LA curfew announced 8pm to 5.30am

[Brian]

Jesus more bad news, so now downtown Los Angeles as a curfew announced. We really need to burn our city and cause mayhem when there is peaceful protest a more civilized way to be heard. Fuck a prostest is not about looting, burning cars and damaging others' property.

Killing of George Floyd is wrong. But why resort to violence and hurt the guy's memory and cause.
Say no to violence on all side and do things legally.

[bill]

some people love to loot and riot - free toilet paper, free tvs, free ...

[BrasSmonkey]

you stop a angry mob and see if police can handle it.

What happened to George Floyd was murder from all I have seen posted online, He was in handcuffs on the ground, there was no need for the excessive force displayed by the cop putting his knee on the man's neck and not removing it when Mr Floyd kept saying he could not breath. Other officers at the scene are also responsible for not intervening.

Was it racially motivated I do not know, what I do know is that rogue cop killed a man for no reason. Whatever Mr Floyd was suspected of doing did not justify the actions of the cops at the scene period.

What I do support is peaceful protest and the right to demonstrate and be heard, what I do not find acceptable is the violence, damage being done to property, looting and disorderly criminal acts by these so called "protesters." What I am seeing is not a peaceful protest but a bunch of tugs, criminals and looters.


Is there racism in America, sure thing, are there bad cops sure thing too. We do not know if the murder was racially motivated, the cop has been fired, is charged with 3rd degree murder, let it go through the justice system. The looting, violence, damage to property just goes to show how hard a job cops have in keeping the people property and country safe. Most cops are good decent individuals who put their lives at risk everyday to serve and protect, and the bad ones just get more inflamed with these kind of situations.

Everyone who is not peacefully protesting is hurting the cause of those who are and the memory of George Floyd. They should be a shamed of themselves and go home.

On the topic of black and white which this case has been made out to be, black people need to change their game plan. Stop fighting the "Black lives matter" cause and go for "All lives matter." It never ceases to amaze me that black people want equality, justice and not to have racism towards them but promote being black as if it is a right. Imagine if there was a "White lives matter" or a "White church" or a "White Congressional Caucus." The first people to be up in arms would be the black community. You will never get over racism until you raise the education of all people and opportunity to get a head in life. You have to give up on the idea that it's okay to have black associations but not white ones. Give up on this idea that we want one system for all but also want our own black associations.


At the end of the day we are all humans with ethnic and racial differences , let's play as one group, the human beings group.

A criminal complaint against former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, shows that George Floyd was "non-responsive" for nearly three minutes before Chauvin took his knee off his neck.

The complaint also cited a preliminary autopsy report that showed there were "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."

Instead, Floyd died from a "combined effect of being restrained, his underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants in his system," the autopsy revealed.

Chauvin was arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday.

George Floyd was 'non-responsive' for nearly three minutes before Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin took his knee off his neck, according to a criminal complaint released on Friday.

The complaint filed by the Hennepin County Attorney's Office also cited a preliminary autopsy report showing that there were "no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation."

Instead, the report said that it was the "combined effect of Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death."Floyd was 46 when he died. He had underlying health conditions, including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease, according to the report.

He died during an arrest on Monday after Chauvin pinned him down. Footage of the incident shows Floyd was not resisting and telling the officer: "I can't breathe."

The family plans a second, independent autopsy.

The complaint noted that police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a "prone position is inherently dangerous."

The report was filed alongside the arrest of Chauvin, who was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter on Friday. The arrest came four days after the incident. The three other officers involved in the incident, which has sparked nationwide protests, were fired on Tuesday."

Interesting report but one thing I am 100% certain of , if the Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin is not found guilty what you are seeing happen now will be nothing compared to what comes on an acquittal of the 3rd degree charges he is facing. Remember what happened when the 4 cops in the Rodney King case were not found guilty 25 years ago.

All hell broke loose then and this time it will be way worse.

I believe in innocent until proven guilty and letting the justice system run it's legal course, but the tensions are way too high now with the video out there that from all accounts looks as if the officer's knee on George Floyd killed him.

Nancy Grace who I often do not agree with said it perfectly this time, the now former police officer Derek Chauvin put his knee on George Floyd's neck is charged with 3rd degree murder and second degree manslaughter. No it is first degree murder and manslaughter, she nailed it.

I said this the first minute after seeing the video, the guy was handcuffed on his stomach, why the knee on the neck why that long and the other police individuals standing around not intervening when Mr Floyd was begging to breath are just as complicit as Chauin in his murder.

"Former prosecutor and Fox Nation host Nancy Grace challenged the severity of the charges against now-former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.

"Why is this not murder one?" she asked in the latest episode of Fox Nation's "Crime Stories" on Monday.

Chauvin was arrested Friday on charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter after video showed him kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for more than eight minutes.

Results released Monday from two separate autopsies declared the May 25 death of Floyd while in police custody to be a homicide.

Jason Oshins, a New York defense attorney, told Grace that a third-degree murder charge is essentially a "watered-down murder charge."

"It's like a criminally negligent homicide, a reckless act without regard. ... It pulls away the intention," he explained in remarks recorded prior to the release of the autopsies on Monday.

Minnesota’s state sentencing guidelines recommend 12.5 years for a third-degree murder conviction and four years for second-degree murder.

In video of the incident, Floyd can be heard saying, "Please, I can't breathe" repeatedly. Bystanders on the sidewalk can also be heard in the recording imploring Chauvin and other officers on the scene to intervene.

"The law, as I remember, presumes you intend the natural consequence of your act," said Grace, suggesting that Chauvin may have acted with an intent to kill when he kneeled on Floyd's neck despite the man's cries for help.

"You point a gun and pull the trigger -- the law presumes you mean to kill," Grace continued, "You hold your knee on a man's neck for this long -- the law presumes you mean to suffocate him."

Grace asked James Shelnutt, a 27-year veteran of the Atlanta Metro Major Case division, SWAT Officer, and attorney, if there is any instance in which the amount of force employed by Chauvin could be justified.

Shelnutt said that there isn't any justification for what he saw on that video.

"Once ... you put somebody on the ground and they're on their stomach, it is not very difficult to control that person if they are handcuffed," he replied. "There are simple techniques, such as, you know, raising the wrist up in the air a little further, it doesn't take putting your knee on the back of someone's neck to maintain control of a man that's on the ground."

"I just -- I can't fathom under what training scenario or what real-life scenario that that would be appropriate," he said.

Why then, Grace asked, is this former officer not facing a first-degree murder charge, which is punishable by life imprisonment in Minnesota.

"I think that it could be," said Shelnutt, "You and I both know that intent to commit a murder can be formed in the blink of an eye."

"This went on for eight minutes," he pointed out. "Maybe minute number one, it wasn't intentional. Maybe minute number two, maybe minute number five, maybe minute number seven. But I think that by the time you get to minute number eight and this man goes from talkative to agitated to unconscious, telling you that he can't breathe and you continue to put your knee on the back of his neck. That's a problem."

"I will bend over backwards to support the cops, to support our justice system, to support prosecutors, to try to understand why they do what they do," remarked Grace at one point in the show. "I cannot support this.""
