The outrage started not because of the video that was undisputable evidence of police violence, it started because the police did not immediately arrest the officers who committed and helped with the murder of a person.
Had Minneapolis have to burn to the ground, so that they finally arrest the murderer policeman?
- corrupt_measure 6y agoIgnoring for a moment that the position the police had George in is standard for restraining a person and that George may have died from underlying heart conditions... Without the broader narrative that police disproportionately kill blacks then the killing would not have sparked riots or protests. In fact a white man was killed very recently on almost the exact same manner yet there were no riots or calls to action. Unfortunately many anarchists and terrible people took advantage of the killing to cause destruction.
- whatever1 6y agoHow is the reaction of the people relevant to our topic? Are you suggesting that the police is acting differently when they suspect that there will be an outrage, and differently when nobody is watching them?

- bitcharmer 6y agoI'm not sure if you're trolling or just very misinformed, but the position he was held in violates every single rule of police training on restraining individuals.
