.... it is difficult to not feel doubt in the sincerity tho....

NPR interviews a person yesterday that says, 'this is an example of white men using their power over minorities'. One of the officers is Asian. Try reporting facts instead of stirring racism. ANOTHER NPR fail.

Apparently riots are required now to get justice? 🧐

It didn’t take three fucking days to decide an arrest was warranted for Floyd, why does it when we have video of the crime?

Floyd was murdered by the police in front of a camera.

No , Trump said that

“How many years must some people exist before they’re allowed to be free?” - Bob Dylan

I’d probably make it a priority

But will they finally clean up the racism in the police forces around the country?

What exactly is there to investigate? The entire world has now seen the video of a white cop murdering a black man, slowly over ten torturous minutes. What is there to investigate? Bring those cops to justice for the murder they committed.

Barr's DOJ will never do the right thing.

People should protest at the Broadview Village Square. JusticeForGeorgeFloyd protests BroadviewIL

Bill Barr's DOJ? LOL

What investigation , when everyone can see how a wicked act was displayed in a broad day light .. ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️. Why not put that white policeman to law. And let justice prevail ..
