Are We Great Yet?

Protesters are toppling Confederate statues in the United States.
BE WARNED SOME OF THE VIDEOS ARE GRAPHIC.

America is on fire.

Again, suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. There are incidents of theft, lootin, arson, felonious assault, criminal destruction, homicide, tampering with evidence, violating curfews and numerous misdemeanors. I cannot determine if any of these people were criminally charged.

The three months of uncertainty. June, July and August.

These are the months of Summer. The "Long Hot Summer" is a phrase that was coined in the late 1960s. When racial tensions reached a peak during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, there were unrest in urban centers.

Police are overwhelmed by the protests. The governors are overwhelmed by COVID-19 and unrest in their states. They look to the American president. He's looking towards Fox News and far-right outlets to channel his direction.

Under President Donald J. Trump, the United States has over $28.9 trillion in debt. Trump has spent more than most presidents in modern history. He was handed a healthy economy under his predecessor Barack Obama. In a mere 3 1/2 years, Trump and the Republican Party has place the United States in a state of uncertainty.



Today he is still tweeting instead of healing.






We have over 115,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus. COVID-19 has been the most prevalent in the United States. African Americans, elderly, first responders and journalists are most at risk for the coronavirus. Trump was warned by the World Health Organization and his own intelligence agencies. He had called it a "Democrat hoax" and said that the virus will disappear.

Now he's calling himself a "bull in a China shop" when it comes to handling a pandemic that has no signs of easing up. He was too focused on trying to pass that "wonderful" trade deal with China.

Trump said that he was "stopped the virus" by closing off travel from China. His "travel bans" did not stop the coronavirus from spreading. The virus doesn't know borders. Folks are asystematic and they probably didn't know they had it traveling from the places where the infection rates were high.

He all but ripped it up by trying to impose sanctions on the China, cut funding to the WHO, punish countries that supported the decisions to take action before the United States and blame Obama for his own handling of the pandemic. Mind you that COVID-19 is a new disease and no one knew about the virus. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, then National Security Advisor John Bolton have eliminated the White House Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents. He dismantled the rapid response team and poorly prepared for the pandemic. The pandemic warnings went as far back to October 2019 when the United States was ranked one of the least prepared countries for a disruption to normality.

We are the leading nation in gun violence, coronavirus cases, global pollution and polarization.

Gun violence continues despite the "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts going out to."

There's been over 250 mass shootings in the United States. Many of these mass shootings don't get the national attention they deserve. Because all mass shootings start off local right.

We have unrest in the United States.

Since the killing of George Floyd, it became the match that lit a flame.
Trump aimed at Joe Biden for siding with the protesters.
Protests across most urban communities with demands to stop dehumanizing Black people.

Stop insulting our intelligence.
Stop profiting off our pain.
Stop advocating division.
Stop profiling us.
Stop killing us.
Stop intimidating us.
Stop making us the "villains."

Across the nation, we have seen American protesters light fires to historical monuments. They have toppled Confederate statues. They had burned down entities of racism.
Trump called governors weak for not stopping the rioting in the country.
The New York Police Department, Los Angeles Police Department and Atlanta Police Department are doing damage control after incidents of brutality and white nationalism showed up on social media.














There were some white people who wanted to instigate and disrupt the "Justice for George Floyd" protests. A white man was swinging a sword or machete at protesters. He was beaten up and left unconscious.

I won't mention his name. The man was rushed to the hospital after he was attacked by 10 to 15 men during a night of mayhem in the wake of protests that turned into intermittent rioting and looting all across the country.






This video captured the assault and shows a gang of black and white people surrounding the white man as he is beaten and kicked on the ground. Additional video shows part of the confrontation that lead up to the attack and shows people throwing objects towards the man.
The New York Police Department caught on camera by Global News Canada trying to plow protesters.

There was a Black man who was shot and killed in an Omaha restaurant by a white extremist. That white extremist was upset over a discussion he overheard about Black Lives Matter. James Scurlock, a 22-year-old protester was shot and killed by some white extremist. An Omaha bar owner allegedly shot him and is in police custody being questioned about the shooting. The bar where he was shot was destroyed by protesters.




A white man in Salt Lake City tried to attack protesters with a crossbow. He was there instigating by shouting "ALL LIVES MATTER" and shouting epithets at protesters. He was aiming his crossbow at protesters. As soon as he shot off an arrow, he was confronted and beaten badly. His vehicle was turned over and set on fire.







