I feel like I'm missing something, what are these protestors (peaceful or not) actually protesting? They arrested the dude and he'll face trial. What more is supposed to happen? Do they want a banana republic where we execute people on time square after a YouTube clip of an incident gets out?

If it was a court decision of not guilty or a refusal to file charges or something corrupt I'd understand, but what exactly here went wrong?

Seattle cop removes his colleague's knee from a man's neck as they arrest him for looting during riots

Video


Video captured the moment a Seattle cop removed a fellow officer's knee from the neck of an alleged looter as they took him into custody amid riots against police brutality.  

Photojournalist Matt Mills filmed the confrontation on Saturday night as cities across the country were roiled by protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck during an arrest.

Mills posted the video on Instagram, explaining in the caption that the officers were responding to a call about looters inside a T-Mobile store in downtown Seattle.  

'When Seattle Police Department officers arrived the group attempted to escape without being captured,' Mills wrote.

Good new masks have been unobtanium for several months now.  I saw one place selling M40 masks for $750 - fuck that.  I haven't seen M50 masks available for any price.

From what I can gather, they thing he should have been charged with murder in the 1st. They also want the other 3 cops charged.

We have become an instant gratification society and if we don't get our way immediately...we'll throw a tantrum.

Avon C50, or Avon PC50. C50 is a general purpose mask that can use 40mm CBRN/OC/CS gas filters. PC50 is a cheaper option which only accepts filters for riot control agents.

Midway USA used to have Sellier & Bellot rubber buckshot and 12 ga slugs.  Never really thought about their application before as I didn't expect nationwide riots.

Looks like Cabelas used to have them, too.  Probably fucking Basspro's fault they're gone.

There is a perceived sense of institutional racism in America which has certain minority groups upset, and then other Marxist/anarchist/leftist groups have glommed on to this opportunity to ignite a powder keg of misplaced public sentiment to take advantage of a really interesting set of circumstances to further their own agenda and muddy the waters of who’s responsible. There’s not a singular message, this is a pick-up game team of people that are ill-informed, dishonest, or outright hate our republic and they’re all moving in the same direction at exactly a time when they have more popular and media support than they’ve ever been afforded.

It’s a combination of culture crises that have been allowed to swelter and manifest into what you’re witnessing happen right before your eyes.

That’s the honest truth of it.

The new ford cop cars will have a disinfection program built into them. It revs the engine to 2000 rpm, heats the interior to 133*, and holds it there for 15 minutes. Then it turns the AC on to cool it down. Supposed to kill viruses.

You really can't make this shit up.

Not that I’m aware of. There’s video of the initial conversation, the officers having Floyd in the back of the police suv (after he fell on his own standing on the other side of the sub before they attempted to load him in the back of said suv) and trying to shut the door, and then video of them sitting on top of him after he fought his way out or was dragged back out of the opposite side of the vehicle they attempted to contain him in. Also, it appears the officer that is the prime suspect of this and the victim were both employed at the same night club as security contractors for years. There’s a lot to this story we just don’t know yet.
