The unrest in Minneapolis that began Wednesday and stretched into Thursday morning ravaged several blocks in the Longfellow neighbourhood. It was the second consecutive night of violent protests following the death of George Floyd, who was left gasping for breath during an arrest on Monday while an officer kneeled on his neck for almost eight minutes.

In footage recorded by a bystander, Floyd can be heard pleading that he can't breathe until he slowly stops talking and moving.

“Who do we call when the cops are the murderers”?

So a black person commits a crime (allegedly), gets killed for it by an a-hole cop, and some black people's solution is to commit more crimes by rioting?  Brilliant.  Won't get shot by police for that!

The cop had his knee on the man’s neck for 7 minutes while other cops watched. 

Someone watching identified themselves as a 1st responder (heard on the video) and told the cop that he was killing the man....    3 separate videos show the crime. 

No charges laid...   apparently, there’s not enough evidence.

Look at the videos, there's the evidence. Further murder charges will be brought I expect.

I honestly don't blame them for rioting.  Cops often get off on these kids of things.  So they feel they have to take justice into their own hands.  Sad situation.
