"justice for the officers"
Did he mean justice for Mr. Floyd?

"justice for the officers"
Oh geeze. He might not be convicted.
NO he did not deserve to be murdered but, it all began with Floyd and choices he made.
It's comforting to hear so much concern about this right now.
I hope we are just as concerned about how afraid those families feel for their children every time they set foot anywhere near law enforcement, or jog into places where they might not be welcome, in case a bunch of guys in a truck decide to chase them down with guns.
I hope we are just as concerned about how agonized those families feel every time they see someone who looks like them mistreated by the police - on camera even - and there are no consequences for the officers.
I hope we are concerned about how it felt for those families to see a woman in Central Park say out loud that she was going to intentionally use the police to get revenge on a black man.
Another possible victim (of the protesters/looters)???
Police: Woman found dead inside a car in Minneapolis
Thank you!
120 businesses have been looted and/or destroyed. My heart breaks for every one of these businesses who had nothing to do with George's murder yet have paid the heavy price for the sins of the excops involved. How is that justice? How is that honoring the precious life lost?
What they have really done beyond destroying their own city/neighborhoods they have defamed the memory of George, and what happened to him. Imo, I find that shameful.
When the violent rioters run lawless in the streets night after night the attention becomes more about their lawless behavior than what happened to George, and that's unforgivable.
Even George's girlfriend begged for peace yet she is ignored. She said George wouldnt want the violence to happen because he was an easygoing peaceful man who loved his city. So, imo, George has been lost in all of the unbelivable arsons, lootings, violence, and mayhem.
Imo, it comes across as these violent rioters do not really care about what happened to him, but are only using his tragic murder as an excuse for their own criminal advantage.
How does committing multiple arsons or stealing businesses blind or violence against others honor George's death?
I even saw where a lady in a wheelchair was beaten, and her purse stolen. What did she do to deserve this kind of criminal behavior or all the others who've lost their livelihood through no fault of their own?
Sigh, it seems this Mayor is going to be just like the one in Baltimore while his city burns to the ground.
We know when riots of this magnitude happens it takes decades for the areas hard hit to overcome it. Yet we see it happening once again right in front of our eyes with no relief in sight for all of the innocent citizens caught up in it.
If I was a citizen living in the violent rioting areas I would be terrified for my own safety as well as my family, and friends.
Each day since this began I come here to make sure Dre is okay because I worry so much about them.
May there be peace, and full justice given for George, and all of his love ones.
Jmho
How many people are having their lives destroyed. I honestly don’t care about race although I know it is a discussion to be had. Perhaps I am naive.How many black employees are without their livelihood now that the stores have been destroyed? How many black families will be inconvenienced now that target has been destroyed?
Let's not forget all of the looting and riots could have been avoided if only the murderer was arrested. Let's not forget doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. This is nothing new. Arresting Chauvin would have prevented everything occurring right now and the authorities were more than aware of that before they chose not to make the arrest.
Not intended to be OT, but wondering, as I saw the CNN arrest. As I understand it, LEO do not have to tell you why you are under arrest. Does anyone know - is there an actual good reason for that?
I would think it would encourage resisting arrest (most of us would probably freak out if someone just arrested you without saying why). Why couldn't that be part of Miranda? Might go some way to softening the stereotype of power-tripping LEO. I don't know if it would reduce resistance, but it would at least remove that aspect of resistance - not knowing why it's happening.
I think he means the officers will be brought to justice - aka, trial, convicted, sentenced, etcDid he mean justice for Mr. Floyd?
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is most definitely not the definition of insanity. That was just Einstein's view of the meaning of insanity. It has nothing to do with what it means to be mentally disorded.Let's not forget all of the looting and riots could have been avoided if only the murderer was arrested.

Yes, there are all sorts of threats on social media against cops. Many are not verified and they are retweeted by bots. Not every forum is moderated.
Yes brought to justice. He said justice for the officers. MisspokeI think he means the officers will be brought to justice - aka, trial, convicted, sentenced, etc
Yes he clearly did. The governor was quite passionate in speaking about Mr. Floyd and the injustice done to him.Did he mean justice for Mr. Floyd?
How many black owned businesses are being destroyed in the rioting?