A witness said the man drove up near a crowd of protesters at 200 East and 400 South. The witness said the man got out of the vehicle with a large knife attached to his side and pulled out a bow and arrow and attempted to shoot someone.

The junk food media saw protesters tackled the man to the ground. Police officers in the area pulled the man from the crowd and took him into custody.

Shortly thereafter, a black vehicle which some witnesses said belonged to the man with the bow and arrow was flipped over by protesters and lit on fire.

Two women in Madison were caught on camera throwing rocks and kicking windows at a store.






The woman comes from a suburb of Madison and was caught on camera starting trouble. She was called out by protesters to not act like that. It was revealed that she took pictures with Donald Trump, Jr. in one of her school photos.

Confederate statues in the south are being toppled over. In the South, many of the protesters have toppled statues of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Nathan Bedford Forrest monuments.

The Floyd family have called for justice. They want all the four officers to be charged with first-degree murder. The independent autopsy said that George died from asphyxiation. Derek Chauvin is facing second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and three-degree murder.

Today, Trump had made a phone call to the governors. He called them "weak" and told them that they should take action now to stop the unrest.

"You have to dominate. If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time,” Trump said, according to a person listening to a White House call with the nation's governors.

According to a source on the call, Trump was "annoyed" with the governors for their response to the protests and urged law enforcement to crack down and make more arrests. "You've got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again," Trump said, according to the source.
The Robert E Lee memorial is defaced by protesters.
Trump was described by one person on the call as "losing it," with another saying the president called the governors "fools" and expressed anger with Democratic mayors in particular over the protests and unrest ravaging cities nationwide.

Trump said that other countries watching the situation unfold think Americans are pushovers.

"You have to dominate. If you don't dominate, you’re wasting your time," the president said, according to a person listening in.

The president also called the initial response in Minneapolis "weak and pathetic" and said that protestors have likely spread out to other cities. The person said Trump seemed obsessed with "antifa," or anti-fascists, and Occupy Wall Street, which he said was handled well by comparison and "just went away one day."

During the call, Trump claimed to have intelligence showing who the "bad actors" and professional instigators are, though he did not elaborate.

Trump also asked states to enact laws against flag burning in what the source described it as "a rant."

The White House billed the event as a "video teleconference with governors, law enforcement, and national security officials on keeping American communities safe."
George's family calls for the ex-cops to be tried for first-degree murder.
Several governors pushed back on Trump's narrative, including J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, a Democrat, the source said. Maine Gov. Janet Mills, also a Democrat, said she was concerned about the president visiting her state this week "because of security." Maine is home to Puritan Medical Products, the company the administration compelled through the Defense Production Act to produce coronavirus testing swabs.

Trump's response to the unrest has been to call for stronger law enforcement rather than calling for calm or addressing the concerns about police brutality and racism that many protestors say drove them to come out. Critics say an escalation in force would exacerbate already high tensions between protestors and the police.

After another night of protests led to fires and vandalism blocks from the White House, Trump spent Monday morning on Twitter blaming the unrest on antifa and accusing staffers of former Vice President Joe Biden of  "working to get the anarchists out of jail."

Trump had no public events scheduled for Monday, after not appearing in public on Sunday.
George Floyd's name will be etched in 2020.
Trump's advisers have been divided over what role the president should take in responding to the widest unrest the country has seen in decades. Some say the president should focus his message on Floyd, the black man who died last week at the hands of Minneapolis police, and urge calm.

Others say the top priority is stopping the violence and looting that have taken place in some areas, arguing that the best path to that end is strong police tactics, not presidential speeches.

The Midway Wrap Up!

We closing out May on a sour note.
We're halfway into the year. As we close out the month of may I just want to remind you that we're still in a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has cost over 115,000 people their lives. We have over 3 million confirmed cases in the United States. By far the highest amount of cases are reported in the United States.

The unemployment rate in the United States is 14.7%. There is over 45 million Americans that are furlough or unemployed through no fault of their own.

We have unrest in the United States due to the death of unarmed people of color. The recent death of George Floyd has sparked nationwide unrest. In most communities, mayors are calling the governors to deploy the national guard to calm tensions. The hypocrisy is so there.

Just a mere four weeks ago, we had those REOPEN AMERICA protests where armed white protesters yelled and spit in the faces of cops. But when BLACK LIVES MATTER protests against police brutality and systematic racism in American government, white people hijack it for their own malicious intentions.

