Additional videos? Interesting timing.

Probably sounds like 'crazy talk' but let's imagine just for a moment George Floyd attempt to pass a fake $20. was a trigger intentionally designed to prompt immediate police response and arrest. Let us further imagine that Floyd's erratic behavior and possible resistance while in custody was purposefully caught on video and released to the media.

A further leap of lunacy might even suggest the CNN crew arrested in Minneapolis was also orchestrated, as was the bizarre attack on the CNN complex in Atlanta.

I know, crazy talk right ?

#2 The situation was ripe, anything could've triggered riots.

#4 My problem with the "passing a counterfeit $20.00" narrative (and I'm not trying to excuse anyone involved in this nasty little ballet) is this: Someone passes a fake $20 in my store, I note the time, make sure the guy's picture is on my surveillance footage, call the Federal Building and ask to speak to someone in the FBI, Treasury or US Marshal's office. I tell them I have a fake $20 and a picture of the guy who passed it to me. Going to bet I get some action.

#5 It is the height of folly for anyone to rush to judgment in a case like this based on video clips that they see on television. You never know what kind of editing was done on these videos and, even if there was no editing, it is rare for a short video to convey the whole story.

But MSM does it every damn time because telling the whole story is not what they do. They don't care about the accused getting a fair trial in front of an impartial jury that has not been prejudiced by some sketchy video. They don't care about the riots that may result from their reckless and irresponsible coverage of the incident.

#6 I know, crazy talk right ?

Actually, there is an unpleasant odor coming from Minneapolis these days.

#7 Imagine Antifa and company have a plan and are waiting for some incident. They'd prefer to wait until closer to the elections but you gotta take the opportunity when it presents.

In this case they got lucky is that the cops actions are very difficult to defend, lucky in that everyone is already freaked out about the future and the nation is a powder-keg. But unlucky as the election is still half a year away. Still, gotta launch... so they did.

#8 Floyd’s family said in a statement with their attorney, Ben Crump, that they "expected a first-degree murder charge."

I do not believe he would be convicted for First Degree murder. So if the attorney general is dumb enough to charge him that way we'll get riots part 2.
