There’s a great deal to be upset about regarding the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers under color of authority, but it’s quite another thing for protesters to turn into rioters and steal stuff under cover of righteous indignation.
That’s what happened in Minneapolis Wednesday night after Police Chief Medaria Arradondo announced that four police officers involved in the stop on Sunday night were fired.
Floyd died in custody Sunday night after getting stopped for forgery. Floyd was held down at his neck by an officer using his knee. Onlookers recorded the hold for minutes as Floyd protested he couldn’t breathe

This is why many chain businesses don't want to go into certain neighborhoods...Any excuse.

I think Minneapolis was the town where Mary Tyler Moore threw her hat in the air and told us she was going to make it on her own........................

It’s what rioters do; show that they won’t tolerate a black death by white cops, no matter the circumstances, while grabbing Nike shoes and big-screen T.V.s while they’re righteously outraged. I dare say that blacks actually look forward to these by-cops deaths as an opportunity to loot, not that they have a care about their unfortunate bros.

The anger is justified, the rioting and stealing is not!!!!!! How do the rioters expect justice when they immediately head for Target et al. and steal....an excuse.

That knee-in-the-neck officer should be on trial for manslaughter or murder, the rioters should be on trial for theft, arson, and assault.

These incidents--by that, I mean the police misconduct--are local stories. They only gain national attention because of the race aspect and because someone died. The national media focus is what causes people to come out and riot and loot. I refuse to watch stories about these incidents that are happening elsewhere. Sorry Fox News.

i watched an American Experience show on PBS, on Sammy Davis, Jr. He was active in the legitimate civil rights movement, marched on Selma with MLK, appeared with King in the D.C. I have A Dream speech (which could be sub-titled, I stole This Speech From Another Pastor) but when MLK was shot, and blacks rioted and looted, Sammy became a Nixon supporter.
Sammy said, after King's death, 'my people are grinning, laughing, and looting. They should be in sorrow for the loss of a great leader.' (not a precise quote, but darned near)
Nixon, an advocate for black equality, invited Sammy to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom, the first black to do so.

Rodney King, Michael Gentle-Giant Brown, Freddie Whatshisname, George Floyd. These people create so many days of discount shopping that maybe we can do away with Black Friday.
Or - they can adopt a policy of not committing crimes and ending up under a cop's knee. Adrenaline tends to kick in when one is dealing with an uncooperative hostile who is that big.

I never can understand the looting and arson. What goes through these people's minds? Do they not have any honor or morals at all? Target should close this store permanently and let them not have a place in their own neighborhood to shop. I certainly would not open it again. Target can do perfectly fine without them as customers.

As another said I’d close Target and in simple terms, for the locals, explain why they are leaving and going to a better, safer, location. Buh bye.

It's an off-shoot of the Covid-19 strategy. Create enough political and economic chaos so President Trump won't be re-elected.

Whenever I see someone on the news running out of an store with a flat screen TV and basketball shoes in his arms, my first thought is, "He must be fighting for social justice."

Is there still the video of the older woman in a wheelchair getting beat down by one of the rioters; at least it was a girl who was pounding on the old woman's head.

The looters are betraying a deeply entrenched entitlement mentality, which has been bred by "progressives." They feel entitled to steal because of perceived injustices. Please note that some of the looters are white. This isn't a black problem. This is a Leftist problem. And this nation is in serious trouble. I fear Minneapolis will go into martial law, given the backdrop of anger that is throughout the political spectrum, with the pandemic fueling and exposing the flames. No doubt, some of the businesses that will be targeted are owned by people who were recently permitted to open. Imagine their anger and frustration when they are torched or looted just when they were trying to get back on their feet. Yes, this is a recipe for disaster.

These useless vermin didn't know or could care less about George Floyd he was just the excuse to go shopping for an early Christmas season. I know one place they didn't burn and loot the cigarette store with all the armed men around it.

Said it before, say it again...do just exactly what the officer says and then argue your case in court...fight him/her/them and you're gonna come out on the short end because they have to win...ol George is a Darwin contestant...

I saw whites looting alongside the blacks. Liberals should be happy to see the comradery among the races. I wonder how long before we see the Revruns show up for their camera time.

Oh man, I am so glad this wasn't posted yesterday, for the bad jokes are writing themselves in just this snippet. But I respect Lucianne too much to toss a stinker into her Salon.

Reflexively violent inner city thugs, always looking for a way to hit someone for some disagreement, imaginary or real, and then turn it into a chance to steal.
It was true in the 1960s and is still true half a century later.
