The George Floyd Protests (Ongoing)

They are better at reporting the Kardashians farting than any real news.

Because the Kardashians and their blood money origins are more important, duh.

(CNN) Fifty-seven police officers in Buffalo, New York, have resigned from the force's emergency response team following the suspension of two officers who allegedly pushed a 75-year-old protester to the ground, a source close to the situation said Friday.
An investigation is underway in a protest incident Gov. Andrew Cuomo called "wholly unjustified and utterly disgraceful." The man was seriously injured.

Video of the demonstration Thursday shows a row of officers walking toward the man and two pushing him. His head bleeds onto the sidewalk as officers walk past him, some looking down at him.

The demonstrators in Niagara Square were, like those across the country, calling for racial justice after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

That is insane that those police officers suddenly resign over this incident. I don't condone their actions toward the man at all

Pretty crazy as I've been keeping up with everything waiting for my Laptop to be fixed and to say I'm pissed and wanting to break shit is a nice way to put it after what I've seen not only from George Floyd's Death, but the people looting, and Officers continuously forgetting what it means to be a Cop. This Powder Keg has been brewing for years and Floyd's death is the Dynamite that blew everything from the ground up. We are going through enough crazy shit with the Coronavirus this Year, and this chaos is the Bowl of Soup no one wanted to taste, but I hope from this chaos shit gets done to make this World a better place for everyone.

2020 is the year where life is teaching us that we need to be better people. We all deserve this. The world has been full of assholes for too long. People will still be scumbags, regardless, but, hoping all the bullshit this year turns some around.

Then maybe he’s an idiot, but doesn’t mean he deserves to have his head busted open. I’m sorry I actually care about people.

Just like I don’t think cops should be attacked. I actually care about people.

I respect that.

 

[O-Blaze]

I respect that.

I know it doesn’t seem like it, but I just don’t like seeing people get hurt, when I feel things can go better. I just feel he could’ve been detained way better than he was. Grab him and arrest him ya know? Just like the people who attack innocent cops are wrong. We as Americans have to do better or else this country will be doomed.

Wow

in that case, I don’t care how old you are, if you’re going to be a bitch, be treated like a bitch. It’s more embarrassing that this guy is 75 years old and still acting like a twat.

I mean, if they can't easily detain a 75 year old man, that's a bit of a problem. I guess it's just me, being a peaceful type of person. I hate the riots, I hate people getting hurt. Like, certain people I don't feel bad for(pedos, murderes, etc) but I just hate seeing anyone get hurt. Like, they could've easily got cuffs on him if he was doing something wrong.

Minneapolis City Council members say they plan to vote to disband city's police department

Nine out of 13 city council members have said they want to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, despite the city's mayor not fully supporting the idea.

www.cbsnews.com

On Sunday afternoon, hundreds of people rallied at a Minneapolis park to call for more changes to the city's police department. Nine out of 13 Minneapolis City Council members stood up on the stage to announce their intent to disband the city's police department, CBS Minnesota reports. The announcement comes after council president Lisa Bender and member Jeremiah Ellison tweeted last week that they plan to dismantle the police department. The alternative offer had to do with taking the department money and putting it toward community initiatives that strengthen safety, CBS Minnesota points out. Concrete details about how to do the work of dismantling MPD were less defined, although council member Philippe Cunningham said the upcoming budget is a great place to start. "We're not going to tomorrow all the sudden have nobody for you to call for help. There will be thoughtful and intentional work that's done, research engagement, learning that happens in a transition that will happen over time," Cunningham said. Many people have asked, in this visionary future with no police, "Who do you call when there's no 911?" One of the speakers on Sunday said it would be family and neighbors. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey issued a statement Sunday addressing the need for reform, but said he doesn't support disbanding the police department. "I'll work relentlessly with Chief [Medaria] Arradondo and alongside community toward deep, structural reform and addressing systemic racism in police culture," the mayor said. "And we're ready to dig in and enact more community-led, public safety strategies on behalf of our city. But I do not support abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department." On Friday, Frey signed a temporary restraining order (TRO) with the state of Minnesota, forcing immediate policing reforms for the MPD in the wake of George Floyd's death on Memorial Day. Some of those changes include banning the use of chokeholds by police and requiring officers to report and intervene if excessive force is being used by another officer. The Minneapolis City Council approved the TRO during an emergency meeting Friday. The city's school district, the University of Minnesota and other agencies, organizations and businesses have severed ties with the department in the past 12 days since Floyd died while being arrested by four now-former police officers. All face criminal charges, and all are in custody.

This amount of stupidity is unconscionable.

 

[Lady Redfield]

So they basically want to put all those cops out of work there because a few were dipshits, is this what I’m reading?

59 less shit cops tbh.

I just wanted to post this video to show that there was a lot of misinformation spread by the media about the 57 "Resignations ". It was reported that the 57 resigned from Buffalo Police. They in fact did not. They resigned from a "Voluntary " position due to not having legal support if something happened. Don't blame them at all. If I'm doing an extra job and don't have protection, I am not doing it neither. So no, the 57 are still employed with Buffalo PD. The actual story wouldn't get as many likes, retweets, and shares, so why not go with the controversy and make a few more dimes, right? No need for integrity in reporting when there is money to be made!
