law cannot fix everything, all the problem are coming from the human itself, law can't shoot, can't kill, cant steal and human will ignore the law if they wanted to , laws are just a invisible mind sabotager that had its own limit, Even if george floyd didn't get killed today ,something would still cause a riot to start it all over again. NO ONE CAN SATISFY THE LIMITLESS HUMAN GREEDINESS, and greed are not just a form of luxurious , this so called "modern world" had way more complex problem than you can imagine and it's fucked up ! the moment you started and living in this world , you must know to not trusting any other human being despite whatever they done , you must look into different perspective to find and seek the truth out of it, Human can make mistake and it can affect you just when you think it's not going to...

Ik right people r still looting and destroying businesses people r still talking about white on black violence when black on black violence is significantly higher People r still killing cops and beating up or threatening to kill white people because “they r all racist” even tho that is the very definition of racism people r still thinking that just because a white cop killed a black man that they were racist when the truth is the cop was probably poorly trained and a moron but that doesn’t mean they all r I fully agree police brutality is a real issue but black on black violence is such a bigger problem and it is the thing we should be focused on we need better cops cops that aren’t poorly trained and we just need more support for low income areas that are basically third world countries at this point the only thing I disagree with is the fact that this is a race thing RIP George Floyd

[@randyrobertson4686]

I understand being a cop is not an easy or everyday normal job. They never know if they are going to go home at the end of their shift. But this is disgusting and absolutely horrifying treatment of another human. Personally, I wasn’t raised to give any consideration upon race or religion or whatever. I just don’t understand….Rodney engaged in a pursuit, YEAH….so what. Does that give you the right to beat him mercilessly and even when he’s obviously submitting to these bastards they continue to pound him. I also don’t think that white people deserved to be targeted and pulled from their cars and beaten. I mean, would if I happened to drive through that intersection that day….granted I wasn’t even old enough to drive but that is besides the point. I am white, whatever that means because a sheet of paper is white and I wouldn’t disappear if I walked in front of a white mural…but anyway the point is who cares what your darn skin pigmentation is?? I propose anyone watch two children, one Caucasian and the other black or Asian or whatever and see how they play together with zero regard towards how the other child looks visually. I know personally because my children have had, basically all their childhood, had friends either black or other minorities and we certainly didn’t raise them with any racial prejudice nor did the parents of their friends. So this racism is all taught I truly believe but unfortunately I don’t think that will ever change. These cops give the good and decent ones a really bad rap.
