#1 Forget the bean bag ammo. Issue 5.56 ball and tracers and tell the cops to use it (in writing) if they are assaulted or feel their lives are endangered.

When these lawless SOB's are forced to drag away their dead and wounded, this kak will soon stop.

#3 Analysis provided by a former colleague:

Stepping back, this is another crisis too good for the left to waste. Covid is fizzling out and has run its news cycle course. People are seeing they have been had and the economy was devastated along with their incomes, so this will do fine to divert attention and keep things stirred up till the election.

It looked like the economy could have bounced back, so this is a win win for the Trump haters. I am sure that agents provocateurs were dispatched immediately. Sadly some of them are talking heads of the MSM. We have just been stampeded by that crew over the covid virus. You know the results. However, I do not seeing this backfiring and fizzling like the covid panic. As the mobs prove there is a lot a pent up racial hatred to exploit among a population already stressed to the max. On the lighter side, Rioters with covid masks is quite a sight. Bit lax on the distancing part though.

#12 I have noticed, in some video clips, the rioters are mostly white. I would not be surprised, especially in DC, the white rioters are paid antifa.

#13 I have seen it reported (unverified but quite plausible) that Antifa has hired and deployed rioters.
I have also seen a photo of a large liquor store in flames. Must have already fully looted it...
It seems the policy here, as it was in other cities during the last round of riots, is to try to contain it and let it burn (literally) itself out. That may be the most expedient course in the short run, but eventually it is analogous to paying ransom to hostage takers or paying blackmailers - it will come back for more.

#17 Given that the left embraces the concept of "Never let a crisis go to waste," the question arises as to who is coordinating and funding these “Spontaneous” riots that have erupted across America at the same time?

Interesting perspective: Staged Event



These officers were involved with something, I’m not sure exactly what, but something is just not adding up.

I think there is at the very least the “possibility”, that this was a filmed public execution of a black man by a white cop, with the purpose of creating racial tensions and driving a wedge in the growing group of anti deep state sentiment from comon people, that have already been psychologically traumatized by Covid 19 fears.



Historically, in election years and in politically contested areas or in groups, racial or gun violence incidents are becoming common place. Considering the rising approval rating of President Trump in the black community, an event like this was unfortunately “Predictable”

Consider these points and contrast them to every other police brutality incident you've ever seen.

The filmed portion of the incident was about 10 minutes long. In that amount of time, three officers are holding one handcuffed man down. You only know that because of the pictures taken from across the street. You can't see the other two officers in the video because they are behind the vehicle. During 8 minutes of the entire video, the officer has his knee on George Floyd's neck, which is not taught or approved by any law enforcement agency.



Additionally, other than the Asian officer speaking occasionally to the crowd of bystanders, there is no communication from any of the officers to Mr. Floyd. No talking, no shouting. When have you ever seen a police brutality video without police shouting?



Additionally, the police had no goal. They weren't trying to subdue him for arrest, he was already handcuffed and all they needed to do, was place him in the back of the car. There is no plausible explanation for taking him to the ground and having three men on top of a handcuffed man, a knee placed on his neck. Mr. Floyd presented no threat and was not resisting. The only goal that there appeared to be was exactly what happened: “To be filmed brutally killing a black man”.

Think about this, these officers did not care about being filmed, in fact the officer stared into the camera with soulless eyes and an emotionless face, reminiscent of an assassin, as he knowingly killed an American Citizen.



None of the officers spoke among themselves or did they speak to Mr. Floyd. They did not respond to his pleas for life. They just sat and kneeled on him until he was passed out and then waited an additional 4 minutes after Mr. Floyd lost consciousness to ensure that Mr. Floyd was dead and could not be revived.



The bystanders are verbally communicating to the officers, that he isn't breathing. Unlike any other similar incident, you never see the officers getting on police radios. You never see or hear them calling dispatch for backup. No other police units arrive on the scene and strangely enough, the crowd does not seem to grow either.



The scene does not end until an ambulance arrives and they unceremoniously flop him on a gurney. At no point does anyone in a uniform ever check his vitals. “As if they aren't remotely curious about the situation they are in” BTW. who called the ambulance and for what reason? Because if the reason was that Mr. Floyd was having a medical issue, they wouldn't have still been crushing his neck.



Shortly after the video went viral, a fake Facebook page supposedly belonging to the officer, at the center of the murder appears and pictures are uploaded that say "Stand your Ground" and "Trump 2020". A picture of the cop with a red ballcap that says "Make America White Again". A friends list populated with obvious sock accounts and people clearly not his friends. This is the same kind of fake Facebook stunt that happened with a group made to look like support for the men involved with the Ahmed Aubrey case.



Is it mere coincidence that this happens the week after “race” becomes a major political issue after the Biden "You ain't Black" gaffe, started to threaten the black vote the Democrats so desperately count on?



Additionally, there is substantial video evidence to arrest at least one officer now. Why would the local authorities not charge him immediately, unless there was a political advantage not to!

Is it mere coincidence that this happens right about the exact moment the COVID-19 fear campaign falls apart, and after it has psychologically traumatized the entire country and got everyone at each other's throats and suicide attempts are spiking? Is it mere coincidence that this happens after the Auhmed Aubrey case... Which somehow eluded the mainstream media completely until two whole months after he was killed? When has that ever happened? Timing issue? Is it mere coincidence that Supreme Race Baiter Obama was making videos a couple weeks ago connecting COVID with "Systemic Racism"?



FINALLY....Description: Description: ‼️Description: Description: ‼️ this entire scene plays out with the cop car and license plate that says "POLICE". The plate was perfectly framed for maximum subliminal impact. This also means he was literally just 1 foot away from the back seat of the police car and these cops thought it was smarter to kill a black man on camera, than to pick him up and move him one foot into the back of the police car.
