Protests are happening right outside The Zone

All I see is a bunch of indefensible acts on both sides. A cop should never drive through a crowd of unarmed people.

And the people who have turned this into an opportunity to rob and destroy small businesses (minus The Zone,) aren’t helping matters either.  This should be about George Floyd and the countless other black people who’ve been brutally ******** for no reason. Vandalism and violence isn’t going to make anyone take this seriously. And the whole point is getting lost in the chaos.

The media wants you to hate ALL cops even though it’s the minority of them who are racist bigots that would never have even graduated high school if they weren’t football players. Hate the cops who did this; not an entire profession or race. 

"the media"

"both sides"

"very fine people". where have I heard that.

I know it’s hard not to hate all of them but we have to be smarter than that. Hate the cops who did this; not an entire profession or race. 

I see what you are saying but it isn't that easy. I think Chris Rock said it best  that some professions can't have bad apples. He compared it to American airlines saying most of our pilots are good at landing but some like to crash into mountains. I'm paraphrasing but you get the point.

Are they supposed to just hope and pray that when they get pulled over or heck even just walking down the street that the police that stops them isn't a bad one? They are literally betting their lives on it. 

We have to hold these people accountable as a whole because at the end of the day this is a profession they chose. Black people didn't choose to be black. And they should never have to apologize for it either.

edited to add there were 4 cops involved with George Floyd. Not all 4 had their knees on his neck but they didn't stop it either. On paper he's a good cop since he didn't participate in the act but he was complicit in letting it happen. Had we had just 1 cop just 1 he may still be here.

Where did I say “very fine people”? I didn’t. Don’t quote me as saying things I never said. Not cool.

I am OUTRAGED and mourning for the losses too. Don’t get me wrong. A change needs to happen because this bull ***** happens far too often to be a coincidence. It’s a human rights issue that needs to be dealt with appropriately.

then stop normalizing police brutality and spewing racist talking points. you know damn well the protests are infiltrated by deplorables hired by you know who fanboys.

also, this remains real and unacceptable:

If you're really an ally put your white privilege to good use. Don't give us your "all lives matters" and "on both sides "crap

I agree 100%. 

But looting and violence isn’t the appropriate course of action if you want to make a real change. If we let emotions dictate our actions then we are headed for destruction because we are fvcking pissed!

I don't think it was in this thread but someone posted videos that prove most of the looters are actually not even apart of the protesters.

Unfortunately there will always be people like this to deter from the message.

It’s extremely unfortunate because it detracts from the point.

You know damn well what you said. Also, you're still ignoring the numerous proof on video of white folks looting and vandalizing businesses.... clearly infiltrated the protests with an agenda.

why won't you say anything about it? take your "both sides" crap and shove it. you've been exposed, along with your lil racist Exhaler friends.

You’re right — I do know damn well what I said. The problem is you don’t as it seems to have soared far above your little head. 

I wasn’t talking about blacks vs whites when I said “both sides” but of course you’re trying to come at that angle. I was referring to people vs law enforcement.

And I’m still waiting on your proof of how I “normalized police brutality”.  I’ve given you a couple hours and you’re still coming up empty handed.

When did I say that?!

You’re trying to fight with me by putting words into my mouth and you’re just embarrassing yourself at this point. 

[C0CKy]

Just want to drop this here because the media will NEVER show you this.
