    What exactly do the protestors want?

    First, I support the protests after the killing of George Floyd and fully support people speaking out against racism. I thought the main thing was wanting justice for Floyd. All 4 cops are now facing charges.

    But what exactly do people want to have happen now.
    -Defund the police?
    -Abolish the police?
    -No guns for the police?
    -No more prison?

    We saw what happened last weekend with the rioting and looting... is this the society people want instead? I just don't get it.

    And now all these companies announcing they aren't racist as part of their marketing is disgusting.

    I assumed you weren't racist before but I guess good for you? That's great, I totally believe every company that puts these messages out.

    Very interesting too it seems alot of the people I've heard racist comments from in the past are the ones the most vocal in supporting the protests and BLM. I guess everyone changed overnight good to know.

    they want chaos. they are fighting order

    ideally you want a little bit of both but when one goes too far bloodshed is always the result

    It not good enough to just face charges. Cops are hardly ever convicted.

    Another thing to add to what Pavy said:
    Set up a system so when the "bad cops" bad cop they are kicked off the force instead of being able to carry on like nothing happened.

    So you think you that is something that you should get?

    My people didn't get reparations either.

    They bussed in a bunch of protestors to my small town yesterday morning. News said there were about 500 people gathered downtown. They then migrated several blocks and laid down on the highway entrance for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. They were screaming "Fukk the police" and all kinds of other anti-cop shit over and over. Someone passed out and then they shouted for help from the police. How ironic.

    Many protesters brought their kids with them, which seemed like bad parenting decision.

    It was mostly fat white women and what appeared to be Lesbians or those-binary neutral what-ever-you-call-them.

    About 50 cops dressed in riot gear closing off certain roads and numerous citizens armed with guns throughout the city.

    This all happened downtown, meanwhile 8 miles away up on the hill, they closed the entire Walmart complex and even boarded up the windows at Petco. Guess they were worried that someone was going to steal a parakeet.

    Protest ended about 5 PM and they went home, but promised they would be back today. Not sure why they would be coming back.

    I expect this to start happening all around the country. Unless you're close to retirement, there isn't any reason to have to put up with this garbage. My 18 year old daughter has talked about going into law enforcement, and I'm doing everything I can to talk her out of it.

    That city is gonna become a jungle in no time. If I were a cop there I'd quit immediately and find a new profession also.

    Cops in Minneapolis are under attack now. Good chance you'll get hurt, fired and or even incarcerated anyway if you stay on the police force there.

    I still don’t understand why people are not saying stop committing crimes number one! number two, if you do commit a crime understand the consequences are going to go to jail you’re going to get arrested or you gonna have to go to court. There’s a common denominator, nobody gets hurt if nobody commits crimes and if you feel like you need to commit a crime, understand you’re going to get arrested, therefore just comply with the lawful order and serve your time.


    Let’s start there.

    It’s always about people feeling owed.

    Don’t matter the race. White kids to feel they are owed something.
