    When there is a curfew in place it is.

    we need to stop vilifying those that are in charge of keeping the peace. There are some very bad, power hungry police. We need to stand up to those that allow them to stay in power.

    I heard this FORMER police office had 17 violations. If that is true, what kind of culture is in that police department.

    There are people vandalizing police station in Portland Maine. Writing things such as all police are bad, there is no such thing as a good police officer.

    this is not the way to bridge the gap, the police officer (sheriff I think) who walked with the protesters. The group of protesters that built a wall to protect the officer who got separated from the others. These are the things we as humans need to do.

    The “SYSTEM” has moved incredibly fast to prosecute this officer. The federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies are giving this their undivided attention and they are being extremely vigilant to bring Floyd justice. THERE is no cover up by anyone and even if there was it would have been exposed immediately. I strongly disagree that the “system” is standing by and doing nothing. America’s “system” isn’t imperfect however it is great because no where in the world do we have the freedoms that we have in America...

    What this officer did is despicable but he is entitled to his constitutional rights until prove guilty (which he should be). We are a nation of laws NOT mob rule.

    I wonder if all those involved with the murder had been arrested, if leadership had decried police violence and said it would addressed, and if leadership had shown more empathy to the victims family, events would have turned out differently? Coulda, woulda, shoulda, we’ll never know. But after 200 years, you’d think we’d be better at this.

    These so-called protests are doing nothing but fueling the fire of hate on both sides, It is time people realize that the only person that can prevent you from being killed is yourself. George Floyd's death was preventable, had he never put himself in that situation he'd still be alive.

    Riots, burning buildings, looting, do nothing to help the BLM movement. Just makes them look like criminals.....which in many cases. they are

    Closing this dumpster fire before shit starts flying. Good example of why disallowing political talk keeps the site less crazy
