McDuffie Riots in South Florida | NBC 6

[@daleslover2771]

I couldn't believe how reporting has changed, everything from those doctors, to the TV reporter. You'll never see that in this day in age.

[@Mayatv7]

Facts the truth j. The media and the doctors

[@RebetJonesJ6MC]

I remember this well. I was 14 years old, living in Miami Liberty City when this happens. We were out of school for 3 weeks. 40 years ago, and I'm looking at it happening today again.

[@sdorce1]

I was younger and vaguely remember this. I was 8 yeasts old and can remember the sirens for days. This moment represents past present and future if the chain isn’t broken.

Nobody has learned anything from history. If anything, society has gotten dumber

[@MAlley-fm4et]

These young people think, after the Civil Rights Movement, that was it. I grew up in the 70s when white teachers didn't teach black history and we didn't have a Martin Luther King holiday. School was pure Hell! Especially on a black kid. The little boys was treated worst. These white men were nothing but Klansmen. It makes me so upset when, I hear black people not helping one another and harming one another.

[@SPAZZYok]

I think these days these woke kids believe that no progress has been made and racism is everywhere and worse than ever. smh

40 years later

[@blessedlauralee]

Did the family file a lawsuit and did they win. This is so sad. Lord have mercy. Those demons got away with murder.

[@timothythornton6624]

Do you think they should be guilty?

[@wagonhound_official]

They filed a civil suit to the tune of $25 million against the county, but settled out of court for 1.1million. The family's legal team received $483,000, His mother received $67,500 and children over 200k

[@wagonhound_official]

​@@timothythornton6624For the crimes they were convicted of, yes. They were found not guilty for manslaughter, tampering with evidence, and I think second degree murder. This is 100% manslaughter and tampering with evidence. They lied on the initial police report, and ran over the motorcycle with a squad car to make it look like an accident to hide the fact that they ripped him off his motorcycle and began beating him merciless. The officers literally admitted to this. McDuffie broke the law and evaded police but after he yelled I give up and stopped his motorcycle, he was ripped off his bike and bum rushed by 6 to 8 officers with nightsticks and flashlights. They were guilty.

[@thedirtybubble9613]

There were actually a lot more blacks in Miami back in those days. A lot of black Miamians moved away since then or got pushed out. Liberty City is dead today.

[@marcuscole1994]

Smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ how you gonna have 6 WHITE makes as the jury

[@sdorce1]

Jury of their peers bro. That’s the shame

[@seanmcmanus2777]

Probably why they moved to Tampa

[@Visiontech]

In 1981 Dade County settled a civil lawsuit filed by McDuffie's family for $1.1 million. The 1980 Miami riots were the deadliest since the 1960s and remained such until the 1992 Los Angeles riots twelve years later.

[@TheJuan72]

I was going to Miami Central HS back then.

[@sdorce1]

I remember seeing that a little girl got pinned to a wall by a car, during this.

[@sheilak2835]

Yes, she’s a grown woman now. Still living in Miami.

[@sheilak2835]

I remember this very well. I was in middle school. Very sad time.

[@sshoegirl30004]

Wow! This was before my time, and history does repeat if we don't make sure the people know about it. Thank God for smartphones and social media. So sad.

[@patrickc3419]

6 member jury? How does that happen?

[@curtandoscar]

All white, male jury. This is like the 'thin blue line' people today who back the police absolutely no matter what they do.

[@patrickc3419]

@@curtandoscar No, trust me; as a staunch conservative member of a law enforcement family, I think that was despicable insanity that these officers were acquitted. No “mistaken identity”, no questionable “did he have a gun in a threatening manner”, they literally murdered this man.

[@curtandoscar]

@@patrickc3419 I wonder what became of the doctor who told the press that McDuffie’s injuries were in no way related to any motorcycle accident. If I were him I would have been afraid for my life for speaking the truth about murderous cops.