What the fuck does "Medicare For All" has to do with systematic racism?

What does looting from a GameStop has to do with police brutality?

What does graffiti has to do with do with the plight of Black America?

Donald J. Trump is seeking reelection. Joe Biden is clinching the Democratic nomination.

Both of these men have slipped into the cesspool with rhetoric. Trump had said, "When the looting starts, the shooting starts." He called protesters, THUGS and was hoping that the U.S. Secret Service released the dogs on protesters near the White House.

Biden went to The Breakfast Club a week ago and said to Charlemagne Tha God and said that Black's who don't support his presidential campaign, "You ain't Black." Biden apologized and vowed to do better when it comes to dealing with wordplay. The Trump campaign spent a week trying to agitate the junk food media into covering the comments.

Biden has also dealt with a woman called Tara Reade. The allegations of Tara Reade have fell through yet the Republicans and disgruntled Bernie Sanders supporters continue to push this crap.

Trump has labeled Antifa a terrorist group. Antifa hasn't plotted bombings of synagogues, mosque and historically Black churches. Antifa hasn't planned an armed revolution against white people.
White instigators are ruining the protests for George Floyd.
The Proud Boys (along with the Boogaloo Boys), The Base, 3 Percenters, QAnon are white nationalists. Trump never declared them a terrorist group.

White people are still calling the law on innocent Black people.

We're now calling them Karens and Kevins.

Blogger is going to change soon. They're going to use a new interface where it's supposed to be easier for those on mobile. We'll see how it goes. I tried it and I don't like it.

But that's my opinion.

We are going into the three months of uncertainty. The Supreme Court will rule on some major decisions that will impact the country. Trump and Biden will eventually start live campaigning.

Biden will pick his running mate and it will be either praised or scrutinized.

The Democrats are considering a virtual convention.

The Republicans still want a live convention in Charlotte.

There were wildfires in Australia that destroyed millions of animals. Some of those animals are endangered and vulnerable to diseases.
Far-right ops are trying to cause chaos going into the summer.
We lost Kobe Bryant, Little Richard, Jerry Stiller, Pop Smoke, Betty Davis, Kirk Douglas, Kenny Rogers, Earl Graves, Sr. and Fred Willard. They left an impact on your life through entertainment, activism and history.

We are expected to see more major celebrities pass away this year.

I don't mourn the loss of life anymore. I just say that they'll be missed.

That includes other entertainers, politicians, athletes and people in the news. Some we've covered and some weren't. I will be honest with you with the coronavirus cases and gun violence on the rise, I couldn't get many of the names mentioned.

I've been lazy these last few weeks. I am uncertain about my work status right now. The Ohio governor Mike DeWine hasn't opened up specific business yet due to the possibility of spreading COVID-19. I work at business that has more than 100 people and can have thousands of people entering and exiting the facility.

Like many on furlough and unemployment, there's times where you fear that you may fall through on paying rent, health insurance, hospital bills and feeding your family.

With Trump continuing to be divisive, there's no chance we're ever going to be "stronger together."

I will continue to fulfill my promise to keep you informed about the latest issues in politics, culture and our community.

Watch The Ops!

Trump continues to divide the country.
Donald J. Trump called Neo-Nazis and members of the Klan, "very fine people."

When it comes to Black outrage and protests in the United States, he considered Black protesters a "bunch of thugs." He even envisioned the Secret Service using dogs on protesters.




Notorious agent provocateurs are infiltrating the George Floyd protests across the country. Some are members of Antifa. Some are injecting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) into the debate. Others are members of the far-right. Some have reported that cops are masquerading as protesters. They're causing vandalism, arson and looting to pin the blame squarely on Black Lives Matter.
Mugshot of the ex-cop who murdered George Floyd.
The known agent provocateurs are:

James O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, a far-right "investigative" organization that deliberately edits videos of progressives, activists and politicians for click-bait. O'Keefe is known as the "ACORN Pimp."

Scott Pressler, a gay activist who has the "Gays for Trump" movement. He is notorious for spreading falsehoods and a prominent anti-Muslim bigot. He has been known to pay agitators to cause trouble.

Joey Saladino, a YouTube agitator who once tried to run for office. He is known as Joey Salads. He is known for racial pranks and starting riots for click-bait.

Kaitlin Bennett, the founder of Liberty Hangout. She was the infamous woman who posed on the campus of Kent University with a firearm. She is often trying to interview protesters and paint them in a negative light.

