No the title is about the man who was murdered which sparked the protests and riots. I am making my opinion on topic because its actually hurting the cause and his own family said the man would NOT want this violence.

Did you see all the cops in the original killing were arrested? And now we're US police brutality laid bare. Not sure it's hurting the cause.

They would have been arrested regardless of rioting, but we can obviously say thats up for debate as we don't own a time machine to know for sure. That doesn't stop the aftermath from occurring though, if you really think its going to end here and nobody will remember that mayhem negatively in retrospect, its pretty naive.

A crowd of more than 1,000 sat and knelt in silence outside the mayor’s residence at Gracie Mansion, overflowing out into the intersection at 86th street in New York City’s Upper East Side neighborhood.

The protesters maintained their silence for more than 30 minutes, eventually raising their fists in the air, sending a message to New York’s second-term mayor, Bill de Blasio (D), who has come under fire over his handling of the demonstrations.

On the steps of the brownstone in which she has lived for several years, Upper East Side resident Aishi Bahl watched as protesters broke their silence and began their march downtown.

“I’m getting goose bumps because it’s just a show of support and it’s demanding justice and not sitting around expecting somebody else to do it,” the 46-year-old said, explaining that the significance of the march extended beyond just the symbolism of the mayor’s residence — it was occurring in a neighborhood associated with being wealthy and white.

“I’m so glad it’s on the Upper East Side because I’m a colored person that lives on the Upper East Side,” Bahl said. “So for me, this is validation.”

Wearing a face mask made of colorful red fabric, another longtime resident, Wendy Victor, also spoke of how meaningful it was for her — a 47-year-old black woman — to see her neighborhood supporting the movement.

“This is an area known for privilege. They’re known for their doormen and they’re known for their leisure, and understanding the struggle [of the black community] is very difficult,” she said.

Both women were disappointed with de Blasio’s response. Bahl questioned why de Blasio did not use the opportunity to embrace the movement.

“He could have been part of this,” Bahl said. “He could have turned this into something else.”

His cousin is a cop, admitting the police are a serious issue is somehow the same as saying his cousin is a serious issue. He's personally invested in this, that's why he's doing the "Not all cops" while saying everyone who shows anything but "MURDER THEM ALL" in response to the rioters is actively supporting them. He tosses up one line about bad apples are bad but is completely disconnected from how this is ENTIRELY ON THE FAULT OF THE POLICE.

WHAT FUCKING WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN, IT IS NOT REALITY. Philando Castile's killer got fucking acquitted and that's even the same police department as Floyd's murderers. Oh and the police union has vowed to not only defend the 4 murderers, but fight for them to be reinstated if possible.

A San Francisco man kneeling outside a pharmacy that was being looted was fatally shot Monday night by an officer who thought the man was carrying a firearm in his waistband, police said Wednesday.

When Vallejo Police Department officers responded to a Walgreens that was being looted, Sean Monterrosa, a 22-year-old San Francisco resident, knelt on the ground and held his hands at his waist, near a hammer that was in his sweatshirt pocket, Vallejo Police Chief Shawny Williams said at a news briefing Wednesday. That’s when an officer, thinking that the hammer was a gun, fired five shots through his patrol car window, killing Monterrosa, Williams said.

The officer has been placed on leave pending an investigation. Williams declined to name the officer, describing him as an 18-year veteran. A criminal investigation into the shooting is underway. The department hasn’t released body camera or dash camera video, but Williams said it would within 45 days.

“The intent was to stop the looting and to arrest any perpetrators if necessary. The officers reacted to a perceived threat,” Williams said. “I would say that it’s always a tragedy anytime an officer has to use force.”

Williams’s news briefing was interrupted by protesters who shouted at him, causing the police department spokeswoman to cut short time allotted for reporters to ask questions.

Civil rights attorney John Burris, who is representing the Monterrosa family, said Monterrosa clearly wasn’t a threat to the officers.

“This young man was shot multiple times while he was on his knees and appeared to be trying to surrender,” Burris told the Associated Press.

Shortly after Williams announced the shooting, California State Assembly member Tim Grayson, a Democrat who represents Vallejo and neighboring communities, called for an investigation by the state attorney general or a federal agency. He said it was “unacceptable” that it took more than 24 hours for Vallejo police to confirm that an officer had killed a man.

Oh shit, does Draylo's "MORE HAVE DIED FROM RIOTERS" not work anymore?

[Draylo]

Yep now they are going to post snippets to support their agenda. He didn't intentionally kill him, the quote says he thought he had a weapon during a riot, where he was probably breaking curfew. Another case for why the rioting needs to end because people are DYING, which was my whole point. The longer this goes on the more deaths, that is why my OPINION is that it needs to be stopped and you have people like Ladyofhonor coming in and saying I'm wrong over dumb shit.

I didn't forget the police that started this incident, I'm focusing right now on the imminent threat that is taking lives and that is the riots. Why is that hard to understand? Why cant you say, I don't agree with the violence but I support the cause? Why can't you think this violence needs to be ended but the cause continued? Such tunnel minded individuals here yet I am the simpleton, lmao.

If we are all as casual about death as you, I could go and tally up the numbers and show you rioters have CAUSED more deaths. They have caused them DIRECTLY, but also INDIRECTLY as well. I won't do that because its a terrible way to view the situation from a messed up mind.

Oh yeah, "We were just trying to restrain, him, with 4 people, for 10 minutes, we totally didn't expect him to die." and "We were just breaking up a peaceful protest, with bullets, we didn't intend for anyone to die."

Casual about death says the dude who is casual about cops killing people, lol.

[Draylo]

So why are you cherry picking incidents but completely ignoring David Dorn or the total death toll? Why does that work in your favor because its a cop?

[Richybear]

Guys don't you know only the tallies from the current week count? Let's not count everything that brought us to this point. Blacks/Whites/Cops all got along hunky fucking dory until May 25th, 2020

Yes, why am I looking at this scenario with a big picture, historical mindset. Why don't I cherry pick and ONLY care about what fits my narrative. What the fuck.

Narcissist is no longer replying to me. I guess I should have opened with a less direct diagnosis.
