I have not seen anything like this since the aftermath of the Rodney King beating in 1991. Rodney King, a black man, was beaten half to death by a group of Los Angles police, who used heavy truncheons, and many kicks to the head, which was filmed by a passer-by.

Rodney King, unfortunately for him, kept "twitching", which brought on another round of police beating. In spite of the filming, which clearly showed that Mr King was beaten senseless, the police were found "NOT GUILTY". That was the start of the "South Central Riots" of L.A.

The situation is a powder-keg. The fuse has been lit and unless the cops who murdered George Floyd are arrested... and soon, the pent-up righteous indignation will explode.

Don't be a bit surprised when police are set up and ambushed by teams of snipers.
I see Trump was spouting about the setting fire to the cop-shop, he said "You loot, we shoot". Well that's certainly going to cool things down - he needs to engage his brain before he puts his mouth in gear.

There are degrees of imperfection. IMO MLK crossed the line big time.

As for any "guilt of slavery", that should be taken up with the slave masters, not their kin. Any guilt died with them.

How ?
That he was a womaniser and copied some of his speeches ?
Hardly comparable to lynching people or kneeling on their necks until they die or the thousand other acts of inhumanity the black people have suffered in America .
They don’t need the guilt of slavery they repeat acts of injustice everyday look at that lying woman in the park .LYING INCITING HATRED of a birdwatcher who asked her to put her dog on the lead . She was in the wrong but she lied and had the police come and shot that man she would have been as guilty as any southern plantation owner .

As it was the woman - who was some sort of investment banker lost her job over the incident serves her right



The man shows more compassion to her .

Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

It has just been announced that the cop who knelt on George Floyd's neck until he died has finally been arrested and charged with murder. As of this moment, he is still in custody and no bail has yet been set. If he is determined to not be a flight risk, bail would normally be paid by the police union.

Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

Classing this incident as murder is more than a little premature. It is more than possible that it is a case of one man maintaing control over a peep who had proved difficult to control that went wrong. There is no indication that it was done with the intent of killing the prisoner.

Re: Murder by Police - George Floyd

Yeah right .
The CCTV camera and multiple witnesses showed he had showed no resistance at all .Its clearly the case of a bully who has gone too far ( he has some 18 complaints about him none upheld ) the other policeman - Thao who stood there impassively - has already been in one brutality case and the police settled with the victim out of court at $25000 .
The man was handcuffed how much control do you need ?
Nope AD you are wrong on this one that man coldly and deliberately killed that man .
When a man stops breathing and you still kneel on his neck you don’t care if he lives or dies .
He died.