Jacob Wohl is an American far-right conspiracy theorist, fraudster, and internet troll. Wohl is known for his involvement with lobbyist and conspiracy theorist Jack Burkman in multiple plots that target politicians, entertainers and people in the news.
Protesters destroy an Atlanta Police cruiser.
Alex Jones is the founder of InfoWars, PrisonPlanet and MindWars. He is a far-right conspiracy theorist, right wing provocateur, shyster and instigator. He will be inciting rioting and looting for click bait.

Laura Loomer is a controversial alt-right agitator who was banned from most social media platforms. She is running for Congress as a Republican in Florida. She has been known for pulling pranks and throwing tantrums at politicians for ignoring her bullshit.
White guy tried to start trouble.
Cornel West is a former professor and socialist agitator. He is an African American lecturette who supports Sanders. He was a former supporter of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. West is considered an insufferable asshole when called out on his former statements.

Charlie Kirk is the founder of Turning Point USA. TPUSA's affiliated organizations include Turning Point News, the Turning Point Endowment, Turning Point Action, and Students for Trump. TPUSA's mission is to identify, educate, train and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government. Since 2016, Turning Point USA has maintained a Professor Watchlist, which lists college professors who, it alleges, discriminate against conservative students and advance what it considers to be left-wing propaganda in the classroom. The organization has also secretly attempted to influence student government elections in an effort to "combat liberalism on college and university campuses." In December 2017, former employees of the organization accused it of engaging in racist practices, as well as potentially illegal involvement in the 2016 presidential election. The Anti-Defamation League refers to TPUSA as an "alt-lite" organization. CBS News has described the organization as a far-right organization that is "shunned or at least ignored by more established conservative groups in Washington, but embraced by many Trump supporters".

Andy Ngô is an American conservative social media personality and journalist best known for covering street protests in Portland, Oregon. He is editor at large of The Post Millennial, a Canadian conservative news website.
White guy who tried to start trouble got his car destroyed and a trip to the hospital. He tried to use a crossbow on protesters.
Colin Flaherty is a white nationalist who wrote the book, White Girl Bleed A Lot. He devotes his life to covering Black on whatever violence. He has ties to the extremist group VDare. He is the guy who brought up the "knockout game." This controversial theme is some random idiot punching a person they don't know to prove manhood. It's been practiced on social media by young Black kids. Flaherty's videos on YouTube are often yanked because of the content.

Violent protest have occurred across the country. The city leaders are imposing mandated curfews to keep agitators from destroying property and harming others.

In Columbus, Ohio, Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) was hit with tear gas. The downtown protests got out of control and the Columbus Metropolitan Police fired tear gas a reporters and the lawmaker.

A man from Utah got served a hot plate. He was taunting the protesters with "All Lives Matter" and then tried to use a crossbow to attack protesters. The protesters served a hot plate and destroyed his vehicle.

Many of the agitators are from out of the cities. They're there to cause chaos and pin the blame on Black Lives Matter.
Twitter flagged Trump's remarks on Minneapolis unrest.
Many of the agitators starting fires and looting in Minneapolis-St. Paul are from outside the area.

Minnesota's governor Tim Walz echoed this sentiment in a press conference on Saturday alleging that the demonstrations that caused so much damage included provocateurs, likely from outside the area. State officials said around 80 percent of those arrested in the Twin Cities on Friday were from outside Minnesota. Former FBI agent and CNN commentator, Josh Campbell wrote, that Minnesota “authorities have been monitoring alleged criminals online, including postings by suspected white supremacists trying to incite violence.”

Before the rioting started in Washington DC, Brooklyn, Denver, Atlanta, and other cities, allegations emerged that undercover police officers might be to blame for some of the worst commercial destruction in Minneapolis. Experts on political violence (and not just QAnon conspiracy theorists) shared stories on social media that the May 27 looting and arson at AutoZone by an unidentified man in a gas mask carrying an open umbrella (dubbed #umbrellaman) was not necessarily a protester but could be an agent provocateur or member of the police. In video posted to YouTube, while this man smashed windows with a hammer, protesters at the scene accused him of being an outsider and began to film him.














Tamika Mallory, a controversial activist and provocateur spoke an uneasy truth this weekend.


A good man who died for no fucking reason.

They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.

Look at his history with police....

Blah, blah, blah....

Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government.

