What was it? Tweet has been deleted.
LAPD police chief said looters are just as responsible for Floyd's death as the police are.

He's trying to walk that stupidity back now, but there's no coming back from that shit.

still not sure why this is happening. this wasn't a Rodney King or "brutality" situation involving batons. the guy died accidentally during the course of a legitimate arrest. the officer in question has been arrested and the justice system is working. who knew the country was such a racial tinderbox?

I think the nation has become a recreational outrage tinderbox and this issue has legs for legitimate reasons so the scale is off the charts

GTFO. Not a "brutality" situation? There is nothing legitimate about continuing to kneel on a guys neck that is already down on the ground in handcuffs and begging for air. Continuing to kneel on their neck for 2-3 minutes after they lose responsiveness and consciousness.

I certainly don't agree with rioting. But to try and make excuses for a man dying in this manner is disgusting.

You're assuming he put all of his weight on his left knee and none on his right. "Can't breathe" would be relevant if he died of asphyxiation, which he didn't. He was high on Fentanyl and died of a heart attack. Cops don't generally "brutalize" perps in broad daylight with cellphone cameras around. This was manslaughter at best.

This is nothing more than an opportunity for the left and the media to sow discord in an election year. That's a fact. If Obama was still president, it wouldn't have been half as bad and he would've received none of the blame. You can take that to the gd bank.
