ideas that you purport Trump to want. If you wish to be a despot, you would instead install weak, liberal judges who vote solely according to political winds, not law.

You could make the argument that he's not bright enough to understand that 'constitutionalist' judges are a despot's actual enemy, and I might buy that.

But you can not claim he seeks to be a despot and surrounds himself only with 'enablers' (staff, sure, but staff are not important in the scheme of things for a man (Trump) that you claim is a criminal). Those judges will be here long after Trump exits and if he is as criminal as you and others say, he is merely sealing his fate by installing constitutionalist judges who are this country's loudest enemies of political corruption.

All of this could have been avoided - had the criminally murderous cops been arrested on site the case would have closed immediately. As I mentioned on another thread, there was no need to arrest Floyd since counterfeit dollars have been circulating all over the Twin Cities for years. There is no way for civilians to ascertain whether the bill is authentic or not. As the Cub Foods store owner said he would have given back the bill to the customer and refused to give him the cigarettes - this also would have kept the peace. He was interviewed on TV and said his nephew (the guy who initially called the police) tried to call the police a second time - this time it was to get the cops to stop the criminal cops from killing Floyd! But it was to no avail. You know what happened next.

The answer to all this is simply to apply the 2d Amendment. Disarm the cops, and arm the people. If a cop tries to kill a civilian, then the armed populace stops the cop. Over the years I have challenged all forum right wingers who defend the 2d Amendment to demand this as well but they always go silent. Instead these clowns criticize Democrats when they should be criticizing themselves.

So let's hear it right wingers ~ at long last, are you going to demand an armed citizenry in order to defend people against ALL forms of abusive government or are you just going to continue to pay lip service to your phony principles?

It was probably you....

Reading is fundamental. I thought you were a lawyer? :roll:

"We are aware of the social media post that erroneously identifies one of our officers as the person caught on video breaking windows in Minneapolis. We've seen it. We've looked into it. And it's false.


"So we also want to be perfectly clear about this: The person in the video is not our officer. We don't know who that person is, but we hope he's identified and held accountable for his actions.

"Our officer? He's been working hard, keeping people and property safe, and protecting the right to peacefully assemble. It’s sad that people would post and share this untrue information, adding more confusion to an already painful time in our community."

Clearly he wasn't a civilian. Notice how he reacts just like a cop does by pushing away the camera.