Don't you just want to scream!?

Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting or a person of color being killed by law enforcement in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk."

We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will see more issues like this.

I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others. It doesn't stop dirty cops from killing unarmed people of color. It doesn't stop Trump from putting his foot in his goddamn mouth.

We have 115,000 Americans killed from the coronavirus.

We have 45 million Americans out of jobs.

We have global uncertainty. Trump has already ruined his "wonderful" trade deal with China.

We will likely heading towards a depression, racial unrest and a global pandemic that will kill 1 million by the fall.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Are white people with malice causing chaos as a cover to inflict Black Lives Matter?

Yes
No
Other
Please Specify:

Please note there will be trolls who pick the most dumbest answers.

Some will face criminal charges from vandalism, grand theft, destruction of public property, assault on a peace officer, felonious assault, violating state or city ordered curfew, misdemeanor impeding traffic and threatening public officials.

You are warned, do not use the services of (Jeffery) Shaun King. Please avoid this individual. He doesn't represent Black Lives Matter in anyway.

Van Jones Blames Hillary Clinton For Unrest In America!

Leftist agitator Van Jones blames Hillary Clinton for the tensions. He ignores Donald J. Trump's rampant attacks on people of color.
Leftist agitator on CNN blames former 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for the actions of Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Reminder: Sean "Softball" Hannity spend about 3/4th of his right wing carnival and nightly shitshow talking about Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, the Deep State, the junk food media, Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. These are the distractions that the softball use whenever he's trying to give cover to our reality television president, Donald J. Trump.

Did you know this morning a CNN reporter was arrested by the Minnesota State Police?

Did you know that seven people were shot in Louisville, Kentucky?

Did you know they burned down a historical building in Minneapolis?

Did you know that a Detroit man was shot and killed during a protests?

Did you know a woman ran over protesters in Denver?

Did you know that Donald Trump had said protesters would face dogs and other nasty things if they've cross the barriers of the White House?

I guess that's Hillary Clinton's fault. A private citizen who has no control over what the U.S. government does.



I guess that's Hillary Clinton's fault. A private citizen who has no control over what the U.S. government does.

Well in the morning, Van Jones was making a claim that the woman who called 9-1-1 on a bird watcher over a leash law on "white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter."
She ain't the president. Regardless of whomever is the president, unrest happens in America.
CNN's Van Jones argued Friday during an analysis on racial tensions that a “white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park” can pose a more insidious threat to African Americans than openly racist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.

Jones was referring to Amy Cooper, a white woman who called the police on a black man in New York’s Central Park on Monday after he asked that she put her dog on a leash.

Film of the exchange and subsequent call to police went viral, with Cooper repeatedly referring to the man's race while falsely saying she was being threatened.

“It’s not the racist white person who is in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about. It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, 'Oh I don’t see race, race is no big deal to me, I see all people the same, I give to charities,’ but the minute she sees a black man who she does not respect, or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been trained by the Aryan Nation,” Jones said.

“A klansmember could not have been better trained to pick up her phone and tell the police it’s a black man."

“What you’re seeing now is a curtain falling away,” Jones later added. “Those of us who have been burdened by this every minute, every second of our entire lives are fragile right now. We are tired.”

Cooper was fired by her employer, Franklin Templeton, on Tuesday and has since issued an apology.



New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday he believes Cooper should be investigated for making a false claim to police.

Jones's perspective comes after days of violent protests in Minneapolis following the police killing of George Floyd earlier this week.
Protests continue in the country.
At least 170 businesses in the Twin Cities have been damaged or looted, with dozens of fires set, according to local police.

The dirty cop who placed his knee on the neck of George Floyd was arrested on Friday. They have released his mugshot.

He was arrested on involuntary manslaughter, third-degree murder and tampering with evidence. He was given a hefty cash only bond and will face a judge soon.

Minnesota's Gov. Tim Walz has ordered the national guard to do maintain order in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
America is burning.
Georgia's Gov. Brian Kemp has notified Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms that the national guard will be deployed to the city to maintain order.

The White House had went into lockdown. The U.S. Secret Service reported that an agent was injured when the protesters managed to get past some of the barriers.

BREAKING: Dirty Cop Served With The Murder Of George Floyd!

Dirty cop faces murder charges.
NBC News reports that there's been arrest made in the death of George Floyd.

Gov. Tim Walz has the Minnesota National Guard and State Police restoring order to the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. After three nights of unrest, the governor has activated a curfew and mandatory off the streets order beginning at midnight.

