“Protests erupt” (shows about 50 people)

where's the justice for the 100 Asian women that were assaulted and robbed by 6 black men in the Bay Area

In the Floyd case, many cities were burning. Wonder what the difference is this time?

The fact that the cops were black shows it's not about race, it's the wicked ness that has taken over our hearts. If my comments cause any division my apologies and disregard my opinion.

🤔🧐💭Leadership failure. If the police felt so comfortable doing what they did in the video, that means that their leadership covertly or overtly supported this type of behavior at some point. We see a lot in the military. We are trained to contain our response(rules of engagement). Return with honor. Not with disgrace. These criminals that did this (I can't call them officers as they exemplified "conduct unbecoming of an officer" and brought dishonor to their uniform and their oath), are not solely guilty. If you observe the police chief talk she looks down and to the left, something interrogators are trained to observe as deception. Leadership is culpable as well. Prayers for peace ✌️

Investing appropriately today can save you a whole lot of stress in the nearest future

Those protestors blocking traffic might need some of this police brutality.

Then need to upgrade the charges to first degree murder plus anything else that is applicable.

[blackmantravel]

I wonder if it can be considered first degree murder after he ran and they met up with him the second time. Would it be considered premeditated

[raggedflaggon]

I wish people would treat people dying from delayed or just not having healthcare the same. So many people suffer because of the laws of the rich. Go after them if you want to change things.

This is why you shouldn't bend the knee and give your gun rights away to those that would use weapons to oppress us. 2A is very important don't rely on others or put your trust in big government and their agencies to protect you... WAKE UP.

The video was sickening to see former Poilce abusing their power and beating young black man. It is good to see people peacefully protesting!! No human being should have been treated like that. Pure evil!! Sickening to core. Not 1 person standing there did not intervene and say stop. All need to be charge. Omission failure to act is assisting crime. I have law Degree so I know what I’m talking about. Continue peaceful protest!!

[mrscpjones]

The police chief must be FIRED. It happened on her watch. This has been going on for a while. There’s no way she didn’t know about this. No way. She must go.

[Limerick]

Protests "erupt"? Jesus, don't make it sound like something it's not. That was the most gentle demonstration I've ever seen and by a few dozen people. Don't give the inevitable pro-cop/anti-black voices an excuse to start early.

[brianc]

If they break the law or damage anything arrest them, they get violent start fight back

[kayleen]

This is one protest I would have loved to have participated in.

[franciscotoscano]

Networks are hyping this story up, stay peaceful

[Boworld]

When will this country get, the tough policing needs to stop. Good people grow up being collateral damage and we are fed up with it.

Peaceful protests, is the way to people’s hearts, making them want to watch and listen. They bring people together a lot faster, raise awareness of the situation at hand instead of things protesters are doing. I’m Canadian, live in Alberta and I’m saying this has got my full attention, I actually understand what is going on this time and instead of feeling grossed out by the inhuman things I’ve seen come from past protests and ranting about it, i feel the need to rant about the situation that brought up these protests.

When is msdnc going to address the Elephant In The Room? This was a Black on Black crime! How are the BLM and the Dummycrats going to spin this incident?
