Of course it's accidental, it's always accidental when some dirtbag is in the crosshairs, but be my guest and go out and do the same, and we'll see how you fair when it's all over.

So you think the dead guy was a dirt bag? WOW, judging the victim and the police.

Most won't be happy till their pet criminals make this Amafia instead of America.

'Take our children long as it is popular and we can feel good about ourselves hating on non criminals.

If you think this will not happen, then you really do not understand how the world works in the good old USofA. But if the police are convicted of a crime, in regards to the death, the relatives could not sue the city in my state. Laws differ depending on what state you are in.

Yes I heard several people yelling out saying he can’t breathe and yes if he can say he can’t breathe it does mean he is getting some oxygen or he wouldn’t have lasted for a full 7 minutes. Clearly it wasn’t much or he wouldn’t have died either.

If you lived in the city where the riot is, you would have a different opinion. If you owned a business in this city, and your business is broken into and your insurance goes up, you would have a different opinion. If your child, no matter what the age, is killed during a senseless riot, you will have a different opinion.

If you are driving down the street, and get caught in a riot, pulled from your car which is burned, and beaten up, you would have a different opinion. It’s one thing to sit all nice and cozy and safe and spout nonsense in your home. It’s another thing to be a victim of a riot.

Who is paying for all the damage done during a riot? The people who are rioting. Whose taxes are going to up? The people who are rioting. Who are going to lose services because of the riot? The people who are rioting. Who are the stupid people in the world? Rioters.

This world is an even more dangerous place knowing there are many others who think just like you.

I understand that murder is murder, the rest is insignificant.

I will take your word that you heard yelling. We do not yet know why he died, but new video shows he fell, on his own, before he got to the back of the police car. It is a developing story. The rush to judgement is ridiculous.

Now there are riots in Los Angeles. These stupid people, the rioters, deserve what they will get.
 
I have to say, I have the utmost sympathy for the man who lost his life and his grieving family. I believe most of the USA was moved and horrified by that video. That said, the riots today--smashing into Target and stealing TVs???? SERIOUSLY?? Because everyone knows that the remedy to injustice is stealing a damn television. I want to throw up my hands in disgust.

And with that, I'm out.

Exactly, the riots are horrific and there is no excuse for them.

Should be riots worldwide when incidents happen such as this, and when rioters are done assembling as one, the rioters should make their way to the doorsteps of those who are guilty and administer the same.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tripped in my life and fallen. Not once did I ever come close to dying from it.

There should be a riot in your neighborhood, right outside your house then maybe you would understand. Why don’t you start one? Or go to one-put your money where you mouth is. As I said, easy for you to want others to riot while you sit safe and warm at home.

I did not say he died from a fall. I said there was new video, new witnesses, and wait for the investigation. However, many people die from falls, just because you haven’t, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Although, I’m glad you didn’t die from a fall. I would hate that, 🥰 talking to you.

K, my bedtime. 🥱

That's the problem, and you're not alone in your way of thinking, but if it were a loved one in question, I'll bet you'd be singing a different tune.

No, actually, I wouldn’t.

The guy who, while taking my son on a walk, dumped him into a river, wheelchair and all, was not charged with attempted murder. Nor did I try and get him charged with a crime. I didn’t cause a riot although my son is American Indian, the guy that dumped him was white, and I could have claimed a race component.

My son was life flighted from the scene. Life threatening injuries, near drowning, life long injuries etc. He hit, head first, a cement piling. It was horrific.

Like an intelligent person, I waited for the results of the investigation. Our entire family waited for the results.

It seems you are wrong again, and a person prone to irrational judgements. You buy a ticket to join the rioting yet? I bet not.

No you didn’t say he died from the fall but sure suggested it. How many people die from falls? I have no idea but I certainly have an idea about how many people die from a fall after having someone kneeling on their neck for 7 full minutes.

Exactly what I was going to say!
I couldn't watch most of it.

I haven't watched any of it, and no plans to.

Food for thought: My BiL, who just turned 80, retired from the sheriff's dept. 15 years ago at a nearby county. At some point afterwards, he told me something to the effect that he didn't like a lot of the new recruits and their attitudes.

He didn't expand on that, but he was old-school and a "good cop," so I think I know what he meant.

And another thought: A lot of new cops are veterans (thanks to the endless wars) and still think the public is some kind of enemy, and treat us as such. The line between a soldier and a cops' attitude towards others is becoming blurred. Apprehend and kill are not the same thing.

The "Andy Griffiths" are a dying breed.

Not only is it apparent that you failed to follow this thread from the start, otherwise it would be clear to you as to who specifically the term "dirtbag" applies to, but it's also apparent that you struggle with engaging others in a constructive and mature manner.

I have the Minneapolis channel on my cable. This is not the first problem with the Minneapolis police. They seem to have a problem hiring good officers. I couldn't watch the video.

I, too, have heard the same about the Minneapolis Police force.
