As seen on Twitter this morning, but paraphrased because I can't find it now:

There was an issue with Colin Kapernick & others kneeling at NFL Games, an entirely peaceful way to protest the injustice, so why are they now surprised when it escalates?

There is something very strange about some of the images I've seen on twitter.

TV boxes stacked up high being moved around on a dolly by looters looked and moved like empty boxes.

The incident where the chap was killed by the officer leaning on his neck has some anomalies:- The cruiser has the VRM: POLICE and the price of Diesel shown in the background is at 99c when the cheapest diesel at the pumps in the state is ~ $2.74.

False flag event?
How about this vid? https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=98PNX_1590738183 people reckon its a cop

Anyone watching CNN? Crew have been arrested, but the camera on the ground kept rolling. It’s now broadcasting from the hands of a state trooper. This is all a bit mad
Amazing.

Unbelievable..words fail me
Holding a camera is breaking the Law but walking around masked with guns is perfectly fine because, you know....2nd amendment, HOO-RAH!

MAGA?

Video shows a suspicious white man breaking windows at the Minneapolis Auto Zone and then walking away from the scene. This looks like an effort to instigate trouble in order to blame the protesters for the consequences.

Original claims was it was a policeman but the police says they've investigated and it wasn't.
so, it is a policeman:
Who knows?

Yes, there was that as well.

Original video of what has led to all this is rather shocking: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=101570...

I think what's worse is it's not one moment of poor behaviour like a questionable shooting or strike, he has minutes to reassess what he's doing.

I normally take these ID's with a pinch of salt but the facial match there is pretty spot on form what can be seen. Nose/brow, cheekbones. Worrying if true.

They get targeted for doing nothing. Killed even. I can understand black Americans being extraordinarily mad. Many are poor. When you add it all up, they have so little to lose, you can see why some loot. This is, by no means all the protesters, any more than it is all white police officers that murder. People need some perspective.

Whats going on in the USA is utterly lamentable, but completely unsurprising to anyone who knows more about the place and it's history than the happily integrated films and TV shows portray of it.
I can tell you now it’s not the way to do things, it will only make matters worse for them.

The way forward would have been mass peaceful protest outside the courthouses where many white people would have happily joined them.

Not stacking TV’s on a trolley and burning the livelihood of their own neighbours.

I’m just wondering if this breaches the US constitution?

First amendment ...

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and right to petition.

The USA was on the brink of insanity for years. Trump took it over the edge, that’s all.

Trump tweeting "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" is frankly outrageous even for Trump.

If you look at where the CNN reporters are though they’re surrounded by police.

Could we just maybe hazard a guess they’d actually not moved back like they may well have been instructed and prevented the police line from operating correctly.

There’s journalism and then there’s obstructing the police operation?

A population under lockdown for two months with no entertainment.

+

A population facing massive economic problems over the next few months/years and many of them already having to register unemployed.

+

A well recorded incident of a direct assault on a citizen by a group of police which led to his death. These officers only then getting suspended and not arrested to face criminal charges which a lot of the population believe they should have been.

+

A population where a number of them do not believe that virus is that bad and that its all a commie/democratic plot.

+

A population where a number of them do not believe anything the main stream media say and get their news from other "informed and unbiased" sources.

+

A population where substantial amount are armed and some even have assault rifles.

X

A President who is quite clearly going/gone insane.

= ??????

If that isn't a recipe for civil war, I am not quite sure what is. Somebody needs to get a grip, right now. And I mean right now or this could get very bad, very quickly.

And how long do you keep peaceful protests for?

As Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Peaceful protests have resulted in protesters dead.
