Doesn't change the fact that this doesn't happen without George Floyd. 

One side wants to stop murder and property damage, and one side wants to only stop property damage. It really isn't more complicated than that.

Tell that to the family of the federal security officer who was murdered in Oakland.

And you prevent that by preventing police brutality.

Yep. Brutality against police is unacceptable.

That had nothing to do with George Lloyd. He was murdered by a couple of cowards in a drive-by shooting.

Oh and Trump could have easily ended this on Friday instead of fomenting.

What about local and state leaders? Should they have done something more to stop it?

There is a serious lack of leadership in this country.

I do kind of like the mayor of Atlanta, however.

not a chance. nobody's listening to him, plus he keeps yelling his usual tripe about fake news and sleepy joe.

i'll agree that he should be talking calmly to the nation about hearing their grievances and trying to fix the problem, but that would require compassion from him, something he doesn't have.

I'm trying to think of any way this happens under Obama or even Hillary, and I absolutely can't.

Right, they would have intervened and George Floyd would still be alive.

Well first Hillary would have to win a presidential election instead of lose one.

The far left and far right violent anarchists need to be driven from this country. 

And they can take the Clintons with them.

Did those get this bad?

i don't think arguing degrees on something like this matters. people were pissed, and protests and destruction quickly followed in several communities.

So you can't remember back 6 years ago in Ferguson? Talk about tunnel vision politics.
