Turns out that the both the police and NG shoot was very legit and NOT what was told to us by the usual liars:
Legitimacy for the protest/riots might be getting lost, but I can't imagine we get through this without some major push for change in law enforcement, whatever that may be.
Remember, for every video of rioters doing shit, there's a video of officers shoving down a man with a cane, macing a woman just walking with her groceries, or other things that (out of context or otherwise) sours the community on police
There was an NAACP letter put out that had some requests, but I can't seem to find it. Off the top of my head, they asked for;There’s enough evidence for a conviction, enough raw footage to charge individuals with looting/disorder, but what will all this look like in six months? As I’m led to believe there are more people legitimately protesting on issues; poverty, housing etc. than a small group of rabble rousers, so what will change look like? Will cops get more resources? Will individual states listen & act on what their constituents want?
The POTUS has done more to help minorities than any other recent previous president, so I don't know where the federal/global law enforcement change has to occur.
said that the first day of rioting.That’s another question, will this lead to more infections? This is Day 8 (?) & C-19 take 14 days to reveal itself.
It didn’t happen like that VIDEO: Reports of Sapulpa man injuring horses at Tulsa protest may not be correct – Sapulpa TimesFucking savages. Some piece of shit threw gas on a horse trailer and set it on fire with horses in it. And the driver had his kids in the back seat of the truck.
Ok, that’s a start, but underlying causes; housing, health, jobs. I’ve heard that there’s real concerns regarding these areas.There was an NAACP letter put out that had some requests, but I can't seem to find it. Off the top of my head, they asked for;
Ban to using neck restraints and chokeholds
Demilitarization of police departments and equipment
National level guidelines for what police escalation of force should looks like
Make public all officer documentation regarding complaints, retraining, and certifications
The establishment of community review boards
While I agree with the first half regarding POTUS, the second half is inaccurate (law enforcement change). This whole episode (the video that started it) is not an issue with race. People need to stop with the race, there is nothing on that video that shows any form of racism. What it does show is a long time problem with policing and policing administration in general. What I am about to say is probably not going to be popular here. Many will initially scoff, but all I ask is for you to hear me out and let me try to explain.The POTUS has done more to help minorities than any other recent previous president, so I don't know where the federal/global law enforcement change has to occur. It's all predicated on a narrative that lots of people don't care, and even more have zero capacity to change. I mean.. putting up that black box on your social media yesterday is doing wonders I'm sure

You're absolutely right. They and everyone else on both sides is making it about race, unfortunately. Thanks for the response.I'm watching videos of white people apologizing for being white and kissing boots of black people out on the streets. You might not think this is about race, and I can suggest the real problem might not be, but the BLM movement absolutely thinks it's about race.
I can't rebuttal anything from the rest of your post because of I have zero experience. I'll leave the current and past LEOs.
Because he’s right.Can someone explain to me again why I care what a former general thinks when he has zero experience in Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA).
Governors mobilizing the State National Guard and the President of the United States sending in active-duty troops is not even remotely the same thing. You know it, I know it, and the American People know it.Does he {Mattis} also take issue with all these State's Governors are currently activating their National Guardsmen to support the defense of their cities burning down?

The Defense is going to be all over this. Floyd's family had an 'independent' autopsy done and their results were released on Monday.
