Wonder if the Mayor is going to give the property owners in his city a Tax break for not providing police and fire protection to it's citizens.

I dont really get the point. He made a peaceful protest so we are all supposed to clap for him and agree? People can have opposing views and it can be fine. Maybe the majority see that these protesters, both good and bad, are letting a FEW bad cops influence a bad opinion and that's where the rub is. Much like regular people see the looters and put a bad view on all the protesters. This whole country seems to be of the thought that if you dont see my way then there is no in between and your wrong. What bull $#!+. Most of the time its without facts either.

Sir, i'm no preacher,not trying to preach. The Rev.Al Sharpton can say what he wants to, I don't have any say so into what he says. You have a right to say and believe what you want. Like I said, I don't condone any of the destruction that's going on around this country. But I will say again, these people are frustrated at the way they are treated by a country they Love just as much as you do. If it is "S__T to say that people need to understands each other and not just see the color of their skin,then we are F____d !!! You can't tell how a person is just by looking at a person or reading a few lines of a Fishing Forum! You say you were not directing your comments at just the black folks,but that their were "several white people" and other races involved! Narrow vision or what? But again I don't know you as a person and I will not judge you either. Again, what will it take for us all, Black,White,Brown, people to treat each other with respect and dignity. I see you live on Lake Palestine. Hope you are catching a lot of fish. Maybe we could wet a line or two? Have a Blessed Day. We are all in this together!!

Say what you want but the only people that make this stuff racist, are the racists. Not one single person knows what was going thru that cops head, the two guys in GA head, none of them. The people that jump right to skin color are the true racist in this country

Very true ^^^^^^

Interesting results from the Autopsy:

Autopsy Shows George Floyd Did Not Die of Traumatic Asphyxiation or Strangulation

Preliminary autopsy findings by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner show that George Floyd, who died Monday in police custody in Minneapolis after an officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes, did not die due to strangulation or traumatic oxygen deprivation.

While the full report from the Medical Examiner is pending, the initial results, as cited in charging documents (pdf) against the recently fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, indicate that “the autopsy revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.”

Floyd died during an incident prompted by someone calling 911, claiming he was behaving erratically and tried to pay for something with a counterfeit $20 bill.

Chauvin, who was filmed kneeling on Floyd’s neck, was arrested on Friday and charged with second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder. The criminal complaint against him alleged he “caused the death of George Floyd by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life.”

The autopsy report cited in the complaint suggests Floyd died from a combination of heart disease and “potential intoxicants in his system” that were aggravated by the restraint placed on him by officers, which involved Chauvin applying his knee to Floyd’s head and neck area for an extended period.

“The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death,” the report said, noting that Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck “for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total,” including almost two minutes after Floyd was non-responsive.

So it appears if you take out one factor, the knee to the neck for nearly 9 minutes, which was preventable and unnecessary, then he would still be alive today.

And maybe call an ambulance.

Keep in mind it wasn't just a knee, that knee had a full grown human male in full police gear on top of it.

They should have cracked him in the head and hauled him off. Should have taken 2 minutes.

All I know is that now the daily number of protests may soon surpass the daily number of Covid-19 cases.

Plus two other people on his back. 4 should have been arrested.

What is Covid-19?

Considering what was released on the autopsy so far. Seems drugs and heart condition didn’t help none. They charges will be dropped to lesser charges if it sticks.

For a full 8 1/2 mins ? Think about that , that's a LONG time
