    Disgusting. The officer that killed Floyd by keeping his knee on his neck should be charged and convicted of felony murder, and the other three should be charged and convicted as accessories to murder. All of them should spend the rest of their adult lives in a prison cell.

    I just saw some video from about an hour ago. It looks protesters breached the vehicle yard of the precinct and severely damaged several vehicles. The police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. I'm hearing reports saying live fire was being used by both protesters and police but haven't seen anything to confirm that.

    This is what I was worried about. The more this happens, the more "acceptable" the herd mentality will become.

    How do you stop this? Police force. What do these people want to protest? Excessive police force.


    That's why I was being serious when I asked about riots....

    That's because you saw it in video.


    As a white man, I am ashamed that this kind of stuff still happens. Hell, I'm ashamed that the first thing I often notice about a person is their race. Not that I would judge somebody on it, I just hate that it's a distinguishing factor.

    I am sick and tired of minorities being held down by my race.

    Stay safe, man. I hope it doesn't get too bad.


    People are too predictable though.

    It's raining heavily here now. I'm watching a live feed and it looks like things have calmed down. There still is a crowd infront of the precinct but doesn't look too big.

    America is becoming (has already become) a broken country. Disgraceful systemic institutions are all over the place. No one should be proud to be an American citizen. World leader? More like world disappointment.
