Protests following the killing of George Floyd

Ah, so worship of the almighty dollar is now just a straight up death cult with blood sacrifices upon the altar of the Dow Jones. Cool.
 
I can't fathom why the DA didn't arrest and bring some kind of charges against the other three officers right from the go. The two junior officers have already turned on Chauvin saying they were suggesting Chauvin roll Floyd on his side and that one of them couldn't find a pulse during the struggle but he refused and they couldn't overrule him. This immediately makes the prosecutor's case against Chauvin iron clad.
At a guess they were hoping that at least one of them would wobble when interviewed and give evidence against Chauvin, which is what has happened.

I think the additional video footage they collated helped as well. Initially it wasn't obvious whether they were bystanders or participants and how much each one saw or did. In the end they were presenting them with a scenario that left no room for debate. At which point, they turn on each other, and particularly on Chauvin.

That said, arresting them all as accessories pending further evidence would probably have got a better reaction - but maybe not a better chance of a murder conviction. Not many police brutality cases end with a murder conviction.
 
I can't believe the video of the old guy being pushed over. I think it's even more concerning that no one acknowledged the guy was seriously injured and went to help straight away despite it being obvious he was out cold and bleeding from the head. The video actually shows one officer being pulled away from helping by a colleague and others looking and simply carrying on.
 
Is anyone in the UK attending protests today? Seems to be a lot going on.

People on r/conservative defended the cops saying "what's this old man even doing there".

Read in a Twitter feed he has a lost/misplaced cop helmet in his left hand and was walking to turn it in. Not sure why he was pointing at the one cop's belt area. You can see the helmet in his left hand and to his left leg when he's on the ground. Looks like a riot helmet.

Do they clip their helmets on their belt when they aren't using them? Perhaps he identified someone with a missing helmet.

In any sense you could ask why he was there but ultimately it doesn't matter.
 
Well over 1000 people in Manchester Piccadilly Gardens right now for a BLM protest. Probably double that.
 
Corned beef, black pudding, beer and beans. The suspects are british.

You basically arrested a bike repair guy while pretending you stole the plans for the Death Star.
 


Ermmm not really sure carrying around a hammer, lock knife, lighter fluid, handcuffs and an iron bar can be looked at as okay during a peaceful protest really. Granted there have been some ridiculous posts by the police, like the plastic bottle petrol bomb, I'm not sure this is one.

I have no problem saying that the guy arrested and found with that "tools" is very probably not a peaceful protester and was rightfully arrested.

But what I have a problem with is, that they practically showed the same photo four times to suggest that this was a widespread problem.
And as somebody mentioned, if they are afraid of a guy with that tools, while they routinely sport military equipment against protesters, what a bunch of cowards.

No wonder they are doing nothing against heavily armed white supremacists. They are probably scared, without going in being sure of their own security and superior weapons.... P*****s