The unrest came after days of outrage over the death of George Floyd, a man who was restrained by Minneapolis Police. One of the four cops placed his knee on the neck of Floyd.

Floyd was caught on camera telling the cops he couldn't breathe and he needed water. The person who filmed as well as other witnesses were telling the cops that he was unconscious.

After nearly 10 minutes of being on the concrete with a knee to the neck, he was not moving. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.

The police chief Medaria Arradondo saw the video and immediately fired the four cops. The mayor of the city, Jacob Frey had condemned the cop's actions. The mayor called for the state to investigate the matter.

Today, the former Minneapolis police officer shown on video putting his knee on the neck of George Floyd was arrested on Friday, authorities said.

Derek Chauvin, who was fired on Tuesday along with three other officers involved in the detainment of Floyd, was taken into custody Friday and faces charges of 3rd-degree murder and manslaughter, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced.

Floyd pleaded "I can't breathe," as Chauvin, who is white, kneeled on Floyd's neck for around eight minutes on Monday night, in an arrest that was videotaped by bystanders. The police department initially said Floyd, who was black, "physically resisted" the officers and that he died after "suffering medical distress."

Freeman said he anticipated more charges to come, possibly against some of the other three officers.

“The investigation is ongoing," Freeman said, "We felt it was appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. This case has moved with extraordinary speed.”

Just 24 hours earlier, Freeman had said the case still needed more investigation.

But by Friday, Freeman said enough evidence had been gathered.

"All of that has come together and we felt, in our professional judgement, it was time to charge," Freeman told reporters.
George Floyd deserved to live.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and the FBI are both investigating Floyd’s death. The BCA arrested Chauvin at 11:44 a.m. in Minneapolis, the state agency said.

A conviction for third-degree murder could land an offender in prison for up to 25 years.

Third-degree murder means an offender did not intend to kill, but that someone died “by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life.”

Freeman noted that these charges mirrored the same criminal complaint filed against former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor, in another high-profile local case involving excessive force.

Noor was convicted of third-degree murder for the July 15, 2017, slaying of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a dual citizen of the United States and Australia.

Freeman said the prosecution of police officers, who act while on duty, are particularly difficult cases.

"This is by far the fastest we've ever charged a police officer," Freeman said. "Normally these cases can take nine months to a year."

Chauvin's arrest comes after three days of protests in the Twin Cities, with the unrest in some areas erupting into violence.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey demands the state to prosecute the cops for this.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey had called this week for charges to be filed swiftly against the officer who pinned Floyd under his knee. "Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?" Frey asked.

"If you had done it or I had done it, we would be behind bars right now.”

In the video, Floyd can be heard saying while he is pinned down, "Please, please, please, I can't breathe."

Onlookers urged the officer to get off him.

"You're stopping his breathing right now, you think that's cool?" a man says. "His nose is bleeding. Look at his nose!" says a woman.

After several minutes, Floyd went silent.

More people began to intervene and called one of the officers at the scene to check for a pulse. Chauvin remained on Floyd's neck, even as he was apparently unresponsive, before paramedics arrived and Floyd is placed on a stretcher.

Medics worked on an unresponsive Floyd in an ambulance, but could not find a pulse after several checks and administering at least one shock to him, according to a report from the Minneapolis Fire Department.
Attorney General Keith Ellison said that the state will look into criminal charges against those cops and rioters.
Security footage obtained by NBC from a nearby restaurant showed some of the events leading up to Floyd's arrest. The video captures two officers arriving at the scene around 8 p.m., removing Floyd from a car parked on the street, handcuffing and questioning him before eventually walking him across the street as another police car arrives.

Chauvin, a 19-year department veteran, was the subject of over a dozen prior police conduct complaints unrelated to Floyd that resulted in no disciplinary action and one that led to a "letter of reprimand" during his career. A longtime police training expert for the state of Minnesota told NBC News that a dozen complaints over a two-decade career would appear "a little bit higher than normal.”

The Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis said in a statement the day of the officers’ termination that it was not the time to rush to judgment and that the officers were fully cooperating with the investigation.

"We must review all video. We must wait for the medical examiner's report," the statement said.

"Officers' actions and training protocol will be carefully examined after the officers have provided their statements."

Attempts to reach the officers and their attorneys have been unsuccessful.

