Minneapolis cops in riot gear last night fired rubber bullets and tear gas at thousands of defiant protesters who took to the streets to demand justice for George Floyd, the black man who died after a white officer was filmed kneeling on his neck during his arrest.
Demonstrators carrying placards reading 'I can't breathe' and 'Justice 4 Floyd' surrounded a police precinct Tuesday night after the disturbing video of 46-year-old Floyd begging the cop to stop before falling unconscious was shared online.
Four members of the Minneapolis Police Department who were involved in Monday's incident have now been fired, and the FBI and state law enforcement authorities have launched an investigation into Floyd's death.
The victim's heartbroken family have called for the cops to be charged with murder and their lawyer revealed white cop Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for a staggering eight minutes during the arrest for forgery.

The BCA needs to get off their donut eating asses and make the arrest. There is enough video out there for an indictment.
They are right. That video was disgusting.
Murder charges due, and I'm a white reader
How does looting figure into a protest for Justice and Law? seems like they just use a crisis for free shopping.
People of all races should be outraged at this disgusting display of police brutality. Police officers need to be held accountable for their actions. The decision to fire the officers involved in this killing rather than suspending them or placing them on administrative duty is a good one. The DA needs to file criminal charges and have these now ex-cops arrested and put behind bars while they await their day in court.
let's not forget about the other Black and Asian cop that was there that did NOTHING.
Why does it matter what color you are? It doesnt give any additional emphasis does it. It was wrong right? The cop was wrong, the cop murdered him. That conclusion shouldn't differ based off what color you are.

And you are too stupid to think for yourself. Ole Whitey!
I am angry about this obvious murder by the cop!
And there could be even more video that your expert eye has not seen. I am guessing you thought the innocent policeman was wrong in the fake “hands up don’t shoot” crap that held the town hostage for some time.
While I do believe the cops should be charged this kind of primal behavior they engage in is disgusting. They can't even have a protest without getting violent. Maybe this is why some cops act the way they do. It seems these people can not ever be trusted to not get violent. They don't protest they riot. They only end up hurting themselves. Look at Baltimore. After the riots the black on black crime sky rocketed and the murder rate is breaking records.
Just think I was once concerned about the actions of the officers. Now I get it. When in the ghetto act like the ghetto dwellers do.
That’s exactly why people are saying all 4...HELLO

Absolutely did I NOT think the Ferguson officer was wrong. I also though zimmerman was right to shoot the SOB thug who was beating him up I called the officers in Baltimore the INNOCENT Baltimore 6 from the beginning. Unless things change with the ones in Georgia I believe that shooting was 100 percent justified. Arbery was without any doubts the aggressor and anyone who denies this has either not viewed the video or is not an honest person One thing about me is my honesty. I call it like it is after looking at things with a completely unbiased eye.
Let the other side race bait. We are better than that. This was a MURDER and these violations of the Constitution are happening far too often.
Would it change your mind if I said there were white girls running out of Target with arms full of stolen merch?
If you don't see this as a predictable reaction to a horrific unjustified murder then you are heartless. Do you think that we should hold the police and an angry mob to the same standards. I have seen most of the ISIS kill videos and they never tortured anyone for 7 minutes as they killed them. How about that for a standard for the police, Let's try to be better than ISIS.
Take out the rubber and replace with lead.
I hope they burn the town to the ground. The entire city.
Northwest Woodsman: Heartbroken my butt! That family is ecstatic because they just won the ghetto lottery. No matter what the result of the investigation concludes, affirmative action will dictate some financial payout at taxpayer expense.
THIS is where the black community LOOSE all respect they just can't help themselves in rioting and stealing .. Me I would Shoot them to protect my property especially since no cops will show up.

You should try n stop all of the white people from overdosing on heroin and breaking in cars just to get high n die.
11:41 because holding hands and singing spirituals did what? Nothing. It's 2020 and this generations isn't the same generation as their grandparents. The protest of 60 years ago accomplished nothing as you can see. The country is just as racist today as it was in the 50's. You also don't seem to understand you're not the only ones with guns. People are tired of the racism, tired of the unequal treatment. No wonder whites are afraid of becoming the minority. You're afraid of being treated as blacks have.

Wouldn't change my mind at all. Useless waste of air trash can be white also. Haven't you ever heard of white trash. All I can say is if there are whites there they are right where they belong with their kind primal uncivilized wastes of air. Birds of a feather.
10:09 I saw this as predictable I expected it to happen. While predictable it is not normal and not how civilized human beings ever act no matter what. That they revert back to that primal behavior is a sign they have not evolved into civilize human beings.

What that pig did to that citizen is murder.
It was cold blooded murder.
If they do it to this guy, they will do it to you and me.
This is outrageous and cannot be allowed to stand
