...the death statistics and how anyone with covid dies of covid.

according to many here, thats definitely NOT the narrative at all.

[msommers]

Remember the massive response when armed protesters stormed the Michigan statehouse? Me neither.

[ZenOps]

Why would you storm a government institution. There is nothing to loot. Exact same reason why invading North Korea makes no sense.

Invading Beverly Hills? That makes sense.

Its like this new generation plays MMORPG's and knows that its not worth it to risk life and limb for a single copper piece as a reward to take down a monster, but you can always take down a town and loot it for all its worth. Education through MMORPG's is absolutely right if not occasionally morally bankrupt.

Asians should get together and take down NASA.

First time I've ever heard that analogy, quite like it

Cop is sooooo getting acquitted, Heart Condition, Drunk, and Coronavirus as mitigating factors? They should have gone for the manslaughter charge instead of second degree.

Don't forget the big one. Fentanyl in his system.

Despite Floyd being drunk, on drugs and whatever else, why didn’t the cops just toss him into the back of the SUV? Was he resisting arrest or being difficult?

He was already handcuffed and onto the ground prior to the officer killing him by kneeling on his throat

So was he a saint or not?

Being handcuffed does not mean someone can’t still resist. Was he being walked back to the police car and randomly brought down to the ground for no reason then killed?

This is starting to feel like it's gonna be the Trial of this Generation.

What a poorly disguised opinion.

What a poorly disguised opinion.

I fully support that anyone resisting arrest is subject to extra force by officers that falls within the policies of the Police department. Obviously kneeing on someone’s neck doesn’t fit that policy however extra force is justified in some cases.

[ZenOps]

So I just heard they looted the Lego store in downtown NY and they boarded it up

One step close to total anarchy I tell you.

According to reports, the knee on the back technique is either prohibited or requires extra training/certification to use - neither of which Chauvin had. In Minnesota, I think it's the latter. Even when someone is trained/certified, they are only allowed to use the technique momentarily.

If the knee pad doesn't fit, you must acquit!

With Lego blocks I hope.

God smite powers activated on the Washington Monument. Does this mean that protestors should be smitten, or the government. Or does it just mean god is in fury mode.

Another perspective worth watching. Candace Owens.

I don't think anyone is protesting to martyr George Floyd for allegedly using a fake $20 bill.

I enjoy watching her. Don't agree with a lot of things she says, I only enjoy it because she comes off as a real life Clayton Bigsby.
