    According to the fake news this guy took on the “protesters” with a crossbow and got beat up. Glad to see he remembered to put a wrist guard on both of his elbows because that inverted bow sight-grip technique he is using is notorious for causing some pretty wild string slap.

    Big food drive is on in South Minneapolis to feed the people who no longer have a job or a place to shop for food. Probably should have thought of that before you burned it all down.

    Some of folks who burned it down went back home. They should be tracked down and burn their town down

    Yes the mayors and the Governor told us outsiders were responsible for the riots, until arrest records proved otherwise.

    I would hold off on starting the rebuilding process. Since 2015 44 people have been rendered unconscious with neck restraints during arrests. The tactic was deployed a total of 237 times zero deaths until last Monday. The neck restraint was not against policy based on stat tracking. How do you find an officer guilty of murder while using an approved tactic? Yes common sense we all know what we saw but it only takes one juror.

    This is the Minneapolis police department I should have put that at the top.

    I don't know any LEAs that teach you to drop a knee to the side of the neck as an arrest technique. Knee goes between the shoulder and the spine.
    Doesn't mean you are wrong, it means they were wrong to teach it (if true.) That being said, the guy was no longer resisting. You get your weight off him unless he does it again. He was face down, restrained, and pleading for the officer to get off his neck.

    There is no scenario where that continued used of force was justified.

    I agree 100% Noodles. Just saying it only takes one. If the officer is not convicted of murder there will be riots.

    If he is not convicted of 1st degree murder there will be more riots. The family has already said they won’t accept 3rd degree murder. Not sure how they could possibly prove premeditation but who really cares about facts and laws when you can have social justice instead.

    There is video of him drawing on people, then getting his ass whooped by a very diverse crowd and him telling the news it was an african american protester that pulled him out of the car while he was minding his own business. What a knucklehead.

    There are already riots though.

    And although the world has seen, it appears evident at least one cop may have killed /murdered the guy, this is a vital part of the justice system's function.

    The perceived delay in charges, the charges themselves (murder 3, 2 or 1) to date, and the trial those accused are entitled to, before being convicted, along with a potential dismissal (hunt jury, technicality) and sentence are all additional fuel...but part of the process.

    Do any of the above justify riots, violence or other crime?

    Not a lot of rational thought going on there with the violent reaction.
