Thanks for posting the videos. This is stuff we need to see and respond too.
Now for my followup statement:
The cop who had his knee on the victims neck should have been arrested and faced trial, along with his partner for allowing this to happen. Let the jury decide this man's fate, which in my opinion would be best if he spent the rest of his life prison.
As for the riots, it was unnecessary. I get the anger these people have towards what happened, but burning your city to the ground is not the proper way to get justice. In fact, it negates the whole message you are trying to tell people. This is how you get labeled terrorists and this is how you end up in jail.
I seriously hope the man responsible faces a swift trial and pays for the crime he did. Regardless of who George was or what he did to get arrested that day, he was still entitled to his day in court and that was taken from him.

Without the video and these riots, nothing would have happened to the cop.
And destroying dozens of others. What would the man, George Floyd, think about what they are doing? Do you think he would be happy? I think he would be disgusted. He would be happy if they did not destroy the city he lived in, his home. If they complained loudly and widely that is something else, but rioting and desecrating the community is just wrong no matter what.
If people just sat around complaining on the internet or held up signs on the sidewalk nothing would happen.
Hey I don't agree with it, its far from perfect, all I'm pointing out is that it's working, and IMO, a massive amount of professional organization would have been needed to fix it the "right way" and that just wasn't possible.
That is the problem. Federal was getting involved much quicker than in the past, but this happened within 2 day period. That is professional antagonists causing it to be worse.
Saying it would have been taken a massive amount of professional organization denies one thing. This is now going to take much longer than just doing it the right way. Cause of these riots it is going to take multiple times longer because of the sudden and surging amount of work being added.
Riots are to be the last thing to be used not the first. They normally make things much worse than better in the end.
Not attacking you, just pointing out that what can be considered effective can be situational at best. If a much higher authority got involved before the riot starts it would take much less time, but when a riot starts regardless though it creates much more work making the thing that started the riot take a seat on the backlog until the situation is sorted. It could take weeks instead of days now, and with much more people now going to jail or being shot.
I will say this;

what about the other two cops on him? i have read that the cop on his back made it hard for the guy to breathe.
Without the video and these riots, nothing would have happened to the cop.

Complain all you want, but their tactics are WORKING, at least for getting that cop fired and on trial.