Floyd’s death reinvigorated a widespread conversation on police brutality and protests around the country in addition to the Twin Cities.
Gov. Tim Walz will issue a curfew for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area beginning tonight. He had ordered the national guard and state police to restore order to the region.
A good man who died for no fucking reason.

They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.

Look at his history with police....

Blah, blah, blah....

Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government.

Don't you just want to scream!?
Expect more protests in many communities outside of Minneapolis.
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting or a person of color being killed by law enforcement in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk."

We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will see more issues like this.

I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

 We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others. It doesn't stop dirty cops from killing unarmed people of color. It doesn't stop Trump from putting his foot in his goddamn mouth.

We have 115,000 Americans killed from the coronavirus.

We have 45 million Americans out of jobs.

We have global uncertainty. Trump has already ruined his "wonderful" trade deal with China.

We will likely heading towards a depression, racial unrest and a global pandemic that will kill 1 million by the fall.

The third degree murder charges are basically a willingful ignorance of actions. He basically failed to render aid, he deliberately injured a man through physical violence, he disgraced the uniform by not assisting a medical emergency of a suspect. The actions by the suspect caused harm (without intent to cause death, proximately caus[ing] the death of a human being by, directly or indirectly).

The suspect could face up to 20 years in the iron college for the actions.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

You are warned, do not use the services of (Jeffery) Shaun King. Please avoid this individual. He doesn't represent Black Lives Matter in anyway.

When The Looting Starts, The Shooting Starts!

Trump inflames tensions with Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Twitter flagged and shielded Donald J. Trump and The White House's official profiles for inciting violence in a tweet. This comes fresh after Trump signed an executive order calling for the U.S. government to hold social media companies accountable for content.

Only last Friday, the Trump Presidential Reelection Campaign was trashing Democratic candidate Joe Biden for his remarks from The Breakfast Club.

As President of the United States, his job is to be an orator and comforter of the people.

He said he's a "Bull in a china shop."

Proof positive when he tweet early morning that he believes the protesters who are looting and vandalizing property are thugs and he made a dog whistle remark towards it.
Racist tweet got flagged by Twitter.
Trump took aim at Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota governor Tim Walz over their handling of the unrest in the state.

It started from a Monday video of a dirty cop placing his knee on the neck of George Floyd. The four cop were fired out the cannon and the U.S. Justice Department and FBI will work with the Minnesota Bureau of Apprehension to determine if the cops deserve criminal charges. They hadn't made a decision as of yet. That sparked another night of protests in the city as well as neighboring St. Paul.




Trump's remarks were widely condemned. He was instigating violence force against a handful of protesters.

Twitter called the comments a violation of the its terms of service.

The tweet was quickly flagged by Twitter as "glorifying violence."

It's gone so far as to catch the biggest pop singer in the world.

Taylor Swift was really annoyed with the antics of Trump. She basically took it to him.



The president's language got more aggressive as violence boiled over in Minneapolis Thursday night.

"These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen," he tweeted. "Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"

Twitter quickly tagged the post, saying, "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible." It still is.
George Floyd's brother Roy has now taken over as spokesperson for the family.
On Friday morning, the White House Twitter account retweeted it. Twitter added the same tag to that one, too.

Trump's tweet and reaction from Twitter came after he signed an executive order Thursday taking aim at the legal shield that protects social media companies from liability for content posted by users on their platforms. That happened after a first-ever fact check by Twitter on his tweets this week.

The quote Trump tweeted — "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" — was said by former Miami Police Chief Walter Headley during a December 1967 news conference, according to The Washington Post.
Businesses were vandalized, looted and burned to the ground.
Miami had a long history of aggressive policing. The Post said that quote was cited by a national commission as a contributing factor in rioting that broke out in the mostly black Liberty City section of Miami in August 1968.

An accompanying tweet from Trump sharply criticized Frey: "I can't stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right....."

Walz had order the National Guard and Minnesota State Police to restore order to the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The community so far is doing a costly clean up after two nights of unrest.

At an overnight news conference, Frey didn't appear to be aware of the Trump tweets. He asked reporters to read them to him. As they did, he shook his head.

Then he said, the anger clearly audible in his voice, "Weakness is refusing to take responsibility for your own actions. Weakness is pointing your finger at somebody else during a time of crisis. Donald Trump knows nothing about the strength of Minneapolis. We are strong as hell. Is this a difficult time period? Yes. But you'd better be damned sure that we're gonna get through this."
