No, it isn't helping at all and they should stop going to so many extremes for sure.

I sure hope those poor buildings can recover from this.

No one is suggesting this is the right response but deflecting to it takes attention away from the main issue. That there are still systemic issues of racism and police brutality in many of these police forces. The guy is telling the officer he can't breathe and he's in a position where he's of no harm to the officers. Meanwhile, all of them just sit there while that one cop has his knee in Floyd's neck while being videotaped.

If these cops can't do the right thing when cameras are on them, it makes you wonder what they are doing when there is no one watching.

No doubt the cops were wrong and they should be fired/charged.

Maybe instead of looting and stuff they should successfully protest and protest peacefully

Here’s the scene at Target a few mins ago

It's not just about that. There needs to be a culture change in many of these police forces. Those other 3 officers should not be engaging in nepotism where they main objective to protect the blue wall. I have to believe at least one of those officers knew Chauvins actions were wrong but did nothing about it. The shield shouldn't trump common sense, compassion, and doing the right thing.

And how do you propose they fix this culture change? You realize there’s racist and bad people in every profession. A couple bad cops don’t overlook all the good cops who protect and serve this country.

It’s just sickening to see cops constantly under attack over a few bad apple cops.

How many cops watched this happen? At what point is it not a few bad apples?

And sure there are racists in every profession... But it's this profession's job to protect and serve. This is different then whilhelm the neo-nazi baker.

Which is the vast majority of cops.

They just set the Auto Zone on fire now and it’s totally engulfed in flames. So stupid

You need cops to be better integrated into minority communities. I also think the vetting process for becoming a cop needs to become more thorough. There should be annual psychological background checks on cops imo as well.

This cop had a dozen complaints against him since 2001. You would think at some point that might have put his job in jeopardy, right? I understand not all complaints have legitimacy but fool me once, shame on you, fool me twelve times and maybe there is smoke by that fire.

I agree that a few bad apples spoil the bunch but there needs to be checks in place. There are way too many instances where white cops use excessive force on minorities.

I think looting takes attention away from the issue too. It's not like they are using logic or anger, it's greed.

Absolutely.
