    No. I mean Trump likes to pour gasoline on fires. He likes to stir up racial animosity. That's what helped him get elected in 2016.

    I wouldn't go as far as to make that accusation but it's funny that every time Trump gets the ball rolling after a battle with thr Democrats another bullet gets loaded into their chamber. Lots od democratic ex-machina sota speak.

    I watch Fox more often than I watch CNN. Last night Fox was throwing protesters in the same sack as looters and rioters... no difference to them. Maybe they had some Republican high profile politician who condemned the murders while I was not watching. I just didn't get to hear them

    I'll condemn the murder as soon as it is determined to have been one.

    Yes, that is precisely what most of these riot participants want -- if they even knew how to be honest in regards to their desires. The media outlets working for the DNC egg them on, as do the Dem Party politicians.

    Then he'd better learn from Obama and get gooooooooooooooood at race agitating because Obama was very good and very dedicated when it came to endlessly race-agitating . . . The necessity for the world's first beer summit . . . If I had a son he would have been Trayvon . . . you Ferguson rioters, stay the course. Nice!

    Protesters and looters become one as the violence escelates.
    You would become a whole lot smarter and your research would be much easier if you would pick a local station in the city that is undergoing protest/riots and spend the night watching in real time.

    No such thing has actually occurred to my knowledge, except in the minds of the Trump haters. However, we see that promoted every day by the MSM and blamed on Trump- no facts or connection necessary, if the narrative benefits their objective and attacks Trump's image, they are on-board in a heartbeat.


    Why don't you support some clear examples of Trump promoting racial animosity? Back up your claim.

    Yeah well, if you're going to modify a quote, make sure you check it after posting it to be sure you did it correctly.

    That aside, all those listed were black. We have seen cases in which white people, even while carrying, are dealt with properly by the police. The truth is that the police are significantly racist. Floyd's death was clearly the intention and goal of the cops. Racism. Pure racism.

    Sorry that was obama by supporting the lies of black lives matter


    you have to prove that point....

    i am not going to do your whole list but Eric Garner was a thug who resisted arrest and dies as a result.. No guilt on the part of the officer. absolutely no justification for calling anyone a racist.

    lastly you are too ignorant of the situation to determine the officers intent, as are we all.
    you are jumping to conclusions you have no right to jump to. is there anything about this situation that leads you to believe that it was racially motivated???
    i mean besides your assumptions about the officer..

    1) "Get those sons-of-bitches off the field"---Trump referring to Black football players protesting the killing of unarmed Black men.
    2) Trump asking for the death penalty for the Central Park 5. They were five young men of color who were accused of raping a White female jogger. Later, another man confessed to the rape. Trump never apologized to the Central Park 5.
    3) Trump called African countries "shitholes"
    4) Trump said the city of Baltimore was "rat and roach infested and not fit for humans to live in". He was referring to Black people.

    I don't think any kind of logic can support that; the consequences to the cop make the idea he intended to kill an impossible stretch. I have no doubt he intended to be physically harsh and indifferent, to inflict a kind of punishment for not fully complying with demands, and I agree that was excessive and would have been so even if George was not harmed.
    Sadly- the worst racists I've known were black people, not white. While it is the obligation of the police to act without racial bias, I am also aware that they know the risks are greater in encounters with blacks than they are with whites, and the abuse they take in such situations is intense. I don't think there is a way to feel no bias toward any group where this is true, no matter how hard one tries or is "trained."
    I think the vast majority of police handle this very well, and it is ridiculous to expect that to be 100%.

    Just or not, every group that has an "identifier" such as color will be affected by the image that the group they are part of carries. If the majority of dog bites you know of were inflicted by one breed or by one color of dog, you would be extremely cautious on encountering a dog of that nature, and you would be more proactive in protecting yourself. The interesting aspect of this is that a group can control that image by it's conduct. For example, if every person you knew that was named "John" was a person of outstanding character and honesty, you would find you had a preference for doing business with people named "John". The identifier of "cop" actually refers to the people we rely on to keep us safe and risk their lives in the process. At the same time, it refers to people responsible for public discipline, including writing you a traffic ticket. Thus we expect their protection, yet many are offended by them enforcing the laws. Bad cops are the exception, but in the relationship with the public we will have some groups who always hate cops until they need them- and expect them to be perfect anyway.

    We don't know all the details of the Floyd George incident yet, and the protestors don't care- because for all purposes, they are a lynch mob unwilling to look at the rest of the story.
    Some demand to be respected, but have no respect for anyone else. The officer may have been racist- but certainly not as much as the people in the lynch mob.

    i am sure that mob would like nothing more than for the mayor to simply hand over the cop to the mob,, his life expectancy would be less than 8 minutes and his body would never be recovered, it would be ripped to pieces with bare hands...
    that's not justice, that's just a mob doing what mobs do.

    This situation will be handled justly, just as they always or nearly always are.

    Wow. Really? He could have taken the virus as seriously as it was described by the W.H.O. and the CDC, and as many other countries did, but instead he called it a hoax! He kept a cruise ship offshore because if it came to port, those sick people onboard would be counted among the sick and he didn't want the numbers to go up. He failed to enact the National Defense Act to order production of PPE. He said testing for COVID would only increase the number of known cases and he didn't want that number to go up. And now we have more cases than any other country including populous ones like India and China. And you come up with a BLANK regarding what he should have done???????

    Blind loyalty much?

    Bullshit. Catch up. It's a known fact that for years white supremacists have been encouraging members to join the military to get combat training, take MMA classes, and join police forces to swing the pendulum to the right and to work for "racial purity". Accordingly, it has been found that white supremacists are on police forces. Google is your friend. Look into it.

    Which ones, other than Biden who has FANALLY done so after days? What about the useless Minneapolis Mayor!

    Absolutely! Everyone does! The cop is a piece of human waste who was clearly guilty of brutality!

    Why is it partisan to ask you if you have any insight?

    That doesn't mean KILLED, but are you under the impression that this is the ONLY thing he said?
